The Company is seeking a visionary Animation Director with a proven track record in the game development industry, particularly in the realm of high-fidelity action-adventure games. The successful candidate will be responsible for leading and inspiring a team of animators, defining and driving the animation vision in collaboration with the Creative and Art Directors, and ensuring the delivery of top-tier, AAA quality animations that directly impact the gameplay experience. This role demands a strategic leader who can also make hands-on contributions, manage and develop a team, and oversee the full animation pipeline from concept to implementation. The Animation Director will also be involved in motion capture shoots, managing external vendors, and must have a strong background in gameplay systems, including combat and traversal animations. Applicants for the Animation Director position at the company must have extensive experience in a leadership role within animation, a deep understanding of gameplay systems, and proficiency in animation tools and technologies. The role requires a collaborative mindset, the ability to work closely with design and engineering teams, and a portfolio that demonstrates a high level of expertise in realistic animations. Experience with motion capture pipelines, Maya, and real-time game engines is essential.
