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)

This is a big help! Thanks!
