  • Create implementation strategies to achieve aesthetic goals

  • Provide specific visual feedback throughout the stages of production to completion

  • Evaluate existing assets across Stardock's ecosystem for effective reuse in new titles; advocate for new assets where needed

  • Mentor artists across the studio, including direct mentorship of a high-potential junior artist

  • Collaborate with design, production, and engineering to balance department needs, project goals, and visual targets



Education and/or Experience Desired:



  • A proven leader in producing high-quality visuals

  • Must have shipped at least one title in either a Lead Art or Art Director role

  • 10+ years of experience in the games industry

  • A portfolio that demonstrates strong artistic vision and execution

  • Deep understanding of art production pipelines to maximize efficiency and quality

  • Expert-level familiarity with Autodesk Maya and/or 3ds Max, and Adobe Photoshop
