About The Position

The Global Creative Visualization (GCV) team is General Motors’ in-house creative engine for the imagery and experiences that introduce our vehicles to the world. We craft high-end, marketing-quality, public-ready visuals and motion using a blend of CGI, photography, video, and advanced AI tools, delivering work that is both artistically inspiring and technically precise. From the earliest sketch to the moment a vehicle is revealed to the public, GCV is embedded throughout the full vehicle development journey. We partner closely with design, engineering, and marketing teams, translating vision into compelling content that informs decision making internally and excites customers externally. GCV develops content from concept through final mastering for both internal and external audiences, from exploratory design imagery and executive reviews to reveal campaign and social content. If you want to shape the very first look the world sees of future GM vehicles, push the boundaries of digital visualization and work at the intersection of design, technology, and storytelling, GCV is where your craft will have a global impact.
