  • Ensure coherence and scalability of the narrative ecosystem across the brand.
  • Support projects when intentional narrative deviations are needed.
  • Build and maintain a narrative roadmap aligned with brand strategy.
  • Act as a strategic partner to project teams on storytelling, pacing, and narrative integration with gameplay.
