Compensation: $50,000 to $60,000 USD/year.

Note: please do not apply if you are not willing to relocate to Houston, Texas for this role.

About the Role

This position is a full-time onsite role in Houston, Texas. The candidate will support a creator who is building out game concepts but is new to formal game design. You will help articulate ideas, organize thoughts, create simple mockups, and develop clear documentation. The ideal candidate enjoys translating rough creative direction into structured, polished material while keeping the creator’s vision at the forefront.

This is an early career job opportunity available to currently enrolled students in a University program, or recent graduates.

Responsibilities

• Convert brainstorming sessions and voice notes into clean, organized design summaries
• Create simple concept documents, 1-pagers, feature breakdowns, and visual mockups
• Maintain a clear record of ideas, iterations, and decisions
• Help refine and present game concepts in a way that feels aligned with the creator’s intentions
• Offer enthusiastic feedback and help the creator develop their own design thinking
• Stay flexible and adapt quickly when ideas shift or evolve
• Ask thoughtful questions that bring clarity to direction without challenging ownership

What You Bring

• Currently enrolled or recently graduated in a Bachelor's or Master's university program.
• Strong writing and communication skills
• Ability to take loose, unstructured ideas and turn them into polished documents
• A demonstrated passion for the game development
• Basic familiarity with game design concepts (core loops, progression, player motivation)
• Interest in learning how game ideas develop from concept to execution
• A natural ability to make others feel supported, heard, and creatively empowered

Nice-to-Have

• Experience with game jams
• Light Unity experience (no coding required)
• Experience creating tabletop RPG homebrew content
• Prior tutoring, assistant, or support-oriented work
• Portfolio pieces that show writing, concepting, or basic prototyping

Work Structure

• Full Time Onsite in Houston
• Work directly with the creator in 1:1 sessions

What Makes Someone Succeed in This Role

Success comes from your ability to organize ideas, stay enthusiastic, and help shape concepts—while ensuring the creator always feels like the driving force behind the project.
