  • Manage workflow from concept through production, including communication with fabricators and partners.

Qualifications:

  • 7–10+ years of visual, experiential, environmental, or brand design experience (agency experience a plus).
  • Portfolio demonstrating compelling experiential and visual design work.
  • Proficiency in Adobe Creative Suite and Figma. Motion and/or 3D experience (Rhino, C4D, etc.) is a plus.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
