Job Description

Narrative / UI Team Lead

You’re not just a designer; you’re a problem-solver, a coach, a mentor. Your mission; To fuel creativity and unlock potential.

Comfortable calling yourself an expert in Narrative/UI Design, a natural-born leader? Great, we like that.

Picture this: a culture where autonomy reigns, where servant leadership paves the way for brilliance. That’s us!

“OK, OK, I get the whole leadership thing, but what about the other stuff?”

Technical Experience:

• Expertise in storytelling & narrative across a wide range of games & digital media
• A solid understanding of game development from a game design/UI perspective
• Exposure to the casino/slots / mobile industry with good familiarity with marketplace trends
• A high degree of autonomy & self-management, as you will need to broadly plan out your workload and manage your delivery (deadlines, quality benchmarks, etc.)
• Good communication & team management skills, as in many situations, you will need to coach your team in getting buy-in from the team for their ideas and suggestions
• Creative and imaginative, but with a strong pragmatic streak

Industry experience – Ideally, you will have some slots experience, but this is not essential. We are also open to mentors and coaches from a mobile industry background

The team set-up – You will have four direct reports. Our Narrative/UI Designers allocate themselves across different projects and clans. This team will grow slowly over the next few years but will not get too big.
