Game Director — Rainbow Six Siege

Position description

As a Game Director on Rainbow Six Siege, you will turn a creative vision into a variety of systems and mechanics that combine to create a captivating game experience. You will convey high-level direction to your team so they can design the gameplay features they own, while giving them the flexibility to experiment and iterate.

While the design team focuses on their specialties, you will look after the big picture: progression, pacing, balance and, of course, the quality of the game. You will ensure that all design-related elements work together coherently to match the intended experience and that it is fun.

What you will do:

• Work with creative leadership and members of the leadership team to define the game and unify your visions;
• Develop your game design vision and communicate (and evangelize) it across production;
• Support your game designers in feature development (e.g., game mechanics, progression systems, combat systems, weapon attributes, AI behaviors, 3C, etc.) and provide mentorship and constructive feedback to reach quality;
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams to ensure cohesion of all conceptual, technical, art and narrative elements;
• Evaluate and discuss budgets and timelines with the producer and keep the editorial team informed of progress and milestones;
• Adapt to technical and production constraints, feedback and playtest results by readjusting your design direction as needed;
• Track features post-launch to improve, add or remove elements and interpret data to inform decision-making;
• Occasionally travel locally and internationally to present the game, meet external partners, visit co-development studios, etc.;
• Anticipate technological advances and stay informed of market trends to evolve our production processes and define best practices, then share them across our studios.

Qualifications

• About 7 years of experience in game design or other relevant experience + 3 years of leadership;
• Experience on competitive live shooter games;
• Deep knowledge of game engines (e.g., Unity or Unreal) and their limitations, Photoshop and the Office suite (notably Excel and PowerPoint);
• A degree in game design or equivalent;
• An innovative, empathetic, creative and collaborative mindset;
• Excellent communication, interpersonal, presentation, problem-solving, organizational and mentoring skills;
• Critical thinking, curiosity, resourcefulness and high flexibility;
• Ability to examine data and draw meaningful conclusions;
• Knowledge of online gaming communities and live streaming platforms (e.g., Twitch);
• Broad understanding of the market and a strong passion for video games.

What to send us:

• Your CV highlighting your education, experience, skills and, if applicable, games shipped.
