Marathon Player Achievement Design Lead

Bungie is seeking a technical, creative, and team-oriented Design Lead to join the Marathon’s Player Achievement team. The Player Achievement team’s mission is to create systems and support feature development that deepens and extends player engagement, providing players with a strong sense of narrative fantasy for the Marathon universe and driving aspirational motivations.

You will drive design alignment and collaboration across creative disciplines, ensuring a holistic experience for player engagement features in relation to progression, economy, narrative, and core gameplay. You will lead a small team to deliver those systems, unblocking and empowering all members of the team and leading collaboration with partner teams.

RESPONSIBILITIES

• Build a compelling Systems Feature roadmap for Player Achievement that details a clear relationship with all areas of design
• Drive, coordinate, empower, and unblock Systems teams
• Ensure the design team's work is achievable by guiding them to appropriately adjust scope based on technical realities
