The Horizon Team at Meta is building a social User Generated Content (UGC) platform where people can find people, places, and things they care about -- a Metaverse without constraints where people have freedom of identity and expression and can experience living virtual worlds that could not exist in the real world. Our vision is to build a global-scale UGC platform where the world's creators, performers, and more will be able to create their place, and enable their communities to connect, engage and play in all kinds of ways. We are driven to create a safe and compelling metaverse for never-ending exploration -- our journey is just the beginning, come join us. Meta is seeking an experienced Game Design Manager to join our team. As a Game Design Manager, you will be responsible for leading and managing a team of game designers to prototype, design, and ship first-party experiences across Horizon Worlds. You will work closely with cross-functional partners in design, art, engineering, product management, and other disciplines to guide the team to explore innovative new experiences, layouts, mechanics, and systems that facilitate and enable social connections and utilize best practices from VR, MR, desktop, and mobile. In this role, you'll be expected to utilize your full range of people management skills, product strategy, and game design skills to ensure our products and features are valuable for people and at the highest level of craft and execution. You will also be responsible for continuing to grow our multidisciplinary, diverse game design team.
