Workload

This role is estimated to take up around 3-5 hours per week of your time, although there may be spikes in workload around major events. Although there is no expectation for you to travel to attend the highest level events to assist in person, compensation for doing so may be available.

As this is a team leadership role, it is important that you can be available to run team meetings as needed, and attend department meetings at least once per development cycle as well as less frequent meetings with other NSG team leads. Our team is spread across the globe, so some flexibility with time zones is helpful for meetings.

We acknowledge that the tabletop industry as a whole needs to do a better job with diversity. We are prioritizing those applicants that can bring to NSG different experiences and points of view than we currently have on our team.
