Key Responsibilities:
* Develop high-end, photorealistic product and lifestyle scenes, including advanced image compositing, from various reference materials.
* Create professional 3D product animations (e.g., product rotations, camera moves, and simple showcases).
* Help set new standards for the modeling, texturing, lighting of products, with an absolute dedication to visual authenticity.
* Accurately translate design concepts into detailed 3D models.
* Develop high-resolution final images and video assets of rendered content.

Requirements:
1. Mandatory: Expert proficiency in Cinema 4D. Note that this is a strict requirement; we are not seeking users of Blender, 3ds Max, or Maya for this role. Experience with Octane Render is highly preferred.
2. You possess a strong portfolio showcasing expertise in high-definition, commercial-style 3D visualisations, expert image compositing, and 3D animation. Portfolios focused on character design, game assets, or abstract/fantasy scenes are not suitable for this role.
3. Mandatory: Excellent verbal and written English communication skills are required. You must be able to fluently communicate and clearly articulate technical 3D constraints to non-technical team members.
4. You have 4+ years' experience as a 3D designer, ideally having worked in a graphic/animation studio, advertising agency, or in-house creative department. Some experience working with beauty or wellness products is beneficial.
5. You possess a proactive interest in emerging 3D technologies and a willingness to explore AI-powered tools to optimise workflows and push creative boundaries.
6. You are capable of assessing a brief and determining the most effective execution strategy – knowing when to push for technical excellence and when to utilise smart shortcuts to meet tight turnarounds.
7. You are educated to degree level in Design or a related subject (e.g., Graphic Design, Product Design, Animation, or Motion Design).
8. You are proficient in modelling and texturing, and can create stunning, life-like visual assets of packaging, single products, and detailed marketing scenes. Your output must demonstrate strict adherence to photographic quality and detail.
9. You have expertise in lighting setup, colour, and shading, with a keen focus on optimal product presentation to achieve visual authenticity.
10. You have a superb sense of composition, visual veracity, texture, and illumination, and a sophisticated understanding of materials. You can view products from a customer's perspective.
11. You are highly skilled with Adobe Photoshop (essential for compositing/photomontages) and knowledgeable about the broader Adobe Creative Suite.
12. You can effectively plan, prioritise, and problem-solve in a fast-paced environment, and manage multiple projects simultaneously.
