Do you want to join some of the best in the industry to lead the development of future grand strategy titles? Are you interested in Paradox Development Studios and our games and just itching to help us take our games to the next level? Then you may be the one we're looking for!
As the Game Director (GD) you drive vision and high-level design for one or more games, deciding and prioritizing the game's features for further implementation. The GD is one of the three key roles of a project at PDS without which we do not run a project; the GD is the guardian of the gameplay experience, working with the Project lead (in charge of budget and delivery on time) as well as the Tech lead (responsible for stability and technical health of the project) to deliver on or above company expectations.
The GD also leads and supervises the game designer(s) assigned to the game, making sure that the vision and high-level design is correctly translated into minute design: the Game Design Document is the source of all of these, and keeping that relevant is on the GD - or through delegation - by designers on the project.
The GD is the internal champion of the game, conveying the vision of the game to the whole team, as well as to other parts of the organization. The GD also represents the game externally to media and partners, handling interviews and participating in live-streams and other events for the game.
Game directors are part of a Game director team, lead by a Creative director, and you help others out as much as they support you in reaching your goals of the project and also to continue your development as a high level designer.
Responsibilities
Drive game vision and direct design of PDS title or titles
Manage the Game Design Document (GDD) of the game, making sure it is up to date
Balance quality vs and budget/time and stability concerns together with Project lead and Tech lead
Support the brand team in making decisions on publishing aspects of the game.

Required qualifications
5+ years of games industry experience in a lead design, creative director or similar role for strategy games; the more complex the better
You have shipped at least one title while in a leading role
Very strong written English and Strong Spoken English
Familiarity with and/or interest in Paradox Development studio's games is a plus
On a personal level we think that you are comfortable in coaching and giving feedback and that you gain energy from seeing the people around you improve. You are not afraid of conflict and when you see an issue you are comfortable in dealing with the situation. We also think that you are passionate about videogames and want to be part of and contribute to an organization that delivers fun and meaningful experiences to the players. You can express your ideas in writing convincingly and you thrive in a creative environment.
We offer a cooperative and playful environment that is equal parts experimental and professional. It's a great opportunity to learn, develop, and excel within the gaming industry. We are a diverse team that welcome everyone with a can-do attitude and a sense of fun. The company language is English but we have more than 25 languages (including Quenya) represented across our two offices in Stockholm and Umeå, Sweden.
At Paradox Interactive we come from many different backgrounds and all have very different experiences. Some of us came here with fresh degrees in programming or engineering, some with many years in the games industry and some with just great skills, attitude and a passion for making games. Together we make the best games we can possibly make while having great fun!
