• Create and critique briefs and production packages for OS Production.
• Coordinate content reviews and provide visibility with internal stakeholders on an as needed basis.
• Work with the department AD’s and leads in defining and documenting OS best practices.
• Polish and integrate external content on an as needed basis.
• Actively seek opportunities to improve processes and facilitate solutions at all levels in the organization.
• Integrate external content into the game engine

Ideally, you will have...

• An experienced eye for artistic quality and detail with the ability to breakdown and communicate complex feedback and art direction clearly using visual, verbal, and written medium.
• The patience, temperament, and creative-thinking, and communicative adaptability required to help ensure constant alignment with external partners often separated by distance, language, and cultural aspects.
• Experience working directly with external service providers.
• An understanding of external development risks and requirements and the ability to communicate effectively on behalf of the partner teams to internal stakeholders.
• The best people skills. Empathy for fixing the problems of others, whether internal Respawn or external partners, and respect for others' time.
• 3+ years of AAA game experience.
• 3D Generalist sensibilities with the ability to constructively evaluate and critique characters, weapons, vehicles, props, and environment assets and expert knowledge of foundational art principles.

If this opportunity sounds like a great fit for you, please submit your resume and we will get back to you once we have reviewed.
