LEGO Digital Play
LEGO Digital Play will bring the LEGO brand into digital entertainment in new, innovative, and wholly-owned ways. Our mission is to ensure the LEGO Brand remains as powerfully a part of children’s lives in the coming decades as it has ever been. We aim to reach every kid on the planet, their parents, and adult fans of LEGO—and provide them with meaningful, magical, and playful new experiences.
We are at the earliest phases of this new company, offering a unique opportunity to build a new entity for the world's most beloved and trusted brand. Our culture is open, collaborative, intellectually rigorous, and creatively vibrant.
Role Summary
We're looking for a UX Director to own the user experience for a new LEGO digital product, shaping that experience from the ground up: setting the UX vision, and building a team to deliver it.
Together with design, product, tech and art leads, you'll align your direction with the wider creative and technical vision and establish the workflows and standards that keep quality high as the product grows.
This is a role where a philosophy of clarity and accessibility matters as much as visual craft. The right person brings deep experience in mobile UX, an informed perspective, and the ability to translate audience needs into intuitive design.
