Your Mission

We are looking for an experienced Creative Director to lead the creative vision and experience design of immersive, interactive, and technology-driven projects, from initial concept through to final delivery.

This role calls for a senior creative leader with a strong foundation in visual design and art direction, combined with expertise in experience strategy, UX, storytelling, content production, and creative technology.

You will shape compelling user and audience experiences, establish distinctive creative directions, and ensure creative consistency across multidisciplinary productions.

We are particularly interested in someone who is hands-on in visual development, capable of personally creating initial concepts, treatments, and style frames, while directing sophisticated content production and maintaining creative oversight throughout the entire project lifecycle.

You will collaborate closely with creative leadership, producers, designers, content strategists, creative technologists, developers, and other multidisciplinary teams to align creative vision with experience design, technical feasibility, and production requirements. You will also work with clients and stakeholders to translate their objectives and feedback into cohesive, high-quality experiences.
