Experiential Art Director/Designer

This is the road where the many facets of design collide! Roadwerx, an experiential marketing, and event production agency, is looking for solid, hands-on Art Directors/Designers, with that special kind of crazy, to join our small, but growing design team. We create brand activations, in-venue experiences, permanent and pop-up installations, and VIP experiences for our group of “household name” clients. What separates us from most competitors is that we house both a design department and fabrication shop under one roof. This is a unique opportunity for creatives to showcase diverse skillsets that will include graphic design, illustration, interior design and 3D. This is a highly conceptual role. The ideal candidate will have agency experience with an inspiring portfolio that showcases their conceptual ability and demonstrates mastery of both 2D and 3D design. As many of our events are sports or entertainment related, knowledge and prior experience with either market is a huge plus. This role requires an individual who is flexible, adaptable, and comfortable in a fast-paced environment. This role reports directly to the Creative Director.

Responsibilities:

  • Lead the creative for one or more projects and follow each project from concept, design, build and installation

  • Brainstorm and execute Photoshop comps for quick concept explorations

  • Effectively communicate your vision/design ideas with internal team

  • Collaborate with internal teams to ensure the best final product

Must Haves:

  • 4+ years of experiential agency experience, working for national brands, where you lead the project’s creative - not just executing someone else’s creative

  • Must be able to thrive in a fast-paced agency environment

  • Refined and versatile design aesthetic with awareness of design trends and innovations

  • Must be comfortable working in a team environment

  • Strong conceptual ability

  • As almost all of our projects involve build components, candidates must be completely comfortable thinking 3-dimensionally

  • Candidates must be completely comfortable with math, specifically adding and subtracting fractions

  • Killer Photoshop and Illustrator skills as well as proficiency with InDesign

  • Must be detail-oriented and have strong time management skills

  • Must have solid creative writing / copywriting skills

  • Proficient at creating production mechanicals from approved designs

  • Easily juggle multiple projects and meet tight deadlines

  • Mac literacy is a must

Would be nice:

  • Proficient in 3D modeling software like Sketchup a HUGE PLUS

  • Understanding of basic construction techniques
