Working closely with the Head of Content, the Content Director, and the Franchise Game Director, you will help ensure a consistent player experience, a strong narrative identity, and a shared writing culture across projects, while respecting each team’s creative autonomy.

This role acts as a strategic reference and narrative architect for shared narrative foundations. You will collaborate closely with Creative Directors and Narrative Directors on each project, who remain accountable for the creative vision, quality, and final narrative experience of their games.

  • Support projects when intentional narrative deviations are needed.
  • Build and maintain a narrative roadmap aligned with brand strategy.
  • Act as a strategic partner to project teams on storytelling, pacing, and narrative integration with gameplay.

Qualifications

  • Proven ability to structure narrative at a brand level over the long term.
  • Strong understanding of player experience coherence, narrative identity, and brand strategy.
  • Experience collaborating closely with Game Directors and Creative Directors.
  • Demonstrated influence-based leadership, aligning teams without direct authority.
  • Strong strategic communication and synthesis skills.
  • Ability to foster best practices and shared narrative culture across multiple studios.
  • Solid understanding of AAA game development pipelines.
