Responsibilities
Lead the Physical: Drive the creative vision for live events, pop-ups, and trade shows. You will oversee spatial design, materiality, and the 'guest journey,' ensuring the physical build supports the brand narrative
Bridge Digital & Physical: You don’t just build sets; you build ecosystems. You will integrate digital products and interactive installations seamlessly into physical spaces, ensuring technology enhances the environment rather than distracting from it
Narrative Activations: Move beyond 'booth design' to create immersive, narrative-oriented activations that engage attendees on an emotional level
Partner with E&E: Serve as the primary creative partner to Google’s Events & Experiences (E&E) team. You will build deep relationships, helping them translate business goals into spatial realities
Command the Room: Lead executive-level presentations for high-stakes events. You must be able to sell a vision for a physical space before it exists, using mood boards, renders, and storytelling to build consensus
Execution Excellence: Work closely with production partners to ensure the 'rendering-to-reality' gap is zero. You sweat the details, from lighting temperatures to surface textures
Future-Proofing: Explore how AI and new technologies can be integrated into live events—whether through generative art installations, personalized attendee journeys, or real-time content creation
Impact: Events that generate 'shareable' moments and measurable brand lift
Innovation: Successfully integrating new technologies (AI, AR, etc.) into physical spaces in ways that feel organic, not forced
Team Health: Inspiring a multi-disciplinary team of 3D designers, art directors, and creative technologists to do the best work of their careers
