We are looking for a veteran artist who can "hit the ground running" to support our ongoing high-profile projects. This is a specialized contract role for an animator who thrives in a fast-paced environment and possesses a deep mastery of stylized, keyframe-based character movement. At Super Spline Studios, we pride ourselves on being a studio run by artists, for artists. We bypass the traditional corporate "grind" in favor of a highly efficient, creative-first approach. If you are a seasoned professional looking for a stable, long-term freelance engagement with a studio that respects your time and craft, we want to hear from you. Job Overview: Freelance Gameplay Animator Company Name Super Spline Studios Job Title Freelance Gameplay Animator Job Type Freelance / Contract (6-12 Months) Start Date Immediate / ASAP Compensation Competitive Day Rate (Based on experience) Work Schedule 4-Day Work Week (Monday - Thursday) Location Remote (Europe/EU Based) Timezone Req. Must operate within +/- 3 hours of GMT/BST Core Software Autodesk Maya Application Subject Freelance Animator About the Role: The Creative Mission Super Spline Studios is not your typical development house. We specialize in providing elite animation services across a vast spectrum of the industry. As a freelance contributor, you will not be stuck on a single asset for years; instead, you will engage with a variety of projects ranging from PC and console titles to high-end mobile games, VR experiences, and cinematic trailers. For this specific contract, we are looking for an animator who excels in expressive, stylized, keyframe animation. We value the "hand-crafted" feel over motion capture, looking for artists who can inject personality, weight, and snappy timing into every frame. Because this is a freelance role intended to support active production, we require a professional who is technically self-sufficient and capable of integrating seamlessly into our established Maya-based pipelines. Primary Responsibilities as Freelance Gameplay Animator High-Level Gameplay Animation: Authoring complex locomotion sets, combat maneuvers, and contextual actions that feel responsive and visually stunning. Stylized Keyframing: Utilizing traditional animation principles to create non-realistic, highly expressive character performances that stand out in the current market. Technical Integration: Ensuring all animations are optimized for game engine implementation and adhere to the specific technical constraints of the project. Iterative Collaboration: Working closely with our leads to refine animations based on feedback, ensuring the "Super Spline Quality" is maintained across all deliverables. Workflow Efficiency: Managing your own time across a four-day work week to meet production milestones without the need for overtime or "crunch." Candidate Requirements & Qualifications This is a senior-level freelance position. We are looking for a proven track record of excellence in the games industry. Professional Experience for Freelance Gameplay Animator Industry Tenure: A minimum of 5+ years of professional experience specifically within gameplay animation for video games. Proven Track Record: You must have at least one shipped title on Console or PC. We need to see how your work translates from the curve editor to the actual player experience. Technical Expertise: Expert-level command of Autodesk Maya. You should be comfortable with complex rigs and have a deep understanding of animation layers, constraints, and graph editor optimization. Stylistic Versatility: A portfolio that demonstrates a mastery of stylized movement. While we appreciate realism, this role specifically requires an eye for exaggeration, appeal, and rhythmic timing. Logistics & Compatibility Timezone Alignment: To facilitate daily syncs and collaborative reviews, you must be located within a timezone that is +/- 3 hours of the United Kingdom. European Residency: This contract is open to freelancers based within Europe/EU. Self-Managed: As a freelancer, you are expected to provide your own hardware/software setup and manage your professional taxes and administrative requirements. Communication: Exceptional English communication skills are mandatory. You must be able to parse briefs quickly and ask the right questions to ensure project alignment. The Super Spline Culture: Why Collaborate With Us? "Variety is the spice of life" is our internal mantra. We believe that project fatigue is the silent killer of creativity. At Super Spline, you will escape the four-year dev cycle of a single game. Our freelancers enjoy the diversity of working on different IPs, styles, and platforms in a relatively short window. Our Commitment to You The 4-Day Work Week: We work Monday through Thursday. We believe this schedule maximizes focus and prevents burnout, giving you a consistent three-day weekend to recharge or pursue personal interests. The "No Crunch" Guarantee: We set realistic goals. We have worked hard to build a studio where high standards are achieved through talent and planning, not through midnight oil. Professional Respect: We value every voice in our "virtual room." Even as a freelancer, you are treated as a vital part of the creative process, not just a "hired hand." Warm Social Environment: For those who are local or visiting, we maintain a vibrant social scene with weekly team lunches, cinema trips for "research" (any excuse to see the latest animation), and social mixers with the thriving Leamington Spa gamedev community. Perks & Benefits (Specific to Contract Length) While this is a freelance engagement, we believe in treating our long-term contractors with the same care as our permanent staff. For contracts of this duration, we offer: 18 Days Paid Holiday: We want you to take time off. Birthday Leave: Your birthday is a holiday at Super Spline. Christmas Closure: Two weeks of guaranteed downtime at the end of the year to spend with family and friends. Flexible Hours: We trust you to get the work done. Our "flexi-time" policy allows you to mold your workday around your life.

