Own and operate the live ops content pipeline end-to-end. Planning, briefing, production tracking, reviews, integration coordination, and release readiness.
Steward and elevate VRChat’s creative strategy for live ops content, upholding a high bar while evolving the system with the team over time (style continuity, quality, and cohesion).
Partner with the Director of Design and Art Team Manager to align on creative direction, review norms, and quality standards, so the team has clear principles and consistent decision-making.
**Lead and support our internal art team **with a collaborative, feedback-forward culture: clear goals, strong critique habits, and an emphasis on sustainable output.
Run external studio collaboration in a way that feels like an extension of the team: strong briefs, fast and respectful feedback loops, clear acceptance criteria, and healthy relationships across partners.
Translate creative goals into shippable reality by working closely with engineering on performance constraints, asset requirements, and integration needs.
Reduce rework and increase throughput by improving docs, templates, review checklists, and lightweight processes.
Make tradeoffs visible, keep stakeholders aligned, and drive clarity to enable our creative teams to do their best work.

You have 8+ years in game development or real-time content production, with meaningful experience shipping ongoing content (live ops, events, seasonal drops, or frequent updates).
You’ve operated in environments where success depends on collaboration and influence, not top-down hierarchy. Bring in structure, alignment, and momentum without steamrolling teams.
You have strong experience working with external studios & vendors, and you know how to get great results through clear briefs, thoughtful feedback, and reliable delivery.
You bring excellent creative judgment, but you don’t rely on taste alone. You build systems that help teams make good decisions repeatedly.
You’re comfortable partnering with engineering and production to ensure assets are performant and shippable, and you can translate constraints into guidance the team can actually use.
You’re low-ego and high-agency. You listen, align, communicate clearly, and drive execution.
