About INDG

INDG is a technology company specializing in large-scale digital content creation, digital twin production, and automated content generation. We help brands transform physical products into hyper-realistic digital twins that power still imagery, animation, interactive experiences, and content automation across B2B and B2C channels. By combining over two decades of CGI expertise with proprietary technology, we virtualize content production, blending creativity, technology, and process. Our teams operate across Amsterdam, Bucharest, and New York, supporting clients in fashion, sportswear, luxury, automotive, consumer electronics, and more.

Our culture brings together creative, tech, and business talent. We value ownership, collaboration, and craft, driven by a shared ambition to make every product playable.

About the Role

We are looking for a 3D Art Director to join our Healthcare and Consumer Electronics verticals. This role takes creative ownership across high-end CGI stills, animations, and interactive experiences for globally recognized brands. Building on INDG’s production-driven, technology-led approach, you will provide end-to-end creative leadership. This includes interpreting briefs, shaping visual concepts, guiding teams, and safeguarding quality during delivery. You will collaborate closely with Project Managers/Producers, creative technologists, and CGI teams to ensure projects are conceptually and visually exceptional, while also being scalable, efficient, and aligned with client objectives.

CGI expertise is essential. You will direct virtual shoots and experiences both creatively and technically, with a strong understanding of lighting, composition, materials, and realistic product representation.

What You’ll Do

• Own the creative vision and execution quality across multiple projects, from concept to final delivery.
• Interpret client briefs and translate business and brand objectives into clear creative direction.
• Develop and communicate concepts using pitch decks, style proposals, mood boards, storyboards, sketches, and visual references.
• Direct CGI teams on composition, lighting, materials, camera, and overall look & feel.
• Ensure visual consistency, realism, and brand alignment across stills, animations, and interactive outputs.
• Perform ongoing creative QA, reviewing renders and animations, providing clear feedback, and helping teams troubleshoot scenes to reach the desired quality.
• Collaborate closely with Project Managers/Producers to align creative ambition with scope, timelines, and production realities.
• Act as a creative partner in client conversations, presenting, defending, and evolving concepts with confidence.
• Stay up-to-date with contemporary design, digital visualization, CGI, and real-time/AI-driven production trends and workflows.
• Lead and inspire international teams of experienced CGI artists, fostering quality, ownership, and collaboration.

Requirements

Who You Are

• 5+ years of experience in an art direction role, ideally within CGI or agency environments.
• Strong background in CGI art direction, with a hands-on understanding of 3D pipelines, virtual production, and digital lighting.
• Proven ability to lead creative teams and maintain high quality under tight timelines.
• Excellent eye for detail, composition, and realism, supported by a strong portfolio or reel.
• Experience working directly with brands and stakeholders, with confidence in presenting and explaining creative decisions.
• Comfortable balancing creative ambition with production constraints, milestones, and delivery pressure.
• Hands-on mindset: able to jump into production when needed and independently lead smaller projects end-to-end.
• Passion for product and product storytelling – healthcare and consumer electronics experience is a strong plus.
• Strong communication skills and fluency in English.

What We Offer

This is a remote-friendly role, allowing you to work from where you are most productive. While most of our team is based in Amsterdam, we welcome remote employees to visit our office for collaboration and connection from time to time.
