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

• 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

• 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
