Our client is looking for an Art Director (Experiential / Production Design) to join their team!

This is a full-time, 40 hours/week, 12-month contract assignment that will require hybrid work in Los Angeles, CA, with collaboration tied to a large-scale immersive environment.

Responsibilities:




  • Lead the creative vision and art direction for a large-scale, cinematic immersive environment, shaping the visual identity and bringing a new experiential "world" to life from concept through execution.



  • Define and evolve the spatial narrative, establishing tone, atmosphere, and visual cohesion across all environments while elevating the guest experience through thoughtful world-building.



  • Translate conceptual ideas into fully realized physical environments, guiding production design across scenic elements, architecture, props, and materiality to achieve a cohesive and believable world.



  • Drive hands-on development of the environment, actively pushing and refining creative direction in partnership with internal teams and external partners to ensure a high level of craft and innovation.



  • Lead and mentor a multidisciplinary team-including set designers, scenic designers, illustrators, and fabrication partners-providing clear direction, feedback, and approvals throughout all phases of design and production.



  • Collaborate closely with producers, technical teams, and cross-functional stakeholders to align creative vision with feasibility, timelines, and budget while maintaining design integrity.



  • Oversee and approve all visual outputs, including environmental design, scenic treatments, props, signage, and CMF palettes, ensuring consistency, quality, and a cinematic level of detail across the experience.




Requirements:




  • Proven experience in art direction or production design for large-scale immersive environments, themed entertainment, live experiences, or film/television set design.



  • Strong background in building cinematic or real-world environments (vs. stylized/animated), with a deep understanding of spatial storytelling, materials, and physical production.



  • Demonstrated ability to lead creative teams and guide projects from early concept through fabrication and installation.



  • Experience collaborating with cross-functional teams and external vendors, balancing creative ambition with technical and operational constraints.




The pay for this W-2 position ranges from $150.00-$200.00 per hour. This position may be eligible for PTO, health and dental insurance, and/or 401(k) benefits upon meeting certain length of service and hours requirements.
