We have a history of creating revolutionary games such as LittleBigPlanet, Tearaway and most recently, the BAFTA Award winning Dreams. It’s a fantastic time to join us as we embark on our next adventure, defining and executing the vision for our next ambitious project and settling into our spectacular, newly refurbished studio in central Guildford. We are now searching for a talented Principal UI/UX Designer to join us on a 12-month contract.

  • Generating and collating assets necessary to complete the UI to shipping standard.
  • Using your experience to augment and build the skills and capabilities of the existing UI/UX team.

Requirements

  • Significant experience in creating UI/UX within the games industry.
  • Expertise with UI/UX design tools, for wireframing and interactive prototyping, including Figma and other general design tools, such as Adobe Illustrator and Photoshop.
  • Comfortable working with strong-minded, creative and collaborative teams.
  • Excellent creative problem-solving skills – creating simple solutions to complex problems.
  • Previous experience mentoring, upskilling and inspiring design team members to excellence.
  • Exceptional communicator, with strong presentation skills and the ability to convey a strong vision or idea to non-art stakeholders.
  • You have a solid grasp of visual design and user interface design principles.
  • You are highly self-motivated and directed.

Plusses

  • We really want to hear from you if:
  • You have prior experience championing user experience design in a small UX team.
  • You can work with After Effects and have experience with motion graphics.
  • You have experience working with the Noesis GUI middleware.
  • Solid 2D Art skills preferred but not essential.
