The posting

Established in 2004, Lakshya Digital - a Keywords Studio - is the largest interactive entertainment and game development services studio in South Asia. Our main production studios are in India, and we maintain satellite studios in Europe, North America.

ROLE OVERVIEW

The Animation Lead is responsible for guiding the quality, execution, and day-to-day

creative performance of assigned animation teams and projects, with a strong focus on

supporting our teams in India.

Working closely with Art Directors, Production, and client-facing teams, the Animation

Lead translates creative direction into clear, actionable guidance for animators, reviews

work, mentors artists, and helps resolve quality, workflow, and delivery challenges.

The role is hands-on and close to the work, while also helping the team build the

capability and independence needed to consistently meet client expectations.

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES

  • Creative Leadership: Review animation work and provide clear, actionable feedback on body mechanics, timing, weight, acting, gameplay feel, and overall quality.
  • India Team Mentorship: Guide and mentor animators in India, helping strengthen artistic judgment, technical execution, and independence.
  • Client & Creative Alignment: Translate client direction, style guides, and feedback into clear guidance, references, and priorities for the team.
  • Quality & Delivery: Monitor quality, first-time approval, rework, and schedule risk; identify issues early and work with Production and creative leadership to resolve or escalate them.
  • Pipeline & Engine Support: Partner with Tech Art, Production, and other disciplines to ensure animation assets integrate effectively in Unreal Engine, Unity, or other project pipelines.
  • Continuous Improvement: Help improve review practices, workflows, documentation, pose libraries, style guides, and other tools that enable teams to work more effectively.

Requirements

WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR

  • Strong professional experience in game animation, including shipped AAA or high-quality game titles.
  • Deep understanding of body mechanics, weight, timing, acting, and both stylized and realistic animation.
  • Proficiency with Maya, keyframe and mocap workflows, and Unreal Engine and/or Unity.
  • Demonstrated experience reviewing work, mentoring animators, and providing effective creative direction.
  • Strong communication and collaboration skills, including working across time zones and distributed teams.
  • Ability to identify creative or workflow problems and help drive practical solutions.

YOU'LL BE SUCCESSFUL IF

  • The animation team consistently delivers work that meets client quality and gameplay expectations.
  • Client feedback is understood and translated effectively, resulting in stronger first-time approval and reduced rework.
  • Animators demonstrate measurable growth in quality, technical execution, and independence.
  • Quality, workflow, and schedule risks are identified and addressed early.
  • The team works effectively with Production, Tech Art, and other disciplines to deliver predictable results.

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.
