  • Design impactful marketing creatives app-store banners, splash screens, social-media ads, and UA campaign visuals.
  • Collaborate with UA managers to create A / B test-ready creatives optimized for conversion, and work with analytics and production teams to iterate designs based on performance data.
  • Adapt UA art compositions / formats for multiple platforms.
  • Work closely with production, participate in brainstorming, sprint planning, and pipeline reviews.
  • Maintain deadlines, delivering assets in a timely manner.
  • What We’re Looking For

  • BA / BS in Illustration, Graphic Design, Fine Arts, or equivalent.
  • 5+ years as a 2D Concept Artist, ideally in game / art pipeline environments.
  • 2+ years designing UA or promotional game assets (e.g., banners, icons).
  • Exceptional digital painting, strong composition, visual storytelling; proficiency from thumbnails to final art.
  • Strong proficiency in industry-standard art software (e.g., Photoshop, Illustrator, Figma, Maya, Unity).
  • Strong communicator within cross-disciplinary teams.
  • Proactively incorporate feedback, take swift action, and provide timely updates without prompting.
  • Data / marketing-savvy including basic analytics for UA creative insights.
  • Exceptional organizational, multitasking, and time management skills, with a commitment to meeting deadlines and maintaining high-quality standards.
  • Ability to manage a high volume of assets and keep files clean.
  • An enthusiastic attitude, adaptability, and eagerness to collaborate effectively in a dynamic environment.
  • A portfolio demonstrating both concept-art and marketing assets formatted for UA / store use.
  • Demonstrated a growth mindset by staying curious and continuously learning, embracing challenges, and improving themselves.
  • Preferred Qualifications (Nice To Have)

  • Experience with IP and maintaining brand fidelity.
  • Skills in animation for key UA assets.
  • Aid in visual storytelling via storyboards or promo visuals.
  • Experience working in Unreal.
  • The annual base salary range for this position is between $79,000 and $116,000.

  • This range is indicative of projected hiring range, however annual base salary will be determined based on a candidate’s work location, skills and experience.
