  • Drive the aesthetic quality of the final product, taking ownership of the look and feel of art deliverables.

  • 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.
  • Assist the recruiting team by screening portfolios, conducting interviews, and participating in the hiring and onboarding of new art team members.
  • Champion a healthy, collaborative, and positive team culture that encourages open communication, and shared ownership.
  • Ensure all art assets are rigorously optimized for performance across target platforms without compromising the core artistic vision.
  • Stay informed about emerging trends, artistic styles, and technological advancements within the video game and broader entertainment industries.
  • Help troubleshoot and resolve complex technical art bugs that arise during production.

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.
