About the Role

RED VELVET is seeking a full-time, Austin-based Creative Lead with 15+ years of experience directing high-impact, large-scale experiential events. This critical role owns our end-to-end creative process and serves as the primary visionary for complex projects. You will lead and inspire a multidisciplinary team of designers while maintaining a hands-on, collaborative approach.

Responsibilities

• Serve as the agency's creative north star; generating bold, culture-creating concepts and driving them end-to-end on complex projects.
• Inspire, mentor, and elevate a multidisciplinary design team across 3D and graphic design disciplines, with clear accountability.
• Confidently articulate and pitch complex experiences in compelling formats so clients can easily see the vision.
• Fiercely protect and accurately represent the client's brand identity through every stage of execution.
• Partner with production to ensure creative ideas are fiscally responsible and respectful of client budgets.
• Guide the design team in developing clear, impactful 3D renderings and spatial designs that sell the vision.
• Act as a bridge-builder across Accounts, Production, and Operations, aligning design with logistics.
• Establish structured creative workflows that keep projects moving effectively without overcomplicating them.
• Direct the creative team onsite and support production leads to ensure the creative vision is flawlessly realized.

Requirements

• 15+ years directing high-impact, large-scale experiential work, with real creative leadership experience (not just senior design experience).
• Hands-on fluency in SketchUp, Rhino, or comparable 3D/spatial design tools.
• A strong point of view and the spine to hold it.
• The range to move between big-picture vision and the precise detail that protects it, across multiple concurrent projects.
• A clear, confident, trusted, and commanding presence in high-stakes client rooms.
• A collaborative leadership style that builds bridges rather than working in a creative silo, with the ownership and follow-through to run with minimal oversight.
• Curious, proactive problem-solving: you ask the right questions, anticipate challenges, and thrive under pressure or ambiguity.
• Comfort with structured workflow tools (monday.com, Slack, Harvest, Google Workspace) without needing process to replace creative instinct.
