Core Responsibilities

As an Illustrator/Graphic Content Creator, you will be responsible for creating and producing illustrations and graphical content across printed and digital material, that inspires, clearly communicates, and guides children through playful learning experiences in engaging and age-appropriate ways.

You will be responsible for creating and producing illustrations and graphical learning content, which will be part of e.g. in-box material. This visual content will be informed by defined learning outcomes prescribed by the Learning Design Manager and Concept & Design Lead. You will design the graphical learning prompts needed to ensure children can navigate playful learning experiences, be motivated, and engaged and understand the learning concepts connected to model building activities.

Play your part in our team succeeding

Starting with the initial release of LEGO MINDSTORMS™ in 1998, we have been at the forefront of building experiences that merge digital and physical play. Today, building on this history with products like LEGO SPIKE Prime™, LEGO SPIKE Essential™, LEGO BOOST™, and LEGO HIDDEN SIDE™.

You are a highly skilled illustrator and graphical resource that can effectively and quickly sketch out concepts as well as produce final production ready visual material.

As a person, you are a strong planner that takes responsibility of documenting the visual “recipe” as it materializes, ensuring that it can be scaled across multiple products.
