We will also consider a remote-based working arrangement for qualified candidates with East Coast working hours as a prerequisite."

DESIGN / Do you have an eye for design, a passion for sports, and a love for creating immersive experiences?

Do you thrive at the intersection of graphic design, 3D experiential design, and brand storytelling?

If so, this is the role for you.

We are looking for a Multi-Disciplinary Designer who will play a pivotal role in shaping marketing events, trade shows, and branded activations for some of the world's leading sports and lifestyle brands. This position requires a designer who can move fluidly between 2D graphic design and 3D experiential environments - concepting bold, innovative ideas and executing them with attention to detail and keen sense of design.

You'll work collaboratively with a team of creative directors, designers, copywriters, and producers, developing everything from pitch presentations and campaign visuals to 3D renderings of event footprints, signage, and spatial environments.

Some of the brands you'll potentially work with include such clients as The Home Depot, BMW, PlayStation, Mastercard, Bank of America, Delta, and Amazon, among others.

THE WORK YOU'LL DO

  • Help lead the design and execution of multi-disciplinary projects across print, digital, 3D, and experiential platforms.
  • Conceptualize and design immersive brand activations, trade show booths, and event environments that engage and inspire.
  • Create detailed 3D renderings, spatial layouts, and experiential mockups using industry-leading software.
  • Design campaign visuals, logos, event signage, social graphics, and integrated branding collateral.
  • Collaborate with internal teams throughout the creative and production process to ensure seamless execution.
  • Present creative concepts and deliverables both internally and directly to clients.
  • Support new business efforts through compelling pitch visuals and environmental design concepts.
  • Stay current with design trends, sports culture, and emerging technologies to drive innovation.
