As a Narrative Writer, you don't just write content and forget about it. There is an ongoing, collaborative process in which you need to participate actively, from creation to implementation. All of the words you write subtly reinforce the creative vision of the game, whether it's through the description of an object in the world or through voice-over lines.
You're a master collaborator and communicator, capable of working with all game crafts, and you have a good understanding of narrative-related pipelines in free-to-play games. You have excellent writing and editing skills, and you have a keen understanding of tone of voice.
Example of responsibilities
Write content and edit copy that will appear in a game, in a community forum, or in marketing material
Work with the audio team to deliver on the emotional tone of the creative vision, by regularly writing voice-over lines
Create narrative systems that help to support gameplay
Work with the UI team to reword on-screen content to fit specifications
Undertake research to obtain factual background information relevant to a story, and to implement the findings
Write and maintain documentation about IPs (e.g., style guides and world books), thereby allowing for consistency in writing across all game crafts
Act as a champion of the story and narrative design in cross-discipline teams

It would be awesome if you have
Experience with publishing pipelines
Ability to turn abstract ideas into simple sentence
Ability to receive feedback openly (sometimes it takes several drafts to align writing to the creative vision, and that can mean rewrites or heavy edits)
Ability to switch between strategic work and tactical work
Ability to respond positively and calmly to shifting priorities, demands and timelines
Experience with Unreal engine
Native-level fluency in English
