  • Assist the recruiting team by screening portfolios, conducting interviews, and participating in the hiring and onboarding of new team members.
  • Define, document, and continuously improve art production pipelines and workflows to maximize team efficiency and quality.
  • Personally create high-quality, "benchmark" animations that serve as a gold standard for the team and establish the target quality bar.
  • Act as the primary point of contact for the animation team, representing their work, needs, and challenges in production meetings and to studio leadership.
  • Research and implement new art creation techniques, software, and technologies to keep the team at the forefront of the industry.
  • Review and approve art assets from internal artists, ensuring they meet project standards.
  • Champion a healthy, collaborative, and positive team culture that encourages open communication, and shared ownership.

What are we looking for:

  • 5 years of experience as a game animator
  • Familiarity with motion capture software, asset management systems, and scripting tools to streamline workflows
  • Proficiency in animation software such as Autodesk Maya, Motion Builder, 3DSMax and Blender, as well as game engines such as UE5 and Unity
  • Deep understanding of animation principles, character movement, and storytelling
  • Ability to create keyframe animations, rig characters, and develop complex sequences
  • Familiarity with motion capture software, asset management systems, and scripting tools to streamline workflows

Benefits

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.
