Talent Lead

We’ve helped millions to fight their way through fearsome mobs in Minecraft Dungeons, battle each other and the environment in Rust: Console Edition and most recently worked with Bethesda Game Studios to craft new adventures for Vault Dwellers around the world in Fallout 76.

We proudly source the very best talent from all around the world to create games played by millions of people.

As a Talent Lead at Double Eleven, you’ll source the very best technical talent from all around the world to join our team at our new studio in Mid-Valley City.

You’ll support the Global Talent Manager to deliver a people-focussed service. As the Global Talent Manager is based in our UK office, this will be a standalone role in our KL studio where you’ll work closely with the Studio Manager and People Lead.

Excitingly, you’ll need to be ready for an adventure to Middlesbrough (UK) at least once a year to spend time with the wider teams at our brand-new HQ studio.

We can support in-county KL relocation and have a dedicated People and Operations team on standby to assist you and your family with every step to us.

Strictly no agencies (sorry guys) and we’re unable to sponsor a visa for this role.
