Role in summary
We’re looking for a Senior 3D Designer with proven expertise in creating high-quality 3D visuals that bring ideas and brands to life. Working predominantly across a wide range of household FMCG clients, you’ll play a central role in producing industry-leading 3D assets — from photorealistic product renders and engaging experiential environments to dynamic POS visuals.
You’ll be the go-to specialist for 3D within the agency, helping push creative boundaries, mentoring others, and exploring new opportunities in AI and emerging technologies to enhance workflows and outputs.
What you’ll be doing:
o Creating 3D visuals across a variety of formats, including:
+ Photorealistic product renders
+ Immersive experiential visuals
+ Retail and POS theatre concepts
+ Exploratory 3D AR visuals (desirable but not essential)
o Driving visual innovation, consistently raising the quality and creativity of 3D outputs for client projects.
o Mentoring and upskilling other 3D-literate designers in new techniques, workflows, and best practices.
o Collaborating with client teams and internal departments to translate briefs into impactful 3D concepts that engage and inspire.
o Exploring and piloting AI-driven workflows to improve efficiency and creative opportunities within the studio.
o Presenting work confidently to colleagues and clients, articulating creative choices and strategic rationale.
What you’ll bring to the role:
o Advanced expertise in Cinema 4D (essential). Experience with other tools such as Blender, Adobe Substance, or Unreal Engine is advantageous.
o A proven track record in delivering exceptional 3D visuals for product renders, experiential activations, and retail POS.
o Strong ability to balance creative thinking with technical execution, ensuring outputs are both innovative and practical.
o Experience in mentoring or leading colleagues, with a collaborative and supportive approach.
o A natural curiosity and interest in AI integration within creative workflows.
o Strong presentation and communication skills, with the ability to sell ideas to clients and inspire internal teams.
