Clash of Clans is one of the most recognisable games ever made. We want to keep it that way, and then some.

Clash is growing beyond the game, showing up in trailers, campaigns, toys, and collaborations. The visual identity has to stretch to cover all of it, stay true to what players love, and still feel fresh. We're also modernising how we make things: pipelines are evolving, our content production is scaling, and we're working more closely with external partners than ever before.

We need someone who can own this at a strategic level. Someone who sets the vision, builds the conditions for great work, and steers the IP with confidence across every surface it touches.

What You'll Be Doing

• Define and evolve the visual direction of Clash across the game, cosmetics, and wherever else the IP lives. True to its DNA, but never frozen in time.

• Set the standard for style and brand fit across in-game art, marketing, trailers, toy lines, campaigns, and entertainment partners, and empower the team to uphold it.

• Partner with game design, product, and marketing leadership to ensure art strategy supports gameplay clarity, player understanding, and long-term brand health.

• Mentor and support Clash artists, help them do the best work of their careers while staying aligned on the IP.

• Shape the roadmap for modernising Clash pipelines (2D to 3D, audio, tooling, and emerging technologies), championing approaches that give artists more time for the work only they can do.

• Represent art at a senior level across the business: outsourcing partners, Entertainment and Partnerships, marketing, and franchise collaborators.

What You Have

• A strong track record leading art direction on stylised games. Mobile and live-service experience is a big plus.

• Deep IP and brand instincts, the ability to define what's on-brand vs off and build the frameworks that help a whole team make that call consistently.

• Leadership experience on a highly collaborative senior art teams: setting vision, developing artists, and making the culture as strong as the output.

• Strategic experience managing outsourcing pipelines and external partners at scale, balancing quality ambitions with the realities of live-game timelines and budgets.

• Comfort operating in a low-process, high-trust environment where you own the outcomes, not just the opinions.

Would Be Nice if You Also Have

• Experience with cosmetics economies or large seasonal content pipelines.

• Experience bridging game art strategy and marketing/UA: key art, trailers, social.

• Familiarity with Clash (as a player or from prior work) and a feel for how it's evolved.

This role can be based either in Helsinki or London. Clash of Clans team members are located in both our Helsinki and London Studios however most of Artists are located in Helsinki!
