If you want to be a Maxonian and help bring the best 2D and 3D visual effects, motion graphics, gaming, AR/MR/VR, visualization and design software to the market, then we should have a chat.

WHO WE ARE:
Packed with brilliant, passionate people, Maxon is deeply rooted in the creative industry and committed to empowering the artistic community. We are Maxonians. We encourage and motivate each other to be curious learners. We are obsessed with customer fulfillment and inspiration - before, during and after purchase. If you too want to be a Maxonian and help bring to market the finest software products for 2D and 3D visual effects, motion graphics, games, AR/MR/VR, visualization and general design, let's talk.

Maxon, creator of industry-leading tools for digital artists, is seeking a Lead Asset Designer to shape the future of Maxon Capsules, our growing library of models and materials for Architectural Visualization and Motion Graphics.

As a Lead Asset Designer, you will set the visual direction for asset packs designed to help artists unlock their best work. You'll shape the look & feel of our library, from creating renders to promote our existing assets, to writing creative briefs for new collections. You'll work closely with internal partners and external vendors, providing artistic feedback to create Capsules that resonate with designers and architects alike.

What you will do:
  • Set the visual tone for Capsules Packs through mood boards, style guides, and briefs that inspire both in-house artists and third-party vendors.
  • Identify studios and artists we can work with or existing packs we can license to quickly scale our library while ensuring consistency and quality.
  • Collaborate with creative teams to craft stunning stills & animations that showcase the full potential of our assets.
  • Provide clear actionable feedback (written, verbal, and visual) to help quickly align WIP assets with the creative vision.
  • Stay ahead of creative trends to keep Capsules fresh, relevant, and inspiring for a global community of artists.
  • Support marketing efforts by developing visually compelling promotional materials for Capsules releases.


What we are looking for:
  • Proven experience as an Art Director or Asset Designer, with a focus on architectural visualization, motion graphics, or similar fields.
  • A formal degree in Graphic Design, Architecture, Animation, or a related field is a plus, but not required.
  • Exceptional design sensibility, with a strong eye for composition, color, lighting, and detail.
  • Experience in developing mood boards, style guides, and asset packs that blend creativity with technical excellence.
  • Ability to provide clear, constructive feedback that drives quality and cohesion across creative teams.
  • Familiarity with Maxon products like Cinema 4D, Redshift, ZBrush, and Red Giant is helpful as we use our own tools in production.

First-Round Submission:

Please submit a portfolio website or link to a reel that demonstrates your ability to art direct across multiple styles, with an emphasis on:
  • Architectural Visualization (ArchViz)
  • Motion Graphics
  • Photorealism


WHAT WE OFFER:

You will be part of a highly motivated international team of specialists working in an environment that offers a warm welcome with detailed onboarding and a dedicated mentor for a familiarization period as well as a wide range of individual development possibilities.
