- Plan and drive the development of game features: set priorities, structure the team, assign design owners to topics, and assess seniority and future hiring needs (participating in the hiring process).
- Design engaging, systemic content loops (e.g. seasonal arcs, events, limited-time modes) that are high in perceived player value while efficient to produce, reusing and remixing existing assets and mechanics wherever possible; set success metrics and iterate based on data and player behavior.

- Collaborate with the Game Design Team on prioritizing and assigning tasks, discussing progress, tackling setbacks, and finding solutions — while ensuring good communication with other teams, with the help of producers.
- Mentor and coach game designers, supporting their growth in seniority and career development.
- Champion designs through the full development cycle — from conception through iteration to release and post-launch support — designing within the boundaries set by the Game Director and challenging them constructively when needed.
- Support implementation of designed features in a structured way: prototyping, iteration, balancing, and delivery, adapting designs as needed along the way.
- Identify improvements to workflows, tools, and designers' pipelines to increase efficiency.
Qualifications
- Senior experience in game design, with at least 1 shipped AAA title as a Lead Game Designer or Senior Game Designer.
