- Collaborate closely with designers, strategists, technologists, producers, and external partners.
- Provide clear creative direction while elevating the wider team's thinking and craft.
- Stay hands‑on where needed across visual direction, design development, concept visualisation, spatial thinking, or creative problem-solving.
- Use AI and emerging tools thoughtfully to expand creative exploration, accelerate ideation, and strengthen the overall quality of creative thinking.
What You'll Bring
- Strong Creative Director-level experience within experiential, immersive, spatial, interactive, or technology-led creative work.
- A portfolio that demonstrates built work across environments, installations, activations, experiences, systems, or interactions.

- Experience across two or more of the following areas: experiential marketing, brand activations, themed entertainment, attraction design, narrative environments, permanent or touring installations, interactive experience design, cultural moments, festivals, tentpoles, world's fairs, or fan experiences.
- Comfort using AI and emerging creative tools as part of the creative process, with a clear point of view on how they support better thinking rather than simply faster output.
- A collaborative leadership style, with the ability to guide teams clearly without being overly hierarchical.
