About the Position

The next great challenge is coming:

As a Narrative Designer, you will shape the story and mission narrative of new missions for an established co-operative first-person shooter. Working from the game’s established world, characters, and tone, you will craft the setup, motivation, and in-mission storytelling that give each mission its identity.

You will own the narrative design of the missions in production, writing mission briefings, in-world storytelling, and voiced content while collaborating closely with Level Design, Audio, and the VO Designer. This role demands close, day-to-day collaboration across the team to ensure story and gameplay reinforce one another.

You are expected to operate with a high degree of autonomy and hold your work to an uncompromising standard.

• Write mission briefings, in-world dialogue, barks, and voiced content.
• Collaborate with Level Design to integrate story into gameplay and environmental storytelling.
• Partner with the VO Designer and Audio team to script and deliver voiced content.
• Maintain consistency with the game’s established lore, characters, and voice.
• Adapt writing to a non-linear, replayable structure.
• Maintain detailed narrative documentation.

Requirements

• 6+ years of professional experience in Narrative Design or Game Writing on AA/AAA PC or console titles.
• At least one shipped title with substantial narrative or writing ownership.
• Proven ability to write systemic, non-linear, and replayable game narrative, including barks and reactive dialogue.
• Experience collaborating with Level Design to integrate story into gameplay and environmental storytelling.
• Experience preparing scripts for VO recording and working with voice actors and VO recording partners.
• Strong understanding of writing for co-operative multiplayer experiences.
• Strong documentation skills.
• Excellent written and verbal English.

Nice to Have

• Familiarity with heist, crime, or genre-action fiction.
• Experience writing for live-service or episodic content.

We Offer

• Opportunity to work with a leading game development company.
• Collaborative and creative work environment.
• Chance to contribute to high-profile AAA and AA games.
• Remote work options.
