My client have several PlayStation3 exclusive titles at various stages of development and are looking for an enthusiastic and talented Senior Designer to help them deliver on their ambitious plans.

• You have the ability to pitch game designs and ideas, to create innovate and commercially aware concepts, to formulate and express a compelling experience and sell that to the studio team!
• Above all they are looking for somebody with enthusiasm, passion and the desire to create the best game experience possible.
Desirable Skills & Experience
• At least three years of experience in a design leadership position, working on a published game in that role.
