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;

- 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;
