the
Experience Agency Making Unforgettable Stories Born of Humanity
NOT JUST EXPERIENTIAL.
EXPERIENCE.
The lines have blurred. People live in the physical, digital, and social worlds all at once, and your brand experiences should do the same.
NOT JUST TELLING.
MAKING.
The best stories are lived, not heard. Make an immersive world for people to explore so they can experience something they'll never forget.
NOT JUST CONSUMERS.
HUMANS.
It all starts with the human. If you want to make a lasting impact, look beyond the wallet to understand what motivates and inspires people.
Let's get real. We're not looking for just another designer who “knows the tools.” We're after a creative force who can stretch the limits of graphics, digital art, motion, 3D, and experiential media. You are someone who makes pixels, spaces, and stories bend to their will. You see visual possibilities everywhere, and your work doesn't just look great. It pulls people into experiences, IRL and URL. You're versatile, concept-driven, and thrive when you're hands-on from brainstorm to build. Your taste-level is through the roof. You know when to lead with vision, when to collaborate to get to meticulous craft, and when to go solo and just get it done. You're the creative Swiss Army knife others wish they could be.
Why GMR? Because this is where designers come to evolve. We're fiercely ingenious, flat by design, and powered by collaboration, not egos. Here, you'll work with a crew that roots for each other, pushes boundaries, and delivers work that sets the pace for the industry. So, if you're hungry to explore, experiment, and make your mark on major brands, GMR is where you'll do it, surrounded by people as ambitious as you are.
A portfolio or work samples are required to be considered for the role.
REQUIRED SKILLS
Shape multi-sensory experiences. You'll craft digital art, motion graphics, 3D, and experiential design that grabs attention and holds it, whether that's across screens, spaces, and realities.
Collaborate across disciplines. You'll work side-by-side with Creative Directors, Art Directors, and technical pros to build ideas bigger and sharper than any one person could alone.
Concept, present, execute. You'll take ideas from sketch to sold, pitching your vision to the room and leading teams (or flying solo) to bring it to life.
Deliver across every channel. Interactive experiences, motion, social, digital signage, in-stadium LEDs, games... Whatever the output, you know how to make it shine.
Raise the bar, every time. Quality is your baseline. You set high standards for yourself and everyone around you, because “good enough” isn't in your vocabulary.
Present your work with impact. You communicate your ideas clearly and confidently internally, with clients, and anywhere your work needs a champion.
Stay relentlessly curious. You track trends, master new tools, and always look for the next creative edge.
System proficiency. You will join our team with a previous understanding of Adobe Creative Suite- Adobe After Effects, Premiere, Photoshop, Illustrator, InDD, AI, Microsoft Products (PPT, Word, Teams)- as well as 3D design expertise (Cinema 4D preferred), including modeling, lighting, animation skills. You also have strong typography and layout skills, and extra points if you have agency experience.
The annual range for this role varies between $68,000 and $80,000 annually and may vary depending on the candidate's experience. Benefits for this role include health/vision/dental insurance, 401k, employee stock purchase plan, vacation, personal days and paid holiday time.

You will PERFORM by:
* Executing advanced 3D Modeling using Creo and / or Catia.
* Utilizing best practices in surfacing, molded part design, and design for assembly when developing part and assembly models.
* Using Windchill PDM system to properly manage, organize, and vault design data.
