Job Title
We have partnered with an exciting video games studio based in Hertfordshire, who require an Art Director/Lead Artist to work on a range of new titles on PC and Console platforms. The studio has built a fantastic reputation and are known for their high-quality output, close relationship building and have worked on a series of greatly received titles, some of which have earned several 9/10 and 10/10 reviews.
This is a creative role with a major focus on “hands on” work, creating stylised characters and environments. Although this is an ideal role for a generalist, the studio is open to someone who specialises in either characters or environments as well. The key is a passion for video games and creating colourful and fun worlds for players to enjoy!

It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
