Our mission is to create unforgettable, high-quality experiences that honor the spirit of our games while opening up new ways for audiences to connect with the worlds and characters they love.

About the Role

We're looking for an Art Director to join FranchiseDevelopment, a small, high-impact team within Entertainment that shapes how our franchises show up across major touchpoints, from animation and live action to consumer products, partnerships, live events, in-game integrations, and brand campaigns. This role is for someone who thrives on variety, moves seamlessly between disciplines, and brings an uncompromising eye for craft to every execution.

You'll partner closely with Franchise Creatives, marketers, and producers to help define and evolve the visual DNA of our franchises while pushing them into fresh, culturally relevant territory. Whether concepting a collaboration with a global brand, art directing assets for film and television projects, or developing style guides for licensing partners, you'll play a central role in ensuring that everything we put into the world feels authentic, cohesive, and unmistakably true to the franchise.

What You'll Be Doing

• Drive Visual Direction Across Media – Drive the look, feel, and creative consistency of the franchise projects across animation, live action, print, digital, experiential, in-game, and consumer products.
• Collaborate with Creative Partners – Work hand-in-hand with writers, producers, designers, game teams, licensing, and marketing to ensure the visual execution amplifies the strategic and storytelling goals.
• Develop and Maintain Brand Systems – Help refine and evolve our visual frameworks, toolkits, and style guides so they work across multiple categories while staying true to Franchise personality and tone.
• Art Direct High-Profile Collaborations – From fashion brands to global entertainment partners, guide external creatives and agencies to deliver work that is both on-brand and culturally relevant.
• Champion Craft and Consistency – Set and uphold a high creative standard across all outputs, giving clear, constructive feedback that elevates the work.
• Push Creative Boundaries – Explore new mediums, styles, and approaches that surprise our audience while staying rooted in the franchise's creative DNA.

What You Have

• Proven experience as an Art Director or Senior Designer working across multiple media formats, preferably with entertainment, marketing, gaming, or consumer brand experience.
• Strong portfolio demonstrating a range of visual styles and the ability to adapt creatively while maintaining brand coherence.
• Expertise in visual storytelling, character-driven worlds, and translating narrative into striking design.
• Ability to guide both in-house and external creative teams through clear feedback and inspiring direction.
• Hungry for learning new skills and fluent in moving between tools and formats: from 3D to AI to 2D, whatever the task requires to duct‑tape a solution together without compromising quality.
• Thrives in a fast-moving, iterative environment with projects ranging from small tactical executions to large‑scale franchise‑defining campaigns.
• Deep appreciation for both high craft and cultural resonance: you know how to make work that stands out and sticks.
• Big bonus: Familiarity with Supercell Franchises such as Clash and Brawl.
