Job Description
Overview
We’re hiring a senior-level 3D Creative Director to fully own the visual direction of product launches—from first concept through final delivery.
This is not a task-based execution role. This is a high-ownership role where you’re trusted to take a product brief and run with it.
You’ll be told:
“We’re launching X product.”
Your response:
“On it.”
You define the look, direct the visuals, align stakeholders, and personally ensure the final output meets a high creative bar. Luxury, restraint, taste, and clarity matter here.
What You’ll Own
- End-to-end 3D creative direction for product launches
- Visual strategy across:
- Product listings
- Website pages
- Static graphics & infographics
- Motion and animation assets
Core Responsibilities
Creative Direction & Ownership
- Define the visual approach for each product launch (static + motion)
- Set the creative standard and ensure all assets feel cohesive, premium, and intentional
- Make strong, taste-driven decisions without excessive guidance
Static Renders
- Direct and/or produce high-end 3D static renders for:
- Product listings
- Infographics
- Website visuals
- Marketing assets
- Ensure lighting, materials, composition, and realism align with a luxury-level standard
Animation & Motion
- Direct and/or produce 3D animations for:
- Product storytelling
- Feature callouts
- Web and marketing use cases
- Keep motion purposeful, refined, and elevated—never flashy for its own sake
Approval → Execution
- Present clear creative concepts for approval
- Incorporate feedback efficiently without diluting the vision
- Deliver final assets with a high level of polish
Quality Control
- Own final output—nothing ships unless it meets the bar
- Maintain consistency across all static and animated assets
What We’re Looking For
- Proven experience leading 3D visual direction for premium or luxury brands
- Exceptional visual taste and judgment (subjective, but non-negotiable)
- Strong understanding of:
- Lighting, materials, camera, and composition
- Realistic product rendering
- High-end animation principles
- Comfortable working autonomously with minimal hand-holding
- Able to balance creative ambition with business timelines
- Someone who finishes—not just ideates
Tools & Skillset (Flexible, Not Dogmatic)
- Expertise in modern 3D workflows (e.g., Cinema 4D, Blender, Octane, Redshift, Unreal, etc.)
- Strong post-production sensibility (After Effects, compositing, color, final polish)
- Clear communication when presenting concepts and creative rationale
How Success Is Measured
- Product launches feel elevated, intentional, and unmistakably premium
- Stakeholders trust your judgment and stop micromanaging visuals
- Assets ship clean, on time, and raise the brand’s creative ceiling
This Role Is Not For
- Someone who needs pixel-by-pixel direction
- Someone who only executes tickets without ownership
- Someone chasing trends instead of timeless quality
