• Bridge Design & Tech: Work closely with 2D, 3D, CAD and production teams to ensure concepts can move from deck to site without losing their intent.
• Navigate the Chaos: Thrive in a fast-moving live events environment where timelines shift, expectations are high and the solution still needs to be excellent.

Your Toolkit

• Creative Strategy: Ability to dissect a brand’s DNA, audience needs and rightsholder objectives, then translate them into live environments.
• Adobe Suite: Strong command of InDesign, Illustrator and Photoshop for polished pitch decks, strategy documents and presentation materials.
• 3D & Real-Time Visualisation: A strong understanding of spatial design, Unreal Engine or equivalent visualisation tools, and how immersive environments are built.

• Composed Under Pressure: You bring battle-hardened experience from live events, experiential, sport, entertainment or culture-led environments.
