Scopely, a leading mobile games publisher and home to MONOPOLY GO! (the biggest mobile game launch in history), is seeking a Lead 2D Artist to join the MONOPOLY GO! game team in Barcelona on a hybrid basis (3 days per week in office).
You will establish and uphold the 2D artistic vision for each season in close partnership with Content Leadership, the Principal Artist, and the Art Director. You will set the bar for quality, technical craft, and AI-assisted workflows, holding both internal and outsourced artists to high standards.
