  • Able to make clear and constructive decisions in a timely manner whilst under pressure and remaining positive.
  • Able to build and sell a shared cross departmental vision for the areas you are responsible for and act as an ambassador for the game as a whole.
  • Able to quickly pick up, analyse and distil game mechanics and systems to ensure that we are focused on the things that provide the most worth.
  • Critical and analytical thinker able to step out of their role and think from a player's perspective, delivering accessible and engaging ways to interface with complex systems.
  • Experience with onboarding players via tutorials and in-game guidance.
  • Demonstrable experience of owning an entire feature design, from reviewing feedback and iterating to achieve a specific goal defined by the Lead and / or Creative Director.
