At NaturalMotion, you will play a key part in building innovative games that wow tens of millions of players around The World. In 2020, we were named one of the Best Places to Work in the UK games industry by gamesindustry.biz for the third year running. Just two of the reasons to join the NaturalMotion success story.

Our London Racing Studio - responsible for the CSR Racing franchise - is one of the most ambitious, successful, and creatively inclusive studios in the UK. The team loves welcoming credible talent full of Professional Pride; Ambition; and Humility, who want to do the best work of their career.

We are seeking a Game Design Intern with a genuine passion for the trade, to join the world’s #1 racing game!

Are you looking for the opportunity to make your imprint on a game with an outstanding audience reach?

Do you want to strive amongst people with similar driving forces?

Send us a description of what you are made of, as well as a convincing professional, Indie or Academic portfolio.

Responsibilities

As an official member of the Game Design Team, you are, by definition player-centric, and willing to take on creative and technical challenges on a daily basis, with a people-first approach.

As priorities can often change in a fast-paced environment like ours, this role includes, but is not limited to, the following responsibilities:

You will be responsible for writing clear design documentation related to a piece of content, from a One-Pager overview, through to a Full Specification, and organise it.

You will learn our tools and processes to support and channel your efforts toward the goals and objectives of the Team.

You will play extensively to parts of the game and deliver qualitative feedback across the whole design process, making sure the content you review is as polished as possible.

Using software such as Confluence, Slack and Email as well as being in both virtual and face-to-face meetings, you will be expected to communicate clearly, tailoring your approach to meet the needs of different disciplines and groups and also being thoughtful and respectful to the communication styles of your colleagues.

You will be required to support the Project goals and collaborate within the Design Team as well as at the crossroad of other discipline’s Teams.
