At Ubisoft, we aspire to be a workplace where EVERYONE is supported, empowered and invited to join the game. We believe that by prioritising equity and inclusivity, we fuel creative endeavours and craft gameplay experiences that reflect and respect our uniquely talented game-makers and outstanding players.
The Role
As Senior Animator you are passionate about using 3D models and rigs to bring characters to life. Alongside your eye for detail, you enjoy mentoring, knowledge sharing and taking ownership of features and systems.

As a Senior Animator, you will work closely with lesser experienced team members to offer guidance and support, as well as working closely with your lead and relevant teams to establish pipelines, processes and workflows.
To you, it’s the opportunity to work on something new and exciting, a project that piques your interest and pushes your boundaries. You’re the kind of person who understands the importance of collaboration and clear communication. You enjoy seeing your contribution to the bigger picture and relish the opportunity to learn from talented and respected peers.
As our next Animator, you will play an integral part in telling a new story, communicating the Animation Director’s creative vision through realistic and stylised character movement and interaction inspired by the project’s narrative and design.
