**What you'll bring**:

- 4+ years of Encounter Design experience, with demonstrable work on at least 1 published title (ideally AAA).
- A portfolio demonstrating high-quality Encounter Design work. This portfolio can be submitted as a link to a portfolio website or added as an attachment along with your CV.
- A flexible, highly motivated and friendly approach to your work.
- Excellent written and verbal communication skills.
