A place where creativity thrives, new perspectives are invited, and ideas matter. A team where everyone makes play happen.

Respawn is seeking an Outsource Support Animator to bridge internal gameplay animation and external partner production for Apex Legends. This hybrid role combines hands-on gameplay animation work with ownership of outsourced animation execution, feedback pipelines, and milestone alignment across a broad range of features.

You will serve as both a creative contributor and external development coordinator, ensuring partner-produced animation meets Apex’s gameplay clarity, responsiveness, and performance standards within a live-service production cadence.

What You’ll Do…

Gameplay Animation Execution

Block and prototype gameplay animations to establish timing, weight, and design intent

Ensure assets meet gameplay readability, responsiveness, and technical requirements

External Development Coordination

Manage day-to-day communication with external animation vendors
Provide clear, structured feedback aligned with internal animation direction
Partner with Animation Directors to define briefs and reference packages
Track sprint and milestone deliverables, revisions, and approval cycles
Identify risks in quality or schedule and escalate proactively
Support vendor onboarding and documentation updates
Provide performance notes and help shape capture goals

Pipeline & Integration

Export, ingest, and validate animation assets in-engine
Maintain animation briefs, scope breakdowns, and feedback documentation
Support Statement of Work (SOW) creation with detailed asset estimates
Ensure naming conventions, rig compatibility, and version control standards
Coordinate with Tech Animation and Engineering to resolve integration issues

Ideally you have…

2+ years of professional game animation experience
Strong blocking, gameplay timing, and polish skills
Experience working directly with outsourced animation teams
Combat Animation Experience
First Person Viewmodel Animation Experience
Strong knowledge of Maya and motion capture workflows
Familiarity with engine integration pipelines
Experience tracking work in Jira or similar tools
