Partner closely with Product Managers, Producers, Engineers, and company leadership to translate product goals into clear and achievable art plans
Guide Art Leads and cross-functional partners through tradeoffs involving artistic quality, technical performance, scope, and deadlines
Ensure consistent, high-quality art delivery across all games without relying on sustained crunch
