  • If required, make any needed fixes to keep assets consistent and technically game ready as they're handed off from the outsource partner
  • Clearly communicate feedback to the outsource partner, and ensure those creative notes and goals are met, and inform leadership in the event that isn't happening
  • Communicate and partner with internal Epic art staff to ensure that outsource concept art is clear and respects limitations from other disciplines
  • When required, some amount of hands-on art production to deliver concepts for the project, ensuring they are familiar and capable working alongside other Epic artists
What we're looking for
  • Worked on at least one AAA game in a Senior/Lead Concept Artist role
  • Experience working with intellectual properties
  • Experience working with and managing outsource partnerships
  • A portfolio that demonstrates a range of styles, creativity, and craftsmanship
  • Effective communicator, collaborator, and problem solver able to coordinate between internal and external teams and deliver clear and concise feedback
  • Excellent organizational skills and ability to accurately estimate tasks and maintain schedules
  • Understanding of other game art disciplines, their workflows, and limitations (animation, character, environment, VFX)
  • A PLUS - Fluency in a language other than English, including Chinese, German, Spanish, Italian, or Russian
