What You Will Do

• Lead the development of high-impact digital storytelling across design, research, and strategy initiatives—from concept to execution.
• Present sophisticated concepts and solutions to non-technical audiences using storytelling, visual communication, and data-driven insights.
• Lead the end-to-end creation of original video content, including storyboarding, scripting, animating, editing, sound design, and post-production.
• Own the creative development and visual direction of storytelling pieces in collaboration with design teams, strategists, researchers, and marketing leads.
• Translate complex ideas into compelling visual narratives, leveraging real-time engines, motion graphics, AI content generation, and other advanced digital tools.
• Partner with the Design Technology Director to build a high-performing storytelling team, promoting a culture of experimentation, innovation, and collaboration across disciplines.
• Partner with architects, designers, strategists, and technologists to identify storytelling opportunities at all project phases—from pursuit through project completion.
• Establish and refine production workflows to scale storytelling capabilities across the region.
• Stay updated with cutting-edge technologies and industry trends, directing the team’s R&D roadmap and tool adoption.
• Collaborate with Marketing, Brand, and Communications teams to support pitches, pursuits, and project storytelling.
• Manage project timelines, creative briefs, and stakeholder feedback from inception to delivery.
