Description
LEGO Digital Play will bring the LEGO brand into digital entertainment in new, innovative, and wholly-owned ways. Our mission is to ensure the LEGO Brand remains as powerfully a part of children’s lives in the coming decades as it has ever been. We aim to reach every kid on the planet, their parents, and adult fans of LEGO—and provide them with meaningful, magical, and playful new experiences.
We are at the earliest phases of this new company, offering a unique opportunity to build a new entity for the world's most beloved and trusted brand. Our culture is open, collaborative, intellectually rigorous, and creatively vibrant.
We are looking for a Senior Art Director to join our leadership team and help shape it from the very beginning.
This is a rare opportunity to define a visual identity from day one, working alongside a team that believes great creative work comes from great collaboration - and that the best ideas often start with play. This role is multi-faceted; you will set the artistic direction, build and grow the art organisation, establish processes and pipelines, and help shape our creative culture. The right person brings deep experience, an informed perspective, and the generosity to elevate everyone around them.
As the Senior Art Director, you’ll sit at the intersection of UGC and game art - two distinct creative mentalities that this person needs to hold simultaneously. You will champion a philosophy where user reach matters more than render fidelity, and where accessibility and creative empowerment are as important as visual ambition. You will partner and collaborate closely with leads across multiple disciplines, building strong, trusting relationships as the foundation for great work. If you are energised by building something meaningful alongside creative people who care deeply about their work, we would love to hear from you.
