Wargaming is seeking a strategic, highly skilled UI/UX Lead Designer to join our flagship headquarters in Nicosia, Cyprus. This is a high-impact leadership role within the World of Tanks: HEAT division, designed for a professional who balances a deep passion for player-centric design with the organizational acumen required to lead a high-performing creative team. In this role, you won’t just be designing interfaces; you will be architecting the emotional and functional journey of millions of players. You will serve as the guardian of usability and the champion of visual excellence, ensuring that the complex systems of a world-class AAA title are accessible, engaging, and rewarding. As a UI/UX designer at the lead level, your influence will extend from the smallest micro-interaction to the overarching visual language of the entire franchise.

You will lead a dedicated team of designers, fostering a culture of mentorship, iterative excellence, and data-informed decision-making. You are expected to be a “Player-First” advocate. This means moving beyond “making things look good” and diving deep into the psychology of motivation, the friction of decision-making, and the emotional arc of a gaming session.
