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.

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
