About Concept80

Concept80 is a globally operating creative and film studio producing world-class content for some of the most influential brands in sport and entertainment, including Formula 1, NASCAR, Nike, Red Bull and Alpine F1 to name just a few. We specialise in high-impact filmmaking, from broadcast TV and launch films to social-first, always‑on content. Our work sits at the intersection of sport and culture, delivering impactful creative that connects.

Concept80 is lean, creatively fearless and fast-moving. We empower our people to thrive at the forefront of their craft, collectively raising the benchmark for our clients and competitors. This role sits at the heart of that ambition.

Role Overview

You'll sit at the heart of our creative team, working alongside directors, editors, designers and producers to create world‑class visual effects across films, social content, brand campaigns and live experiences.

One week you might be creating photoreal CG environments for a Formula 1 client launch film. The next, developing impossible transitions for our global clients or building cinematic visual sequences for one of the world's biggest sports brands. It's about inventing them.

What You'll Do

• Create premium VFX for commercial, branded and entertainment projects
• Design and execute high-end compositing, CG integration and motion design
• Build cinematic visual sequences from concept through to final delivery
• Collaborate with creatives from the earliest stages to shape ideas, not just execute them
• Develop innovative techniques that help define the Concept80 visual style
• Help establish workflows that allow us to deliver exceptional work at speed
• Stay ahead of emerging tools, AI workflows and new technologies that can elevate our craft

What We're Looking For

We're less interested in where you've worked and more interested in the work you've made. You'll probably have experience in many of the following tools:

• Advanced After Effects
• Cinema 4D, Blender or Maya
• Unreal Engine
• Houdini experience is a bonus
• Redshift, Octane or Arnold rendering
• Strong compositing skills using After Effects or Nuke
• Motion graphics and title design
• Tracking, keying and CG integration
• Lighting, rendering and look development
• Colour workflows and finishing
• AI-assisted creative workflows

Most importantly, you'll have an incredible eye. You'll know when something feels believable. You'll know when something cuts through, has impact and hits you on social. You'll care enough to keep pushing until it's right.

You'll Thrive Here If You...

• Love the craft and have a deep desire to make work people haven't seen before
• Care about craft as much as creativity
• Enjoy collaborating with directors and creatives
• Can work quickly without compromising quality
• Stay calm under pressure
• Are constantly learning new tools and techniques
• Want to help build one of the world's best creative studios

Bonus Points

Experience Working Across

• Formula 1/ Formula E or Motorsport
• Sport
• Entertainment
• Advertising
• Brand films
• Social-first content
• Virtual production
• AI creative workflow

Our Culture

Concept80 runs on momentum. We're a team of makers and storytellers who believe the difference is in the detail. We care deeply about the output, but just as much about how the business operates behind it. Standards are high. Conversations are direct. Everyone knows what they're accountable for.

We back each other, we challenge each other, and we don't hide from hard decisions. We find a way to deliver the exceptional against the odds, rising to every challenge, laying the path for those that choose to follow.

Package & Benefits

• Competitive salary, reflective of experience
• Full‑time role, US‑based out of our office in Charlotte
• Hybrid working model built on trust and responsibility
• Complete equipment setup to ensure you're ready from day one
