  • Strong hands‑on background in graphic design and visual communication
  • Experience collaborating closely with multi‑disciplinary teams

Skills

  • Proficiency in Figma or Sketch and Photoshop
  • Proficiency with Flash/Animate
  • Strong understanding of user‑centric design principles
  • Excellent communication skills and ability to convey design intent clearly
  • Proactive, self‑driven and highly collaborative team player

Nice to have

  • Passion for mobile games and game development
  • Additional artistic, animation or prototyping skills

Working style / behaviours

  • Player‑focused, detail‑oriented and committed to delivering polished experiences
  • Able to take ownership of features from concept to final implementation
  • Enjoys contributing to a cohesive team culture and supporting colleagues

Why join

  • Collaborate with a passionate, creative game team
  • Opportunity to shape the UI/UX identity of a new title
  • Supportive and cross‑disciplinary environment
  • Professional growth, ownership and influence in visual design direction

Joe McKernan

Associate Director of Games and Interactive

Our Associate Director, Joe, joins Giles in heading up our Games and Interactive division, his passion springing from being blown away by the effects in Star Wars at a young age. His love hasn’t wavered and Joe always seems to bring out a new Star Wars t shirt every dress down we have! We are lucky to have him considering that he once got stuck half way up a mountain in Borneo so now he goes for flatter holidays – most recently driving across America in a Mustang.
