Game Designer - Progression & Systems (Assassin’s Creed Franchise)

Job Description

As a Game Designer - Progression & Systems for the Assassin’s Creed Animus HUB at Ubisoft Quebec City, you will design and evolve progression-driven systems that support a live, cross-game ecosystem. You will collaborate with multidisciplinary teams to shape how players engage with features, progression, rewards, and services across the Assassin’s Creed franchise.

In this Game Designer - Progression & Systems role, you will focus on creating clear, engaging player journeys supported by data and player feedback.

What you’ll do

• Propose and drive continuous improvements to HUB systems in a live environment, adapting them to the specific needs of each Assassin’s Creed title while strengthening the franchise’s meta-progression.
• Design and evolve progression and systemic gameplay features that support a shared HUB experience across current and upcoming Assassin’s Creed games.
• Collaborate with UI UX, monetization, and production teams to design player-facing loops experienced through menus and alongside gameplay.
• Contribute to feature development through scoping, prioritization, planning, and reviews.
• Coordinate dependencies with multiple teams involved in HUB feature delivery.
• Partner with Data Analytics and stakeholders to review player data and identify opportunities for improvement.
• Use player feedback and insights to iterate on systems and propose meaningful enhancements.
• Help ensure progression systems remain accessible, engaging, and sustainable over time.

Qualifications

What you bring to the team

• Experience in game design, systems design, progression design, or related product-focused roles.
• Exposure to live or online environments, such as games, platforms, or live digital products.
• Comfort working with data and KPIs to inform design decisions.
• Proficiency with Excel and structured problem-solving tools.
• Familiarity with game engines such as Unity or Unreal.
• Ability to translate analysis and feedback into clear, actionable design proposals.
• Strong communication, collaboration, and organizational skills.
• Curiosity, adaptability, and a player-focused mindset.
