• Expert-level stakeholder management; you can nudge strong, divergent opinions toward a shared outcome while remaining firm on the "world-class" bar.
• Experience navigating the nuances of international IP, specifically in balancing western design sensibilities with the needs of a global, multi-cultural player base.
• A deep understanding of the constraints of mobile platforms and the ability to find the "creative throughline" between technical capabilities and aesthetic output.

Desired Qualifications:

• Genre affinity for games in the mobile free-to-play space, especially MOBAs.
• Fluency in English.
