The Role



We’re looking for a creative powerhouse who can both set the vision and get their hands dirty making stunning art. As our Art Manager, you’ll shape the look and feel of our games, lead a small but growing team, and drive production through world-class external artists and studios.

What You’ll Do

* Lead the Look & Feel – Define the artistic style, set quality standards, and ensure everything we ship looks world-class.
* Hands-On Creation – From concept art to UI, characters, and animation you’ll produce assets yourself alongside directing others.
* Drive External Production – Source, brief, and manage freelance artists and outsource studios, keeping them aligned on quality, style, and deadlines.
* Mentor & Grow the Team – Inspire a small internal art crew today and help build and expand it tomorrow.
* Collaborate Across Disciplines – Work together with designers, developers, and producers to deliver cohesive, engaging game experiences.
* Push Innovation – Contribute fresh ideas, stay on top of art and gaming trends, and experiment with new tools and workflows.



What You Bring

* 3+ years in a Senior Art Management role within gaming, mobile, or interactive entertainment.
* A portfolio that shows range, creativity, and polish across styles and platforms.
* Experience working with both internal teams and external vendors.
* Proven ability to multi-task across projects without sacrificing quality.
* Strong communicator, motivator, and collaborator.
* At least one published title (casual, mobile, social, or similar).
* Genuine passion for games and visual storytelling.



Technical Skills

* Adobe Creative Suite (Photoshop, Illustrator, After Effects) and some understanding of 2D animation tools (e.g., Spine).
* Strong understanding of composition, layout, and colour.
* Ability to design clean, intuitive UI/UX for mobile and web.
* Knowledge of 2D/3D pipelines, asset optimization, and multi-platform production.
* AI-savvy mindset – ability and willingness to adopt AI as a companion tool to speed workflows, spark creativity, and support production.
* Bonus: experience with 3D tools and/or web-based game technologies.



Nice to Have



Background or interest in iGaming / real-money gaming (slots, casino, instant win).

Experience with 2D animation and/or 3D design software.



Why Join Us?

* Direct influence on the visual identity of multiple games.
* The chance to create AND lead—a rare hybrid role.
* Work with talented internal and external teams, scaling as the studio grows.
* Flexible hybrid setup with creative freedom and ownership.
* An environment that values innovation, bold ideas, and quality execution.

This is an opportunity to shape games that stand out, create amazing art yourself, and lead a growing team with global reach.
