The next great challenge is coming:

As a Narrative Designer, you will shape the story and mission narrative of new missions for an established co-operative first-person shooter. Working from the game's established world, characters, and tone, you will craft the setup, motivation, and in-mission storytelling that give each mission its identity.

You will own the narrative design of the missions in production, writing mission briefings, in-world storytelling, and voiced content while collaborating closely with Level Design, Audio, and the VO Designer. This role demands close, day-to-day collaboration across the team to ensure story and gameplay reinforce one another.

You are expected to operate with a high degree of autonomy and hold your work to an uncompromising standard.

Superpowers you have:

• 6+ years of professional experience in Narrative Design or Game Writing on AA/AAA PC or console titles;
• At least one shipped title with substantial narrative or writing ownership;
• Proven ability to write systemic, non-linear, and replayable game narrative, including barks and reactive dialogue;
• Experience collaborating with Level Design to integrate story into gameplay and environmental storytelling;
• Experience preparing scripts for VO recording and working with voice actors and VO recording partners;
• Strong understanding of writing for co-operative multiplayer experiences.
• Strong documentation skills;
• Excellent written and verbal English;

You're a rockstar if you have:

• Familiarity with heist, crime, or genre-action fiction;
• Experience writing for live-service or episodic content.

Becoming part of Room 8 Group, you will:

• Own the narrative design of new missions, crafting setup, motivation, and in-mission storytelling consistent with the game's established world, characters, and tone;
• Write mission briefings, in-mission dialogue, barks, and in-world storytelling that support both stealth and direct-assault playstyles;
• Partner with Level Design to weave narrative beats into mission flow, objectives, and environmental storytelling;
• Collaborate with the VO Designer and Audio team to script and deliver voiced content, and support VO recording sessions;
• Maintain consistency with the game's established lore, characters, and voice across all new content;
• Adapt writing to a non-linear, replayable structure where players may experience beats in different orders or across multiple playthroughs;
• Maintain detailed narrative documentation, including scripts, character voice guides, and dialogue references.

Join the team of inspiring game dev professionals, and get even more:

• Competitive financial reward (yes, we are fair enough);
• Challenges to raise your XPs score working on the projects of the top global game dev publishers;
• Private medical care, paid time off;
• A culture of diversity and inclusion to unite the most outstanding talents;
• Community of people who understand and share your passion for games.
• Together we will bring games to the next level. Exactly with you.
