The Role:

VHS is seeking a Senior UI Game Designer to work alongside a global and talented team of engineers, 3D artists, and UX designers! You are a multifaceted creative, who can perfectly balance conceptual with practical and know when to turn up the volume of either depending on the project.

The right person is a problem solver that loves a challenge, passionate and experienced in the world of design and a big picture thinker.

Key Tasks:

• The ability to turn feedback, conceptual and abstract thinking into design solutions for our customers;

• Develop concepts for gameplay for use throughout the player lifecycle to maximise engagement and retention;
• Quickly prototype design ideas in-game and rapidly iterate via play testing;

• Track insights to continuously improve the efficiency and impact of design components so solutions are simple to follow and understand;

• Able to leverage aftereffects and other motion tools to help communicate interactions and intention of designs you build;
• Work collaboratively with engineers & don’t think of yourself as separate teams;
• Visual design is the focus here but you will have solid UX principles behind you;

• Work with and continue to develop and influence our design system;
• Identify and conduct the highest impact research projects for the design team;
