At Wizards of the Coast, we connect people around the world through play and imagination.

• Help implement and improve the pipelines flow for content production and implementation.
• Work with 2D artists, designers, narrative, and engineers to achieve visual excellence for 3D creature, and environment content.
• Provide documentation, style guides, and tools.
• Mentor junior level artists.
• Work to maintain morale and create an atmosphere of creativity and enthusiasm.

What You’ll Bring:

• Strong verbal and written communication, able to give and receive clear feedback.
• Familiar with low poly modeling and mobile optimization.
• Ability to find creative solutions to artistic challenges and problems.
• Able to work with a high degree of self-direction, but also within a collaborative creative team.
• Realistic texture knowledge.
