# Directeur·rice du design / Design Director at 2K

Gearbox Studio Québec, part of 2K, is seeking an experienced Design Director to lead gameplay vision and direction for their upcoming projects. This role bridges creative strategy with hands-on implementation, requiring you to partner closely with the creative director to establish gameplay pillars while collaborating with game designers, technical leads, and other department heads to refine core systems including character progression, combat mechanics, AI, and environmental interactions. You'll communicate design direction across the entire team, set quality standards, and actively contribute to development directly within the game engine.

The ideal candidate brings at least 15 years of game design experience and has shipped multiple multiplatform titles from pre-production through certification, with several in leadership roles. Deep expertise in action games—particularly shooters—is essential, along with hands-on proficiency in Unreal Engine 4 or 5. Beyond technical knowledge, you're a servant leader who removes production obstacles, empowers senior designers through trust and autonomy, and maintains a collaborative rather than top-down management style while continuing to own specific design tasks yourself.

Based in Montreal or Quebec City, this position requires full bilingual fluency in French and English. Gearbox is committed to building an inclusive, equitable workplace and welcomes accommodation requests throughout the hiring process.

Location: Canada; Montréal, Quebec, Canada; Quebec, Canada
