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
