We are seeking a Vice President of Design to serve as a senior executive leader dedicated to elevating our agency’s design excellence. Reporting directly to the Chief Creative Officer, you will be responsible for the end-to-end delivery of world-class experiential and spatial brand activations. You aren't just managing a department; you are the visionary architect of immersive, culturally relevant environments that redefine how brands connect with their audiences in the physical world. This role requires a rare mastery of both artistic ambition and operational precision. You will lead a multidisciplinary team—with a primary focus on 3D and environmental design—to bridge the gap between abstract concepts and the technical realities of architecture, fabrication, and interactive technology. Whether you are spearheading a global pop-up tour or a permanent brand installation, you will ensure that every project pushes creative boundaries while remaining structurally and strategically sound. If you are a seasoned design executive who thrives on the complexity of large-scale spatial storytelling, we want you to lead our studio into the future.
Job Responsibility:
Lead the overall vision and execution of the design function, ensuring all outputs across spatial, environmental, and integrated disciplines meet the highest standards of craft
Champion the integration of creative technology and future-focused design trends to maintain a competitive edge in the experiential landscape
Act as a strategic design consultant for high-profile clients, translating complex business objectives into industry-defining physical and visual solutions
Lead and mentor a multidisciplinary team of 10+, fostering a culture of accountability, growth, and creative curiosity
Collaborate on hiring strategies to attract top-tier talent and manage an extensive national network of freelance specialists and 3D partners
Partner with Production, Strategy, and Account teams to ensure design integrity is maintained from initial sketch through final on-site installation
Refine departmental workflows, templates, and software standards (including 3D modeling and rendering platforms) to improve efficiency and output quality
Oversee the technical vetting of materials and fabrication processes, ensuring ambitious concepts are delivered on time, on budget, and within structural requirements
Direct the design of compelling pitch materials and environmental visualizations to win new business and expand the agency's portfolio
Requirements:
10+ years of design experience within experiential, environmental, or architectural roles, with at least 4 years in a senior leadership position (VP or Director level) at a creative agency or design studio
Deep expertise in 3D/spatial design is mandatory
advanced proficiency in modeling and rendering software such as SketchUp, Rhino, Vray, or Unreal Engine is required
Comprehensive understanding of fabrication processes, materials, and production workflows specifically for large-scale brand experiences and physical builds
Exceptional ability to articulate complex creative visions to executive-level stakeholders and persuade clients through evocative storytelling and visuals
A robust portfolio demonstrating a high level of innovation and spatial storytelling rather than just traditional 2D graphic design
Must be based in one of the agency's primary hubs (Los Angeles, San Francisco, or New York City) and willing to adhere to a hybrid in-office schedule (2 days per week)
