We are looking for an Art Producer to join us on the Fortnite Art team.

• Be a flexible multitasker - Handle multiple large production needs within your development pod(s). Understand how to identify and break down prioritizations, and keep up strong communication across multiple outlets: email, Slack, meetings, and documentation.

• Deep understanding of game development and project management practices.
• Strong organizational skills and attention to detail.
• Experience in an environment where you had to exhibit amazing problem-solving skills daily, viewing each new problem as an opportunity for success.
• Self-starter who approaches challenges creatively and methodically, seeing them through to final resolution.
• The ability to communicate with varying levels of stakeholders within your team and throughout the company.
• Ability to drive high velocity, high impact development cycles while balancing out short-term needs and long-term vision.
• Ability to adapt and be effective in ambiguous situations within a highly dynamic environment.
• You’re passionate, solutions-focused, and innovative. These traits equal success at Epic and influence everything we do.
