Delivering clear, informative and engaging updates to relevant stakeholders (from time to time it may be necessary to be a part of partner discussions)

Leading and nurturing a team of game developers and driving motivation towards a common goal

We’d love you to...

Have strong technical experience of Unity and C# development

Have an eye for creative thinking and problem solving - you’re able to bring together broader technical skills

Have experience of people management or leading a team in any capacity (direct/indirect)

Be confident in leading and taking accountability over the end-to-end game development cycle, at times with minimal supervision

Experienced in building and animating 3D characters and worlds
