At DFS Group, we're proud to help people create spaces they love to live in. We're home to DFS, Sofology, and The Sofa Delivery Company: three brands with their own personalities, brought together by a shared mission. Behind our brands is a passionate Group team. From Finance and Technology to People, Marketing and Supply Chain, our Group functions power everything we do. They create the foundations that allow our brands to thrive, innovate and grow. Whether you're supporting our brands or serving our customers, the mindset that connects us means we expect more of ourselves and each other. It means every customer is our favourite, every voice is valued, and every interaction is one we're proud of. When you're part of a community that shares your way of thinking, the wins feel bigger. The effort feels worth it. It's a place where people stay because they feel valued, and find room to grow because they're challenged.

The Junior CGI Artist supports the creation of high-quality, photo realistic CGI assets for DFS Group's websites and marketing channels, using a combination of traditional 3D technology and AI tools. Working from 3D models, you'll develop assets to a production-ready standard, adding product details and ensuring accurate lighting, materials, textures and composition. You'll use 3DS Max, render farm workflows and Photoshop automation to produce high-quality renders efficiently. You'll also create high-volume AI lifestyle content from stylist mood boards, ensuring products remain accurate, consistent and on-brand across all channels.

What you'll be responsible for:

  • Setting up product scenes with lighting, materials, environments and composition.
  • Running and monitoring renders using Backburner and render farm tools.
  • Organising and uploading CGI assets, keeping files and naming conventions accurate.
  • Using Photoshop to retouch, colour correct and prepare final images.
  • Using AI tools to create high-quality lifestyle and social content.
  • Ensuring all work is visually consistent, accurate and meets production standards.

We're looking for someone who has:

  • Experience in the use of 3DS Max
  • Experience with V-Ray
  • Experience with Photoshop
  • Works well with an inter-disciplinary team
  • Great communication skills

Don't let it discourage you if you don't have all of this experience, it's a guideline that will help you hit the ground running. If the role sounds like it would be a great fit for you and you're confident that it suits you, we'd love you to apply.
