"Your job is to orchestrate the mission design, narrative, game mechanics, and systems to create the highest quality experience possible. You foster relationships with creative, engineering, and production to create an inclusive design team."
The job listing continues, mentioning "single-player" specifically: "Your job is to embrace the core tenets of the Battlefield franchise and make sure they are woven through all layers of a masterfully designed single-player campaign. You will build the studio's design team and culture and build an amazing campaign from concept through release. You are also responsible for leading iterations of the product design based on feedback from peers, company partners, and team members while holding to the core vision."
There are some other interesting parts of the job listing, including a suggestion the campaign won't be an afterthought like previous Battlefield campaigns. In particular, the "define and lead the design efforts necessary for creating a best-in-class single-player campaign experience" part of the job listing points towards a certain level of ambition.