While this role is hybrid, candidates must be based in the city for which you are applying. About Us Sofar Sounds is a global community that connects creatives and audiences through unique and intimate experiences. We transform everyday spaces - from living rooms and rooftops to boutiques and museums - into captivating venues for live performances, creating inclusive events that bring people together to create space for discovery, community and connection. Founded in London in 2009, Sofar now operates in 400+ cities worldwide. The majority of these cities are run by a globally connected network of independent event organizers, empowered and supported by our distributed team. We are deeply passionate about the work we do. When we're not working, you can probably find us at a live show or telling anyone in earshot about the new song we can't stop listening to. Discovering and supporting artists gets us out of bed every morning - and knowing that we're creating memorable, intimate fan experiences worldwide drives our work forward. The Role As a Freelance Local Producer, you'll join a global network of entrepreneurial community builders and tastemakers, collaborating and learning from peers around the world while shaping the cultural landscape in your city. Our Producers have strong business instincts, cultural fluency, and deep local networks they can activate - from artists and venues to brands and community partners. They're natural promoters who are passionate about creating impactful and memorable pop up experiences that provide opportunities for real life, meaningful engagement. Producers are resourceful, proactive, and driven; whether it's figuring out how to creatively sell tickets or dealing with a live event curveball, they know how to get things done and thrive on the challenge. This is an entrepreneurial, independent role designed for self-starters who want meaningful ownership over how Sofar shows up in their local community. You'll be supported by Sofar's Global Communities team and have access to training, resources, and opportunities to connect with other creators around the world. If this sounds like it's up your alley, we can't wait to meet you! Please note that this is a freelance, commission-based partnership, not a traditional employment role, offering flexibility and ownership in exchange for accountability and initiative. While the schedule is self-directed, much of the work naturally happens during evenings and weekends, when live events and community engagement come to life. What You'll Do: Strengthen Sofar's brand in your local community, promoting and selling tickets in your city with self-directed local marketing tactics. Create a vision to build and execute your city's strategy - number of monthly shows, neighborhoods, show theme ideas, etc. Lead curation and booking for experiences in your city with the highest-quality, diverse set of artists and venues, continuing to grow our networks, as needed. Own the staffing and quality of shows in your local market, working to ensure magical experiences that are rooted in hospitality. Manage your city's financial performance, ensuring financial success and health of every event. Build relationships with local businesses to drive sales of sponsorships and private events. Identify and build relationships with local organizations with like-minded audiences to build community, broaden our reach, and co promote shows. Collaborate with other local leaders to grow your city through diverse experiences that generate buzz and amplify Sofar's brand awareness. Support Sofar's Business Partnerships and Global Communities teams by ensuring high-quality curation and seamless event operations for inbound partnership opportunities that elevate the Sofar brand. Who You Are: You have deep connections to your local scene and play an active role in building community around it. You have 3-5 years of experience in live event curation, production, and promotions. You have experience selling event sponsorships or marketing activations, preferably in the live events or experiential marketing space. You're confident pitching ideas and event concepts to potential sponsors and have a track record of closing partnership deals. You have a strong pulse on your city, the unique nature of each neighborhood, and where people like to spend their free time. You're a natural connector and excel at building relationships with diverse community-driven organizations, media partners, or local businesses that would add strategic and financial value to your vertical's growth. You understand how to promote and build strategic alliances that will ultimately sell more tickets at our shows. You take pride in your work and approach every opportunity with professionalism and ownership, ensuring the best experience for artists, venues, partners, and guests. You have exceptional time management skills and are a clear communicator. You can work autonomously, but understand the importance of remaining connected to the broader organization. £100 - £5,000 a month Our Producers earn commission-based pay on a per-show basis. Please note compensation varies based on ticket prices, show volume, and event performance, with ranges from £100-£500+ per event. Our global Sofar team is deeply passionate about music and the work we do. When we're not working, you can probably find us at a live show or telling anyone in earshot about the new song we can't stop listening to. If our mission and job opening resonates, you're encouraged to apply even if your experience doesn't precisely match the job description. We are committed to creating a culture of belonging and building a diverse team that reflects a variety of lived experiences, perspectives, and skills.
