• Maintain organized documentation, story archives, and detailed narrative records
  
  

Requirements

• Experience in story editing, script coverage, narrative design, or publishing/editorial roles
• Strong grasp of character, theme, plot, and structure
• Detail-oriented with an ability to work across multiple concurrent projects
• Excellent written communication and story evaluation skills
  
  

What We Offer

• An international team of over 500 employees spread across 7 studios around the world, each of which have their own unique qualities, and maintain a small-studio feel
• An open, collaborative environment where ideas are welcome and encouraged
• A managerial team consisting of highly experienced game developers at the top of their fields
• Sharing hobbies and passions with like-minded colleagues
