About the Role

• Oversee outsourcing workflows, including briefing external studios, reviewing returned assets, and managing the relationship through delivery.
• Mentor junior and mid-level FX artists, building team process consistency and raising the overall quality standard of real-time visual effects output.

What You Bring

• Several years of production experience in real-time VFX, with credits on at least one shipped AAA game or comparable large-scale production.
• Hands-on proficiency with industry-standard VFX tools used in game development pipelines, including particle systems and real-time simulation software.
• Demonstrated experience leading or mentoring a team of artists in a structured production environment.
• Strong organizational skills with a track record of managing competing priorities across a multi-discipline VFX pipeline.
• An artistic eye capable of evaluating VFX quality against an art direction brief and communicating notes clearly to a team.
