About the Opportunity
Join a fully staffed creative team at the very start of a major experiential program for a leading global tech brand. The client wants this year's event to break the mold of typical B2B experiences. Think SXSW-level energy: fresh, modern, interactive, and boundary-pushing.

You'll come in at the ground floor, starting with a strategy kickoff to align on the brief. From there, you'll set the creative vision for a cohesive, standout brand journey from first impression to final takeaway.

What You'll Do

  • Lead concepting across visual identity, brand activations, and booth/environment design
  • Develop bold, interactive activation ideas. These are central to the experience.
  • Bring spatial thinking to temporary architecture, wayfinding, and branded environments
  • Concept motion content for large-format LED and immersive installations
  • Present concepts to the client and guide them through creative decisions
  • Lead the team and direct designers from concept through execution
  • Adapt quickly as priorities evolve in a fast-moving, collaborative environment

Key Dates & Travel (all travel paid)

  • Nov 12: San Francisco site visit
  • April 5–8: Event in San Francisco. You'll need to be available and onsite for the full event.

Minimum Requirements:

  • 7–10+ years as a Creative Director
  • Background in spatial design, art direction, and branding
  • Experiential agency experience with major tech clients (e.g., Amazon/AWS, Meta, TikTok, Airbnb, Snap, Dell, etc)
  • Hands-on experience concepting motion for physical spaces and large LED displays
  • Strong presentation skills and confidence leading client conversations
  • Excellent communication, flexibility, and a calm, roll-with-it approach to change

Preferred Qualifications: 

  • Experience with enterprise or cloud tech brands and their brand systems

Portfolio
Please share work that includes:

  • Booths, pop-ups, or event environments for big tech brands at an experiential agency
  • Built structures you designed or led
  • Event branding and signage systems
