In this role, you will act as the leader of our internal creative studio, actively managing priorities and ensuring creative work is clearly prioritized, well-briefed, aligned with stakeholder needs and delivered on time to the expected quality bar across a broad range of static, video and in-game assets - from trailers, screenshots, key visuals and game capture to creative materials supporting employer branding, internal communications, investor relations and wider studio initiatives.
