Balance speed with quality, knowing what matters in the moment
Adapt visuals as stories evolve throughout the day
Collaborate with Editorial
Work directly with producers to understand the story before designing the visual
Help shape how a story is told visually, not just execute requests
Stay aligned with newsroom priorities and deadlines
Execute in Real Time
Build and refine AR/VR scenes in Unreal Engine and Cinema 4D
Design lighting, materials, motion, and camera moves that feel natural on air
Ensure all elements perform consistently in real‑time broadcast environments
Optimize assets for speed, clarity, and consistency
Keep It Clean, Keep It Useful
Avoid unnecessary complexity – every element should serve the story
Maintain a modern, editorial‑first design approach
Contribute to a growing library of reusable AR/VR tools for news coverage
Help define what effective AR/VR storytelling looks like across stations
Qualifications & Skills

Experience with Unreal Engine (real‑time design is core to the role)
Proficiency in Cinema 4D and Adobe Creative Suite (After Effects, Photoshop, Illustrator)
Strong sense of composition, structure, typography, and motion
Ability to simplify complex information into clear visuals
Comfortable working in fast‑paced, deadline‑driven environments
Strong communication skills, especially with editorial teams
What Sets You Apart
You think like a storyteller, not just a designer
You can take a messy, complex story and make it visually obvious
