Scopely is looking for a Senior Narrative Designer to join our unannounced project in Barcelona on a hybrid basis working 3 days a week from our hub. We can support with visa sponsorship and relocation assistance.

At Scopely, we care deeply about what we do and want to inspire play, every day - whether in our work environments alongside our talented colleagues, or through our deep connections with our communities of players.

We are in the early stages of development on an ambitious, unannounced, cross-platform Strategy/MMO title, creating a team of talented and passionate game makers to join us on this exciting journey. This could be your opportunity to make a lasting impact on one of our next big releases.

What You Will Do

As a storytelling specialist, you will be creating with the narrative team an epic serialized journey that immerses the player in the world of a globally recognized IP and offers agency to customize the story in a meaningful way through branching narrative design. As a teammate, you will bring to our writers’ room your professional integrity, inventive ideas, and IP expertise. As an individual, you will autonomously deliver best-in-class narratives across outlines, scripts, and features.

• Write emotionally rich scripts featuring authentic dialogue for an expansive cast of IP and original characters
• Collaborate within and across departments, proactively communicating and applying feedback efficiently and effectively
• Assume senior-level responsibility in the development of narrative features and events
• Assist in the training and mentorship of more junior designers as the team grows

What We’re Looking For

• Considerable experience in serialized storytelling for multi-year game and/or TV projects
• Excellent RPG storytelling, writing, and branching narrative design skills
• Expansive IP knowledge* and enthusiasm for working within the boundaries of an IP
• Solid understanding of F2P game development pipelines and monetization strategies
• Outstanding organizational agility, task management, and communication skills
• High degree of professional integrity and discretion

Bonus Points

• A passion and predilection for team writing
• Ambition to progress on either a managerial or IC track as the project scales
• Avid player of games, especially Narrative RPG and 4X Strategy

*Qualified candidates will be asked to sign an NDA and complete a project-specific narrative assessment.
