I was just looking at jobs and saw Sony was hiring for a Narrative Design Lead position. I was just wondering, what the Junior equivalent position would be to this? Like what would it be called and what responsibilities would it entail?

That would be a Narrative Designer which may have junior/associate/senior/etc. levels like any other discipline. I'm not the most familiar with the position and responsibilities vary between studios but they may include:

  • storyboarding missions, quests, and cutscenes
  • plotting out parts of the main story
  • designing character personalities and backstories
  • creating lore snippets
  • some dialogue writing (often there are dedicated writers who do this)
