Lead Concept Artist

At Scopely, we care deeply about what we do and want to inspire play, every day - whether in our work environments alongside our talented colleagues, or through our deep connections with our communities of players. We are a global team of game lovers who are developing, publishing and innovating the mobile games industry, connecting millions of people around the world daily.

We are in the early stages of development on an ambitious unannounced title, creating a team of talented and passionate game makers that will join us on this exciting journey to bring one of the best-loved intellectual properties of all time to a worldwide mobile audience!

This is a key position at the heart of the art team: an extremely creative, foundation level position, ideating and creating stunningly magical ideas and visuals that propel the project forward! It will also be a direction and control point by which the internal team will manage and guide external artists, ensuring their success and maintaining a high quality standard, reviewing and directing art as it is subsequently developed.

This artist has excellent color skills, capable of visualizing a wide variety of emotions through basic form and hue alone. The ability to make the abstract relatable and humorous is key, as is the ability to make simple forms widely appealing, funny, scary, and relatable all at the same time. Animated renders, quirky gifs, and ‘out-of-the-box’ visual items are the arena in which this artist can make a huge impact early on - this is a deeply creative position where the artist will stretch beyond the bounds of traditional concept art.

The Lead Concept Artist will also be responsible for partnering with the Art Director and Technical Artist as concepts are transformed into game ready assets, offering critique, red-line callouts, and paint overs to help bring the art up to acceptable standards.

Please include a portfolio or PDF/links to examples of your work in the application.

For candidates in CA, CO, NJ, NY and WA, the annual salary range is $144,200 - $180,600, plus equity, bonus and benefits including healthcare benefits, retirement benefits, pet insurance, paid holidays, paid Scopely free days, and unlimited paid time-off. Base pay offered may vary depending on job-related knowledge, skills, and experience.

At Scopely, we create games for everyone - and want to ensure that the people behind our games reflect that! We are committed to creating a diverse, supportive work environment where everyone is treated with respect. We are committed to providing equal employment opportunities and welcome individuals from all backgrounds to join us & embrace the adventure!
