About the job

Frontier is an independent video game developer and publisher, crafting immersive gaming experiences with fun gameplay and unparalleled artistic quality. Renowned for its iconic creative management simulation games, Frontier captivates players worldwide with immersive and authentic game worlds. The modern studio is located in the vibrant technology hub of Cambridge (UK). The talented team at Frontier are dedicated to nurturing our existing portfolio and delivering our exciting future roadmap. 

This role can be on a hybrid working basis, which means you’ll have the opportunity to spend time working both in the studio and at home. We can provide a comprehensive relocation support package as part of any offer, should you need to relocate.  

WHAT’S THE ROLE
As a Senior Concept Artist, you’ll work closely with the Lead Artist and Art Directors to help develop an artistic vision for Frontier’s games. You’ll also mentor, manage, and guide other concept artists to bring that vision to life through concept art production. 

WHAT YOU’LL BE DOING

    • Support the Art Director and Concept Lead in developing the look and feel of Frontier’s game worlds.
    • Work together with Producers, other Leads and Directors to improve the quality of the project.
    • Generate key concepts and set benchmarks.
    • Mentor, manage and support a team of Concept Artists.
    • Prepare concept briefs for external contractors and outsource.
    • Provide feedback to the artists.
    • Ensure deliverables are completed on-time and to the right quality.
    • Quickly generate loose and evocative mood pieces or sketches, and production ready concepts, clearly describing the new assets to the art team tasked with authoring the final in-game models.

WHAT YOU’LL BRING

    • Organised problem solving, and always striving for the best quality from you and your team.
    • Experienced in building trust and leading a team, mentoring and providing feedback to other artists.
    • Demonstrable experience producing concept art on several shipped game titles.
    • Great draftmanship and proven observational skills, understanding of anatomy, proportion, scale, perspective, lighting, and colour theory.
    • Natural desire to create fantastic player experiences and how your own concepts can help achieve that goal.
    • Mastery of Photoshop and digital painting techniques.
    • Ability to give, take and learn from constructive criticism as well as collaborate on ideas while displaying openness to the requirements of the project.
WHAT WE CAN OFFER YOU
You will work with talented and passionate people to support, develop or publish our sophisticated and enduring games, in a creative, collaborative and inclusive environment. We love what we do, and we work hard to provide outstanding experiences for our players. 
 
Wellbeing is a big focus at Frontier, and we are continually evolving how we can support our people. We encourage a healthy work/life balance and provide a range of wellbeing activities, initiatives and sessions to support both mental and physical health.  
 
We offer a competitive salary and benefits package, which includes a success-based annual bonus, share option schemes, life assurance, private family healthcare, flexitime working hours, enhanced maternity/paternity leave, in-house subsidised catering, support with relocation, a Cycle to Work scheme, free bike servicing, and social activities and events. 
 
We strive to create an environment where everyone can fully demonstrate their capability and potential. If you therefore need any reasonable adjustments to support you during the recruitment process, please speak to your Talent Acquisition representative.
