    Job Description

    The Art Team Lead functions as an internal project manager and subject matter expert, working closely with the Art Director to review tasks, support decisions concerning timelines and prioritization, and disseminate them within the team and supporting third parties. The owner of this role ensures that activities undertaken by the team are aligned with project specifications and completed to schedule.

    A working leader, the Art Team Lead will also be called upon to support asset creation, level design and development, optimization efforts and other relevant art-related duties. As team management and mentorship is a shared responsibility with the Director, the Lead will have ample opportunity to work and be hands on as an art generalist.

    What to Expect

    • Work closely with the Art Director to strategize, triage and manage art tasks within proscribed project timelines, providing guidance and coaching to team members where appropriate.
    • Provide clear communication and direction to the members of the Komi art team, as well as any outsourced third party support services working with the art team.
    • Build, decorate and polish visually exciting environments that support defined gameplay goals.
    • Create custom assets, materials, and props; and assist with level lighting tasks.
    • Update project planning documentation (e.g., forecasting, resource allocation) and communicate with other Komi teams to ensure estimates are aligned with broader milestones and deliverables.
    • Collaborate and communicate closely with other functional team leads to ensure assets are effectively integrated and optimized.
    • Anticipate, identify, and resolve challenges to project and task completion proactively, raising with the Art Director and relevant stakeholders for support where required.
    • Support the Art Director with mentoring team members, offering feedback and technical support.
    • Performing and participating in other role relevant duties, projects and ad hoc tasks as required.

    • A minimum of five (5) years of game development experience building, lighting, and optimizing levels.
    • Highly skilled and experienced at building levels in Unreal Engine (using modular kits as well as custom-made assets). Proficiency and considerable experience working in UE is a must.
    • Highly skilled and experienced at creating 3D assets using relevant software tools (e.g., 3DSMax/Maya/Blender, Photoshop, Zbrush, Substance).
    • The ability to design levels from scratch is considered an asset.

    Core Competencies
