Job summary

Zoic Labs is seeking a Creative Director to ideate, define, and present solutions with cutting-edge look, feel, and function across client experiences. You'll lead the front end of our creative process, turning ideas into interactive prototypes for web, VR/AR/XR, and related platforms.

Qualifications

• A portfolio demonstrating original creative concepts across digital and/or physical experiences.

• Comfort working in quick-paced, rapid-prototyping environments.
• Familiarity with design and prototyping tools (Figma, Adobe Creative Suite, or similar); experience with Unreal Engine or Unity is a strong plus.
• Curiosity about user and human-centered design, and what makes an experience genuinely engaging.
• A collaborative mindset, comfortable working closely with designers, developers, and producers across both government and commercial engagements.

Responsibilities

• Generate and pitch original creative concepts, translating client goals and brand strategy into concept art, storyboards, mockups, or interactive prototypes for immersive, interactive, experiential and gamified experiences (primarily web tools, VR/AR/XR a plus).
• Join business development trips and take the lead in early client conversations, listening for how their teams work today and where the friction is, then thinking out loud with them about what a better experience could look like.
• Partner with UX/UI designers, developers, and project leads through discovery, brainstorms, and rapid prototyping while adapting tone and approach across government and commercial engagements.
• Explore emerging tools, platforms, and technologies (game engines, AI, spatial computing, etc.) and identify practical ways to bring them into client work.
• Support the creation of case studies, pitch decks, and thought leadership content that showcase Zoic Labs' creative approach.
