What drives us forward? A shared sense of purpose. Together we are working on creating something meaningful - pure fulfillment for your career!
This is what we need you for
Key Responsibilities
- People Development: Act as a coach and mentor. You’ll conduct 1:1s, set performance goals, and chart career paths for designers ranging from Junior to Senior levels.
- Creative Resourcing: Manage the "board state" of our workflow. You’ll allocate designers to specific sets and expansions, ensuring no one is over-inked and that every project has the right mix of talent.
- Culture of Feedback: Facilitate design reviews and playtests that are constructive, inclusive, and rigorous. You’ll help designers separate their egos from their mechanics to reach the best possible version of the game.
- Cross-Functional Bridge: Serve as the primary liaison between Design and other departments (Art, Play & Events, Production). You translate "designer-speak" into "business-speak" and vice-versa.
- Lay the Groundwork: Collaborate with Game and Play Design managers to innovate the process to improve and refine our workflow.
This is what you can score highly with
- Leadership Experience: 5+ years of managing creative teams.
- Love What You Do: Know TCGs inside and out. What makes them tick or tock, and where sprinkling pixie dust would get the best value.
- The Disney Spark: A deep appreciation for Disney storytelling. You understand how to translate a character's "soul" into a game mechanic.
- Emotional Intelligence: High EQ. You can read the room, handle "tapped out" employees with empathy, and keep morale high during design cycles.
- Communication: Exceptional verbal and written skills. You can deliver tough feedback compassionately and pitch big ideas boldly.
- Data Drives you: You understand that while data informs the floor of a game's balance, "fun" creates the ceiling. You know how to use data to validate creative risks rather than using it to stifle them.
