The posting

As we continue expanding our portfolio and investing in the future of game development, we are looking for an experienced Creative Director to help shape not only the creative vision of our games, but also the evolution of how game art is created. This role will lead the adoption of AI-assisted content creation across our art organization, helping transform traditional production workflows into modern, scalable, AI-enabled creative pipelines. Working closely with Creative Leadership, Product, Engineering, Technical Art, and Production, you will establish new ways of working that leverage generative AI while maintaining the artistic quality, originality, and player experience PLAYSTUDIOS is known for. As a creative leader, you will combine exceptional artistic vision with deep technical curiosity. You'll champion experimentation, develop repeatable AI workflows, mentor artists in prompt development and AI best practices, and help the organization embrace new technologies that accelerate production while elevating quality. Beyond creating exceptional artwork, you'll be responsible for leading the team's transition toward AI-enabled production, fostering a culture of innovation, continuous learning, and creative exploration.   Duties and Responsibilities

Build and continuously refine AI-driven pipelines for concept art, ideation, asset generation, variations, localization, animation support, VFX exploration, and production artwork.

Develop prompt libraries, workflow documentation, quality standards, and governance for AI-generated content.

Coach, mentor, and train artists to become proficient AI creators, helping the team transition from traditional asset creation to AI-augmented production.

Partner closely with Technical Art and Engineering to integrate AI tools into the broader production pipeline.

Evaluate AI-generated outputs, ensuring they meet PLAYSTUDIOS' artistic standards, technical requirements, legal guidelines, and brand quality expectations.

Continuously measure workflow improvements and identify opportunities where AI can reduce production time while increasing creative output.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
