The Role
GM Design is seeking a senior creative leader to shape the vision, creative standard, and overall output of the Global Visualization Studio. This role will define and drive how ideas, products, and stories are translated into world-class visual experiences across CGI, animation, photography, video, enhancement, and related visual content.
The studio is being shaped as a connected creative system spanning Foundations, Creative Visualization, and Architecture & Experience, with increasing partnership across Design, Marketing, Communications, and the brand teams. This role is intended to bring stronger creative authorship to that system: clearer design taste, stronger storytelling, better team leadership, and a more consistent quality bar across all output.
The ideal candidate pairs exceptional design judgment, storytelling instinct, and visual leadership with the ability to inspire teams, direct complex creative work, and execute against a clear vision at a global scale. Working across Design, Marketing, Communications, and senior stakeholders, this leader will align creative ambition with business priorities, ensuring the work is strategically sharp, emotionally resonant, and unmistakably on brand.
What You’ll Do
- Set and execute the creative vision for the Global Visualization Studio, establishing a clear point of view for how the work should look, feel, and land across GM brands and platforms.
- Lead, inspire, and develop multidisciplinary creative teams across CGI, animation, photography, video, enhancement, and related visual content, fostering high standards, strong collaboration, and continuous growth.
- Direct creative work from concept through final execution, providing art direction, critique, and decision-making that elevates craft, clarity, storytelling, and brand expression.
- Own the studio’s creative quality bar, ensuring all output reflects strong design judgment, visual consistency, and premium execution across confidential and public-facing work.
- Shape compelling visual narratives for product storytelling, launches, presentations, campaigns, executive communications, and other high-impact moments across the enterprise.
- Build trusted relationships with Design, Marketing, Communications, and global cross-functional stakeholders to align briefs, priorities, feedback, and execution across regions and programs.
- Coach and grow creative leaders and teams through clear expectations, thoughtful feedback, talent development, and a culture of accountability and creative excellence.
- Partner closely with production, operations, and studio leadership on planning, resourcing, workflows, and delivery, while maintaining clear ownership of creative direction and outcomes.
- Guide external creative partners and vendors when needed, ensuring outside support meets the studio’s creative standards and strengthens overall output.
