Creative Director - Experiences

Left Field Labs • Los Angeles, CA

2d • $150,000 - $200,000 • Onsite

About The Position

At Left Field Labs, we turn complex concepts, emerging technologies, and often ambiguous challenges into irresistible experiences people can see, touch, and understand. Experiential moments where abstract ideas become clear, irressistible, and tangible. Our positioning is simple: We Make It Real. We’re looking for a Creative Director who can do exactly that → shape bold ideas, tell the story that sells them, and lead — not dictate — teams to bring them to life.

This role sits inside our NEXT Pod, working across some of the most ambitious and creatively open territory in the industry:
Experiential environments — brand worlds, immersive spaces, permanent and touring installations
Themed entertainment — narrative environments, attraction concepts, destination experiences
Brand activations — moments that earn attention, build belief, and convert audiences into advocates
Interactive and technology-enabled work — experiences where the audience participates, not just observes
You’ll lead creative across the full arc: from early pitch and concept development through to final execution. That means being as sharp in a competitive pitch room as you are on a build site walkthrough.

Requirements

• A portfolio of ideas that live beyond the slide deck and were actually built in environments, systems, installations, or interactions.
• Ability to shape and sell ideas in competitive environments and carry a room.
• Proficiency in storytelling to capture attention, build belief, and move clients to act.

• Clear taste and vision, understanding the difference between novelty and meaning, spectacle and substance.
• Hands-on capability in graphic and/or digital design (visual systems, spatial graphics, concept visualization, motion).
• Hands-on capability in 3D (environmental modeling, spatial concept development, real-time rendering).
• Understanding of how to leverage AI to gain a creative advantage.

Nice To Haves

• Both graphic/digital design and 3D skills are exceptional.
• Experience across two or more of the following areas: Experiential marketing and brand activations at scale, Themed entertainment, attraction design, or narrative environment development, Permanent or touring installations, Technology-forward or interactive experience design, Cultural moments (festivals, tentpoles, world’s fairs, fan experiences).
• Genuine range and creative ambition to push further in each direction.

Responsibilities

• Lead creative across the full arc: from early pitch and concept development through to final execution.
• Shape and sell ideas in competitive environments.
• Craft narratives that capture attention, build belief, and move clients to act.
• Elevate the people around you with clear direction, strong taste, and generosity.
• Push for both novelty and meaning, spectacle and substance.
• Get into the work — open a file, shape a frame, and contribute meaningfully to what’s on screen or in the room.
• Demonstrate hands-on fluency in graphic and/or digital design (visual systems, spatial graphics, concept visualization, motion) and/or 3D (environmental modeling, spatial concept development, real-time rendering).
• Explain how AI expands creative exploration, uncovers insights, strengthens ideas, and accelerates thinking without outsourcing judgment.
