Job Description

Job Description: Insight Global is looking for a Sr VFX & AI Designer, to join an in house creative agency who will be a core creative contributor within the Studio Production team – designing and producing high-quality visual content across product, lifestyle, social, web, and campaign formats while operating at the intersection of design craft and emerging AI technology. Reporting to the Sr Manager, AI & VFX, you will bring advanced proficiency in Generative AI tools and post-production workflows, contributing both to individual project execution and to the development of the scalable systems and pipeline frameworks that define how WCS produces AI-assisted content at volume. The ideal candidate has a strong, classically grounded design foundation – deep knowledge of composition, typography, lighting, and visual communication – combined with hands‑on mastery of Generative AI tooling and a genuine understanding of post‑production workflows. You bring a photographic mindset to everything you create, a high standard of brand accuracy, and the technical curiosity to continuously push what the studio’s AI pipeline can do. You are equally comfortable owning the execution of a brief and helping define the systems that make execution faster and better for everyone around you.

Key Outcomes

• Design Execution & Visual Quality
• Design and develop high-quality visual content across product, lifestyle, social, web, presentations, and marketing collateral – applying advanced command of composition, lighting, typography, layout, and visual communication to deliver premium, production‑ready outputs consistently and at speed.
• Bring a photographic mindset to every execution – applying deep knowledge of lighting logic, lensing, framing, color grading, and product staging to ensure AI‑generated and composited imagery reads as authentic, intentional, and brand‑right rather than algorithmically produced.
• Maintain rigorous product accuracy and brand fidelity across all outputs – especially for product visualization, packaging, and e‑commerce imagery where label accuracy, color truth, and detail consistency are non‑negotiable.
• Manage multiple concurrent projects across both production‑driven and campaign‑based workflows – adapting pace and approach to the demands of each project type without losing quality, precision, or delivery reliability.
• Support look development by combining strong design fundamentals with AI‑assisted workflows – exploring creative territory efficiently while keeping outputs grounded in production constraints and brand standards.

• Generative AI & Workflow Integration

  • Leverage Generative AI tools [Weave, Gemini, etc] at an advanced, production‑ready level to enhance ideation, accelerate iteration, and drive scalable content generation across campaigns and high‑volume production pipelines.
  • Develop, refine, and own prompt strategies, reference frameworks, LoRA applications, and control methods that establish consistency across AI‑generated outputs at campaign scale – building reusable approaches the broader team can adopt.
  • Translate creative briefs into scalable design systems and generative pipeline components – building the workflow infrastructure that allows the studio to move from brief to high‑volume output without losing quality or brand alignment.
  • Stay ahead of emerging GenAI tools, model updates, and workflow innovations – actively evaluating new technologies and introducing relevant ones into the WCS pipeline with a practical, production‑tested perspective.
  • Operate fluently across node‑based AI environments – building and maintaining structured generative workflows in ComfyUI or equivalent tools, including ControlNet integration, upscaling pipelines, and custom model configuration.
  • Drive ethical and compliant standardizations of tools and best practices.
  • Actively explore and introduce new products and ways of working.

• Cross‑Disciplinary Collaboration

  • Work closely with VFX, production, and creative teams to ensure design integrates effectively into post‑production workflows – including asset preparation, renders, passes, and compositing handoffs – bringing a strong understanding of where your work sits in the broader pipeline and what downstream disciplines need from you.
  • Operate fluently across both production‑driven and campaign‑based environments – adapting your approach, toolset, and pace to the specific demands of each project type without losing creative quality or pipeline discipline.
  • Collaborate actively across departments – design, VFX, production, engineering, and marketing – championing a cross‑disciplinary approach and contributing your technical and creative perspective to shared problem‑solving.
  • Demonstrate ownership across both execution and workflow development – taking initiative to improve the systems and standards around your work, not just the work itself.

• Creative Problem Solving & Innovation

  • Apply a solution‑driven mindset to creative and production challenges – using a broad understanding of Generative AI tools, design principles, and post‑production workflows to identify effective ways to achieve the desired creative outcome.
  • Experiment rapidly with different models, tools, techniques, and workflows – developing new approaches when established solutions do not exist or are not sufficient.
  • Translate creative challenges into practical, repeatable solutions – identifying opportunities to improve quality, efficiency, consistency, and scalability across AI‑assisted production.
  • Demonstrate strong technical curiosity and independent problem solving – actively investigating new capabilities, testing emerging technologies, and determining how they can be practically applied within production.
  • Share successful approaches and learnings with the wider team – helping evolve the studio’s AI capabilities, workflows, and best practices over time

Skills and Requirements

• 5+ years of experience in a design role within a commercial post facility, VFX studio, advertising agency, or in‑house creative studio, with a portfolio demonstrating advanced design craft and AI‑assisted content production.

• Minimum 7 years in design or creative roles, with both agency and in‑house brand or studio experience preferred.

• Strong background in design fundamentals – layout, typography, color, and composition – and visual communication and branding, applied consistently across high‑volume production environments.

• Advanced proficiency in Adobe Creative Suite [Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign] and Figma, with strength in image compositing, multi‑layer asset manipulation, and retouching within a production context.

• Solid understanding of photography principles – including lighting, lensing, framing, color grading, and product staging – applied to both AI‑directed and composited imagery.

• Hands‑on experience with Generative AI tools, ideally Weavy AI, at a production level – including image generation workflows, prompt engineering, and reference‑based generation – with demonstrated ability to produce brand‑right, artifact‑free results at scale.

• Experience working within a post‑production or VFX environment, with a strong working knowledge of the production process including assets, renders, passes, and compositing workflows.

• Demonstrated ability to manage high‑volume, fast‑turnaround production across multiple concurrent projects without sacrificing quality, brand accuracy, or delivery reliability.Bachelor’s degree in Graphic Design, Visual Communication, Fine Arts, or a related field preferred.

• Experience with 3D tools [Blender
