Lead 3D Designer
PrizePicks' Creative Collective is looking to add a Lead 3D Designer to its roster. This team moves fast, debates hard, and stands behind its decisions. The Lead 3D Designer will lead the 3D discipline from start to finish, working alongside Art Directors and Product teams to design a 3D language that enhances the fan experience in the product and throughout marketing.
The role requires an elite 3D craftsperson who builds characters, environments, and objects that add to the PrizePicks experience and brand. This individual will also determine how 3D work is briefed, reviewed, and shipped across the organisation. The ideal candidate has spent their career being the best 3D mind in every room and is ready to lead the discipline.
- Build worlds that feel unmistakably PrizePicks.
- Design and build 3D characters, environments, and objects for brand campaigns, product moments, and cultural activations.
- Translate 2D concepts and mood boards into fully realised 3D executions.
- Own the render quality bar - lighting, materials, composition - from first pass to final delivery.
- Push what 3D + AI can do together.
- Integrate AI image generation workflows into the 3D pipeline to speed up ideation and exploration.
- Experiment with real-time rendering and emerging tools that shorten the distance between idea and finished asset.
- Bring new techniques back to the team - testing what's next.
- Lead the 3D discipline through craft, not authority.
- Own how 3D work gets briefed, reviewed, and delivered across the team.
- Partner with the Art Directors so 3D work lands inside the bigger creative idea.
- Create an environment where 3D work at PrizePicks is something the team is genuinely proud of.
- Own the pipeline.
- Maintain clean, reusable asset libraries, rigs, and templates so the team can move fast without rebuilding from scratch.
- Balance multiple projects across brand, social, and campaign timelines without dropping quality.
- Know when to hand-build and when to lean on procedural or AI-assisted workflows to hit a deadline without cutting corners.
- 5+ years of 3D design experience, with a portfolio that shows range across character, environment, and object design (required)
- Strong command of Blender (or equivalent: Cinema 4D, Maya) plus a rendering engine like Octane or Redshift (required)
- Comfort integrating AI tools into a creative pipeline (required)
- A sports, streetwear, or hip-hop culture fluency that shows up in your work (required)
