• Provide hands-on support in key areas such as mockups, concept art, or asset polish
• Mentor and support the growth of junior and mid-level artists
• Coordinate with freelancers and external partners to ensure high-quality, cohesive output

Requirements:

• 5+ years of experience in game art, with at least 2 years in a lead or direction role
• Strong portfolio showcasing stylized, character-driven art, ideally with fantasy or card game aesthetics
• Proven ability to guide multidisciplinary teams (2D, 3D, UI, etc.)
• Proficiency with tools like Photoshop, Blender, Figma, Spine, and Unity (or equivalents)
• Solid understanding of game art pipelines, technical constraints, and cross-team workflows
• Excellent communication and feedback skills
• Fluent in English (written and spoken)

• Familiarity with outsourcing pipelines and scalable content production

Perks:

• Full-time contractor role with long-term potential
