What You'll Do

  • Lead the vision for Battle Pass, Fortnite Crew, and other pass products (e.g., Music Pass and other themed passes).
  • Establish the vision and directly own the outcome of Passes across Fortnite.
  • Collaborate with peers in Game Design, UXUI, Production, Art, QA, Product Management, Data Science, Marketing, and Executive Stakeholders.
  • Be directly responsible for the Pass product design and success, framing vision and goals with an outcomes-driven approach.
  • Guide design efforts for Passes to create a holistic player experience, including unlock systems, progression systems, rewards, and monetization structures.
  • Work with both 1st party and 3rd party experiences, such as Unreal Editor for Fortnite (UEFN), to ensure progression integrity.
  • Monitor and maintain healthy play in Fortnite, including providing direction and mentoring the XP system team.
  • Attend playtests and play the live game to provide feedback and identify practical solutions.

What We're Looking For

  • 7+ years of experience across game design as a senior leader overseeing pass-type engagement systems; subscription experience is a plus.
  • Highly analytical – eager and comfortable monitoring data streams and working with Data Scientists, Analysts, and Product Managers.
  • Strong stakeholder management across various teams.
  • Deep experience with PC / Console, Mobile, F2P, and Live Service Progression & Monetization Systems.
  • An innovator in the space that tracks industry trends and defines new ones, thinking abstractly to define the future of pass design.
  • Demonstrated talent for empathizing with players and a deep understanding of player motivations, forms of play, and the effects of goal setting on play.
  • Interest in progression products in Fortnite, Battle Royale, or other multiplayer games.
