Senior Creative

We're looking for a multidisciplinary Senior Creative to join our award-winning Immersive team at Journey's Squint/Opera studio in New York! 

About the Studio: 

Squint/Opera is Journey's immersive design studio, bridging the digital and physical worlds through groundbreaking storytelling and emerging technologies such as Unreal Engine and virtual twins.   We're the innovators behind the Empire State Building Observatory's digital reinvention, creating over 40 unique exhibits that transform 10,000 square feet into an interactive journey through history and architecture. At Battersea Power Station, we designed Lift 109, an immersive ascent experience that melds cutting-edge animations, interactive elements, and spatial soundscapes to breathe new life into London's iconic landmark. For Qiddiya City, we pushed the boundaries of virtual production, crafting a revolutionary campaign that ignited global excitement for Saudi Arabia's visionary sports and entertainment mega-development.   We're at the forefront of a new era in experiential multidimensional design (MDX) and an integral part of Journey’s Experience Stack. Inspired by the concept of a tech stack, our Experience Stack draws on decades of cumulative expertise from our physical, lighting, live & immersive, and emerging technology studios to produce magical, meaningful, original work. This integration propels our partners into new realms of growth and delivers multidimensional experiences that are not just consumed but that are lived and felt through every dimension of human interaction.  

About the Role:

As our Senior Creative on the Immersive Team, you’ll report to the Creative Director and work closely with Producers, freelance artists, and clients, interpreting and translating briefs into creative visions and contributing to delivering high-impact experiences across digital and physical formats for exhibition projects in the cultural and brand sectors. Whether it’s 2D, 3D, print, or interactive media, your work will influence audience experiences.    Main Responsibilities:

• Collaborate with the Creative Director, Producers, and cross-disciplinary teams to transform ideas into high-quality, deliverable content that doesn’t just look good but tells a story, creates an experience, and leaves an impression.

• Attend client meetings, interpret briefs, and build strong narratives and achievable creative visions for a wide range of deliverables, including (but not limited to) creative treatments, storyboards, spatial design, script writing, creating brief decks, and style frames.
• Be comfortable leading visual direction from conception through execution, ensuring the creative vision aligns with client objectives and our studio’s high standards.
• Work with Producers to manage timelines and project reviews.
• Create presentation materials for existing projects and new business. 

Outcomes: 

• Immersive Excellence: Your creative vision will define how visitors engage with and experience exhibitions, ensuring every project is memorable and emotionally resonant.
• Collaborative Success: Working closely with production teams, you will ensure all visual elements of an exhibition come together smoothly and that tell stories that resonate.
• Creative Innovation: You’ll continually push the boundaries of exhibition design, integrating new techniques and technologies to create more immersive, interactive experiences.
