Senior Experiential Designer / Creative Strategist

Exhibitus • Chicago, IL

5d

About The Position

Exhibitus is a leading exhibit design and experiential marketing company with products and services that support live events, trade shows, branded interiors, engagements and virtual/digital environments. At Exhibitus, we believe the most powerful brand experiences don’t just look good — they create emotional connection, influence behavior, and make people remember who a brand is. We’re looking for a highly driven, strategically minded creative who lives at the intersection of brand, space, storytelling, and human experience. Someone who understands how environments communicate. Someone who obsesses over details, thinks in systems, sketches ideas constantly, and knows how to turn strategy into experiences people can physically walk through and emotionally connect with. This is not a production-only role. This is not a “make it pretty” role. We’re looking for an emerging creative leader — someone with design instincts, client presence, work ethic, and ambition to help shape the future of experiential design at Exhibitus.
