team management, and cross-disciplinary collaboration-ensuring that the visual identity and
execution of each project meet both client expectations and studio standards.
This is a full-time temporary role with the possibility of extension or conversion to regular full-time employment after six months. Our studio is based in Eugene, Oregon, and the role may be performed remotely, in a hybrid arrangement, or in the office.

production rules for the project.

assets.
Direct and manage internal artists as well as external partners and outsourced assets.
Work within an existing IP or develop a new visual identity from scratch.
Actively contribute hands-on art support in at least two areas of art (2D, 3D, UI, etc.)
when needed.
Push the overall art quality within project constraints, maintaining balance between
creative excellence and production realities.
Collaborate with production to estimate workloads, identify dependencies, and forecast
schedules by soliciting input from the team.
Coordinate with other disciplines to ensure the art vision aligns with gameplay, design,
and technical requirements.
Must Haves
 Strong understanding of Unreal Engine (required); Unity proficiency is a strong plus
and/or internal engines.
Understanding of Maya and/or 3ds Max.
Ability to estimate and plan project art tasks in collaboration with production.
Managing the Jira art tickets both for input and for progress.
Excellent communication skills with the ability to collaborate across disciplines and
client-facing communication.
Ability to handle stress constructively and resolve challenges through positive solutions.
Strong ability to mentor and motivate artists, recognizing areas for training and growth.
Strong passion for games and game art production.

Nice-To-Have Skills
 Ability to concept and create inspirational art for project direction.
Comfort creating marketing or social media assets as needed.
Education & Experience Requirements
 8+ years of experience in game development with several recent titles shipped in an Art
Lead or Art Director role. Shooter/action game experience a huge plus.
Strong understanding of game art pipelines, production methods, and visual storytelling
as well as advanced processes for current AAA production.
Previous experience managing or directing teams within a dispersed multi-studio
collaboration while maintaining the lead role.
A Flexible Working Environment
