Job description

Emraude creates premium, tailor-made serious games that reinvent corporate learning. We design immersive experiences for leading international companies, including CAC 40 and Fortune 500 businesses, with a strong presence in luxury through brands such as LVMH, CHANEL, Kering...

Our projects are produced entirely in-house, giving our project managers ownership from the initial brief to final delivery. We are looking for a creative, organised Digital Project Manager & Game Designer to turn complex content into engaging learning experiences and lead projects alongside our creative and development teams.

We use AI as an assistant in around 50% of our tasks to improve the quality of our deliverables, explore more creative possibilities and spend less time on repetitive work. Human judgement, creative decisions and responsibility for the final result remain ours.

AI is part of the whole team's daily work. In this role, you will use it to support activities such as analysing source content, developing concepts, structuring scripts, exploring prototypes and organising project information. You will question, check and refine its outputs to meet our clients' learning objectives and brand standards.

This way of working can be surprising if you are used to a more traditional agency. Our methods evolve quickly, and we value people who already use AI regularly, enjoy experimenting and keep learning. If you are not comfortable with AI or do not use it in your day-to-day life, we understand. However, this role is unlikely to be the right fit given how central these tools are to our work.

WHAT YOU WILL DO

• Translate client objectives and learning content into clear creative concepts, stories, game mechanics and interactive experiences.
• Understand each brand's identity and ensure the experience reflects its audience, tone and quality expectations.
• Own projects from brief and concept development through production, testing and delivery.
• Build trusted client relationships, including with senior stakeholders, and present ideas and recommendations clearly.
• Coordinate designers, developers and other creative specialists, with clear briefs, responsibilities and feedback.
• Manage several projects at once, keeping scope, budgets, timelines and priorities under control.
• Review both human-created and AI-assisted work for accuracy, learning value, consistency and execution quality.
• Explore new AI tools and workflows, share useful discoveries and help the team improve how it works.

WHAT WE ARE LOOKING FOR

• At least 2 years of experience managing digital projects, ideally in a digital or creative agency, interactive learning or a related environment.
• Experience taking projects from concept to delivery and managing multiple priorities.
• Strong creative thinking, storytelling and writing skills, with an interest in game design and learning.
• The ability to absorb complex information quickly and turn it into clear, engaging experiences.
• Confidence working with clients and collaborating with creative and technical teams.
• Excellent written and spoken English, including the ability to present concepts and manage client discussions.
• Regular, hands-on use of AI tools, with the ability to explain how you use them and evaluate their results.
• Curiosity, initiative, attention to detail and a practical approach to solving problems.
• A background in business, project management, marketing, communication or a related field, or relevant professional experience.

NICE TO HAVE

• Experience in serious games, e-learning, gamification or the luxury sector.
• Familiarity with Figma, Illustrator, Blender, After Effects or similar creative tools.
• An understanding of web production and learning technologies such as LMS, SCORM, APIs, SSO and reporting dashboards.
• French language skills for collaboration with French-speaking teams and clients.

WHY JOIN US

Work on bespoke experiences for demanding international brands, collaborate directly with an in-house creative and development team, and develop your skills across project management, game design and AI-assisted production. You will have the opportunity to shape both the experiences we create and the way we create them.

OUR RECRUITMENT PROCESS

We start with a few short written questions about your experience and everyday use of AI. These are introductory questions, not a case study. Selected candidates then meet our CEO or COO, complete a practical case study, discuss their approach with us and have a final conversation about the role and working arrangements.
