We believe that you're an excellent collaborator with many years of experience working with multiple game crafts, and have a deep understanding of the specific challenges each craft strives to meet. This makes you a pragmatic designer that can evaluate, adapt, compromise, and positively work towards solving problems across multiple axis. In addition to working on a project, you're also an evangelist for game design across the company with an ambition to improve the design culture, process and thinking among all of our game makers.

• Actively strive to improve and evolve our design culture within the company, helping ensure Embark is the best possible environment for creative talent
We would love if you have
• A creative and curious mind
• 10+ years of creative work across multiple types of games and at least 5+ years managing and directing a design team
• Experience launching and operating AAA live service and/or free-to-play games
• You've shipped multiple titles from inception to launch in a design role
