About the role

We are seeking a hands-on Game Director to lead a new team within Envar Games, designed to be small - around 5 people, and swift. The team needs a leader, is that you?

As a Game Director you will establish, own and drive the vision for your game and team, guiding a tight-knit team and aligning around clear direction. Leading a smaller team of around 5 people, you will also be expected to contribute to development, not just lead.

The ideal candidate for this role has shipped a number of games and is experienced in a discipline such as Design, Code or Art. You're a strong leader who also contributes actively to development.

This is an in-house position, as such candidates must be able to work in Stockholm, Sweden.

We want you to feel immediate ownership and trust within your role.

Responsibilities

  • Responsible for the vision and creative framework

  • Leading a tight-knit team

  • Work together with Head of Envar Games to establish clear goals and deliverables

  • Advocate for high-quality deliveries that are aligned with studio goals and values

  • Contribute directly to the development of the game/s you direct

Qualifications

  • 6+ years of experience in the gaming industry having shipped at least two titles, preferably Indie or AA

  • Hands-on experience as a Designer, Programmer or Artist

  • Passion for games developed swiftly and in a smaller team where each team member may wear several hats

  • Knowledge of game industry-standard software tools, design documents, and production processes/best practices

  • Strong time-management skills with the ability to focus on priorities, manage change and deliver against agreed deadlines

  • Proven ability to work under rapid development cycles

  • Strong decision-making capabilities with a demonstrable ability to think outside the box

  • Strong mediation and problem-solving skills

  • Excellent communication and organizational skills in English

Bonus Points

  • Proven experience shipping games with an industry-standard engine such as Unreal or Unity

  • Experience building and leading teams

Why Join Envar?

If you want real ownership, creative freedom, and the chance to shape what comes next, this is it. Small team, big influence, and the backing to turn bold ideas into shipped games. Sound like your kind of challenge? We'd love to hear from you.
