The Gig
Ready to see your design work brought to life on the global stage?
A newly unified 60-strong live events and experiential production powerhouse is scaling fast. Built to design, produce, and execute world-class brand activations and live experiences for tier-one global brands—spanning high-end beauty, luxury, and multinational corporate leaders—this team needs an autonomous, craft-focused Senior Graphic Designer / Art Director to hit the ground running across high-profile pitches and live projects.
What You’ll Do
- Design Across Every Touchpoint: Craft visually arresting key visuals, event identities, stage graphics, OOH, large-format screens, and bespoke environmental touchpoints for live physical spaces.
- Elevate the Pitch: Own the visual narrative in high-stakes presentations. You’ll design sharp, modern, compelling pitch decks in PowerPoint that win over prospective clients.
- Work with True Autonomy: Take a brief and run with it. While you’ll collaborate with a talented international creative and production crew, you should feel comfortable shaping ideas and driving visual output independently without needing hand-holding.
- Translate Across Mediums: Fluidly adapt brand aesthetics from sleek corporate elegance to raw cultural edge, ensuring consistent, high-impact craft throughout the attendee journey.
What You Bring
- 5+ Years of Proven Craft: Solid agency or brand experience spanning live events, brand activations, or experiential design. You understand scale, spatial awareness, and how 2D graphic assets live in 3D environments.
- Dual Mastery of Adobe CS & PowerPoint: Adobe Creative Suite is second nature to you, and you treat PowerPoint like a genuine design canvas, not an afterthought.
- Eclectic, High-Taste Portfolio: A showcase demonstrating strong foundational ideas, contemporary visual style, and a broad range of aesthetics across varied sectors.
- Proactive Mindset: Natural curiosity, a point of view, and the confidence to pitch ideas and improvements unprompted.
- Setup: Mac-based workflow with fluent English (you’ll be working across diverse, international teams).
Bonus Points
- Conversational or fluent French or Spanish (a plus when collaborating across UK, European, and US teams).
- Experience integrating generative AI tools into your visual exploration and workflow.
