  • Work with the Studio External AD in defining/documenting Ex Dev best practices and internal training
  • Lead and career manage Respawn Ex Dev Environment Art team with a focus on establishing and maintaining a collaborative, open, communicative, and inclusive departmental culture

  • Actively seek opportunities to improve processes and facilitate solutions at all levels in the organization
  • Be responsible for staying up to date on cutting edge tools and techniques and ensuring relevant knowledge is disseminated across the department
  • Polish and tune external content on an as needed basis.

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, 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 Ex Dev risks or requirements. 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.
  • 8+ years of AAA game experience; 5+ years of experience in a Lead and/or Art Director role
