What You’ll Do Game Vision & Creative Leadership
Define and evolve the game’s creative direction—tone, vibe, world, characters, and the “why it’s fun” core.
Drive rapid prototyping: take small ideas to playable tests fast, iterate even faster, and kill what isn’t working.
Drive level design direction, ensuring maps, spaces, and encounters naturally create memorable, viral moments players love talking about.
Champion social/party‑game mechanics, “drop‑in/instant fun” loops, and systems that help players make their own moments.
Ensure every feature and level supports the “easy to play, fun immediately, impossible not to share” ethos.
Work closely with design, art, engineering, and marketing to push social features, shareability, and fan-favorite ideas forward.
Tune direction constantly based on real player feedback, playtests, data, and community sentiment.
Team Leadership
Collaborate hands‑on with designers and artists—testing ideas daily, jamming on mechanics, and pushing toward clarity.
Set simple, actionable creative targets your team can hit quickly.
Help coach and grow a high‑velocity, low‑ego creative culture.
Actively use (and encourage) AI‑powered tools that help the team ship faster and experiment more.
Live Ops, Performance & Growth
Partner with leadership to make sure the experience grows in the right direction—mechanically, socially, and creatively.
Keep features lean, impactful, and tightly tuned to player behavior.
Work with the broader team to ensure monetization fits the social/party nature of the experience.
Stay on top of trends in social games, party games, UGC systems, and online multiplayer behaviors.
What You Bring
Hands‑on experience taking a game from concept to launch.
Strong level design background—able to guide, evaluate, and evolve levels that drive social fun, surprise, and replayability.
A portfolio that shows strong creative direction in multiplayer, social, or systemic games (party games, social sandboxes, light‑chaos co‑op, etc.).
Deep intuition for what makes a moment shareable, clippable, or viral.
Experience moving fast with small cross‑functional teams.
Strong creative taste paired with the humility to pivot quickly based on playtest results.
Clear communicator who can rally a team around a simple, focused vision.
Comfort with live‑ops iteration cycles and player‑driven decision‑making.
Passion for gaming, experimentation, and trying bold ideas early.
