When you’re a Creative Director at Ubi MTL, you define and communicate the high-level vision that shapes the game we produce.

Responsible for setting the overall creative direction, you foster an environment of collective creativity that inspires teams to come up with the best ideas that they can to support it.

You keep everyone’s efforts channeled towards the same goal, the same common vision. You make sure that every choice made throughout production fits the feel of the game and brings its intended experience to life for players across the globe.

• Around 7 years of leadership experience in the video game industry: you’re a creative leader with a vision for the future of games.
• Exceptional organizational, interpersonal, and presentation skills.
• Effective cross-departmental communication: you have the know-how to comfortably communicate with all disciplines (programming, art, design, marketing, and so on).
