You thrive in a creative environment where people around you love their jobs and the games we make.
An interest in Paradox Grand Strategy Games is a great advantage, though we are mainly open to applicants with a couple of years of games industry experience.

Engaging in research on related topics to find inspiration for crafting entertaining content that creates memorable gaming experiences.
Defining audiovisual asset needs and communicating them to the producer and art and audio departments.

Actively collaborating with the people around you is key to this role.
