Lead UI Artist

We want you to #JOINTHEREBELLION!  

For 30 years we’ve been independently developing and publishing incredible video games at our multiple studios founded by Jason & Chris Kingsley, but Rebellion is more than just games. We have our own film and mo-cap studio, we create board games, publish books, and through 2000AD, publish comics and graphic novels such as the amazing Judge Dredd. 

We’re looking for a Lead UI Artist to lead a team of UI artists and designers for an unannounced project. This is an exciting opportunity to help shape the project from the very beginning. 

Using your extensive experience in the UI/UX field, you will join a highly collaborative environment, working as part of a multidisciplinary leadership team, to help inspire a team of UI Artists, Technical UI Designers and UX Designers to shape the vision, aesthetic and implementation of the UI for an unannounced title. 

What we need is someone who knows how useful data is in analysing and reacting to user behaviour and feedback but also someone who loves working with other people. We believe that UI is never solved by a single person or a single point of view and that is why we want the best collaborators so that we can work together to make memorable experiences for us and for our players!

We can provide a relocation package, including moving assistance, temporary accommodation, and full support to ensure a smooth transition to your new environment.

• Experience designing UX/UI 

• Experience managing a small team through all phases of the project lifecycle 

• Portfolio showing experience designing high fidelity UI using industry standard tools, e.g., Adobe XD, Illustrator, Sketch, Figma, etc 

• Able to effectively communicate whilst building long-term, trusting relationships with a wide range of people 

• Passionate about video games & games development.  

We offer an extensive benefits package to our team including:
