• Identifying where Ai assisted workflows create meaningful production value, establishing standards for quality and consistency, and turning successful experimentation into repeatable practices the wider team can adopt
• Own and continuously improve the 3D pipeline's standards and guideline documentation, partnering with Technical Art on implementation
• Manage and mentor the discipline, owning performance reviews, goal-setting, and team health
• Take part in hiring to make sure new hires are the right fit, and champion the team's culture
• Be the primary point of contact and voice for 3D, coordinating the discipline's work with the rest of production, from planning through delivery

• 8+ years experience as a 3D artist working in games, including 3+ years leading, mentoring, and setting the artistic bar for a team
• Demonstrated experience developing, scaling, and driving adoption of AI-assisted creative workflows, with the judgment to evaluate their impact on quality, consistency, efficiency, and downstream production
• Track record shipping multiple mobile titles in casual/whimsical art styles, partnering across Design, Engineering, and outsourcing to deliver high-quality content
• Experience designing, standardizing, or automating 3D production pipelines, including AI/ML-driven tooling, backed by expert proficiency across the toolset (Maya/Blender/3ds Max, Substance, Unity)
