What are the responsibilities and job description for the Art Director - RPG position at Homa?

Homa is a global mobile game developer and publisher creating games people love. We partner with studios and internally develop games, having launched over 80 titles, reached over 2 billion downloads, and seen our game All in Hole break into the global top-50 grossing charts. These are milestones, not the finish line.

With deep expertise in product and technology, we built Homa Lab, our proprietary platform that gives developers the market intelligence, data tools, and game tech, with AI built-in, to find product–market fit fast and scale mass-market games into lasting experiences players enjoy for years.

This is our flywheel: Homa Lab helps studios spot the right ideas early, turn them into games quickly, and reach millions of players. Every launch brings back data and insights that fuel the next hit, making each turn of the loop faster, smarter, and more likely to win. AI supercharges this process, running through everything we do, from everyday tasks to our guiding principles.

What powers the loop is talent density. 220 people from 30 nationalities, bringing expertise from the world’s best studios and companies. We uphold ambition, curiosity, humility, and focus, and deliver with speed, excellence, and candor.

Since the start, we’ve raised $165M from Headline, Northzone, Eurazeo, Bpifrance, and the founders of King, Sorare, and Spotify, people who’ve built and backed the games and platforms we admire, now supporting our drive to create the next ones.

At Homa, we are building the next billion-player experiences from the ground up and shaping the future of entertainment.

Mission

Responsibilities

As an Art Director, you’ll play a key role in driving the game’s artistic vision, strategy, and execution. You will report directly to the GM and partner closely with the DoP, Design Director, and Head of Art, Homa to ensure a consistent, world-class aesthetic is applied across all assets, marketing, and brand touchpoints, and contribute to shaping how Homa grows from here. Your main responsibilities will include:

Vision and Strategy

  • Define, champion, and govern the game's artistic vision.
  • Collaborate with leadership to ensure a consistent, world-class aesthetic across all touchpoints.
  • Create and maintain a comprehensive Art Style Guide to empower internal and external teams.
  • Stay ahead of emerging AI trends to push the game's visual quality and ensure it stands out in the market.

Leadership and Team Development

  • Recruit, lead, and mentor a multi-disciplinary art team, fostering a culture of creative excellence.
  • Develop and manage the art pipeline in partnership with Production to deliver high-quality, optimized assets on time and budget.
  • Oversee and direct external art studios and freelancers, providing clear, actionable feedback.
  • Act as a force multiplier by creating a scalable direction that enables a large volume of high-quality, consistent content.

Execution and Collaboration

  • Collaborate daily with Design, Product, and Narrative leadership to ensure art supports gameplay and enhances player experience.
  • Lead visual problem-solving, balancing artistic ambition with technical and gameplay constraints.
  • Work with Marketing and UA teams to provide input on high-performance ad creatives that are authentic to the game.

This is a great opportunity to own the artistic scope of a flagship title, mentor and scale a top-performing art team, and leave a lasting mark on a high-visibility game in Homa’s portfolio.

Requirements

We are looking for someone with proven expertise in game art leadership and creative direction – and the curiosity, ambition, and drive to make an impact fast. You’re a great fit if you have:

  • 10 years of game art experience, with 5 years in a senior leadership role (Art Lead/Director) on a shipped AAA title.
  • A world-class portfolio demonstrating mastery of stylized fantasy worlds, memorable character design, and establishing a unique visual identity.
  • Proven experience building and leading art teams, and managing large-scale external development/outsourcing pipelines.
  • Deep expertise in modern 2D/3D art pipelines, tools (Unity preferred), and mobile performance optimization.
  • Exceptional ability to articulate creative concepts and provide clear, constructive, and inspiring feedback.
  • A proactive mindset and love for iteration – always seeking ways to balance vision with execution at scale.

Bonus

  • Experience with live-service mobile ARPG, RPG, or Hero Collector games.
  • Passion for mythology and fantasy, with an eye for reinterpreting classic themes.
  • Experience collaborating with Marketing/UA teams on high-performance creative.
  • Strong understanding of F2P visual design, including how UI/UX, visual progression, and VFX can support retention and monetization.

Even if you don’t check every box in our requirements, we encourage you to apply. We value diverse perspectives and backgrounds, and we’re more interested in your potential and passion than a perfect match to our checklist.

Our Culture

At Homa, We Prioritise Talent, Energy, And Determination Over Traditional Credentials. We’re Building a Global Community Of Brilliant, Driven People Who Think Boldly, Act With Pragmatism, Move Fast, And Push Boundaries.

  • Curiosity: We continuously seek the “why” behind the “what” - we explore with purpose and practicality.
  • Focus: Our curiosity takes us deeper, not wider - we obsess over the details and let pragmatism guide our attention.

Benefits

  • Comprehensive Benefits: Depending on your location, you’ll enjoy a range of perks such as insurance, meal vouchers, public transport, gym memberships, and more.
  • Paris HQ Access: Enjoy a desk at our private office in a well-located WeWork building that will give you access to WeWork perks like rooftop view and designed coworking spaces.

  • Equipment Support: From day one, we’ll provide everything you need to do your best work, including a home office setup allowance if you're working remotely.

Whether you’re working from a sunny WeWork in Barcelona or your home setup in Warsaw, you’re fully part of our culture. To keep collaboration smooth, we primarily hire within European time zones (UTC to UTC 3). If you're based there - or planning to be - we’d love to hear from you!

Please note: this is one remote position open to multiple countries, not multiple openings.
