    Description

    Skillsearch is helping a gaming studio find a Lead Game Designer to drive the overall game design and direction for the product. This full-time role is based in London and comes with a generous salary and benefits package.

    As a Lead Game Designer, you will have responsibility for gameplay-oriented features, as well as progression, retention and monetisation features. You will collaborate with the Leads of Engineering, Art and Production to make a logical and enjoyable game experience.

    In your first few weeks in this Lead Game Designer role, you can expect to:

    • Deliver the game design documentation, including mapping out new features, refining existing proposals and communicating design intentions to the wider company
    • Assist in defining the company's overall games strategy
    • Work within a scrum process in a cross-functional team to get your designs implemented
    • Develop designs with the target customer - the 8 to12-year-old kid - in mind at all times.

    To apply for this Lead Game Designer role, you will need previous experience as a Lead Game Design, ideally, but not necessarily in children's games. You will also require the following:

    • Experience working with subscription and free to play games
    • Proficiency in unity, miro (or similar) excel and confluence
    • Experience with scripting or programming languages
    • Previous experience in action adventure, open world or 3D platformers.

    You'll receive an excellent salary and benefits package for your knowledge, expertise and flexibility.

    If this full-time Lead Game Designer job in London motivates and inspires you, please contact Hassan from Skillsearch today at We'd love to help you get your next role.

    This studio is taking the education sector by storm and making learning fun at school and at home by creating books, games, and apps to improve the reading and writing skills of kids. By joining the team you will be making a huge impact on the future education of millions of children, joined by a diverse and creative team, whilst enjoying some great perks which come alongside the role

    A little bit about the city: London

    As the English capital, London is known to be a city full of opportunities. From cultures, foods, activities and greenspace, everything is at your doorstep in this city and there is something for everyone to enjoy. London Fashion Week, Michelin-star restaurants and festivals are just a few of the many delights London has to offer those looking for a taste of the city. London is, of course, famous for its extensive history, culture and attractions. Many of London's museums and galleries are free to enter, meaning, especially as a newcomer to London, you are easily able to absorb the knowledge and arts the city has to offer.

    Fortunately for the many commuters, public transport is one thing the city can be really proud of. London is well-known for its widespread underground system, boasting 11 lines stretching 402km in total. Additionally, the Night Tube, a 24-hour service, is available on Fridays and Saturdays, making getting home after an evening exploring or catching up with friends a breeze. Aside from the Tube, London offers buses, river buses, black cabs, 'Boris Bikes' and trams, so getting around the city should never be a problem

    A little bit about the city: Copenhagen

    With Denmark consistently being ranked as one of the happiest countries in the world, it's no surprise that its capital has a lot going for it. Copenhagen offers excellent working conditions, world-class healthcare, beautiful surrounding scenery and a fantastic quality of life, as well as being seen as one of the safest major cities out there. The government has the best interest of residents at heart, which makes for well looked after, happy, friendly people Having been named as the top nation when it comes to work-life balance, Denmark is a wonderful place to live if you're after a modern, thriving and friendly city.
