Senior Art Producer
Hi 👋 I’m Luke, Talent Acquisition Manager here at Starbreeze, and I’m looking for a Senior Art Producer to join Danny’s amazing art team here in our Crew.
Your job is to connect our art teams with the rest of production, ensuring everything from PAYDAY’s masked heisters to Project Baxter’s fantastical environments gets made on time and looks incredible.
So, are you an expert organizer who gets a thrill out of wrangling creative chaos? Do you know your way around a game development pipeline and have a knack for getting the best out of people (and pixels)? If so, we want to hear from you.
Please note that this role must be based at our office in Stockholm 5 days per week.
What You'll Be Doing
🏃 Leading the charge: You'll be the go-to person for planning and coordinating large-scale art production.
🎯 Hitting targets: You'll work closely with our Art Directors and Leads to understand our needs and ensure that our art aligns with and hits our high-quality targets.
🧩 Solving puzzles: We all hit roadblocks, but you'll be the one who works through them into a clear, actionable plan.
🕵 Sleuthing for issues: You'll spot risks before they become problems and make sure our projects stay on track, on budget, and on point.
🤠 Wrangling external partners: You'll own the relationship with our external development partners, from giving them the initial brief to reviewing the final work.
🧠 Sharing the wisdom: You'll mentor less experienced Producers, helping them level up their skills and achieve their personal development goals.
What We're Looking For
A seasoned pro: You've been around the game development block and have a deep understanding of art production and a portfolio of projects to prove it. You know what it takes to get things done across the full development cycle on AA+ titles.
A cross-functional collaborator: You understand various craft workflows and dependencies, and are confident working cross-functionally to align goals across teams to ensure project targets are reached.
A problem-solver extraordinaire: You’re able to solve highly complex problems, adapting solutions to production constraints and team needs.
An expert communicator: You communicate with clarity and influence, helping shape team alignment and decision-making.
A mentor at heart: You genuinely enjoy helping others grow and succeed, whilst continuously learning yourself
A passion for games: You understand how all the pieces of game development fit together to create a truly great player experience.
Interview Process:
30-minute Google Meet call with a member of our Talent Acquisition team.
1-hour Google Meet call with our Studio Art Director and an Art Producer.
1-hour Google Meet call with a Development Director and an Art Producer.
1-hour studio visit to meet with our Studio Art Director, as well as some other potential future colleagues.
