  • Partner with internal artists to validate art asset delivery and provide production support
  • Provide detailed feedback and approvals to external partners to ensure assets achieve our desired visual target

Requirements:

  • Minimum 3+ years prior game industry experience in an art source manager, art lead, or content producer role
