Creature Designer

We’re looking for a Creature Designer to join our Design team at Creature Technology Company. You’ll help define what our creatures are, how they look, move, and feel to an audience, and guide that vision through to delivery. This role sits at the centre of the project team, working closely with design, engineering, production, and project management to deliver a clear guest experience outcome

About Creature Technology

Creature Technology Company (CTC) are award winning global leaders in creating awe inspiring creatures that captivate visitors at some of the world’s most exciting visitor attractions and theatre productions. We are an all-in-one design, engineering, and fabrication studio. Combining creativity, artistry, and cutting-edge technology to bring animatronic characters to life.

Responsibilities

A little about the role and why it matters

Every creature we build is experienced in motion, in context, and in front of real audiences. This role ensures the creative intent stays coherent as ideas become engineered systems and finished builds. You’ll lead the creative decision-making, balance trade-offs thoughtfully, and help the team deliver a creature that performs reliably while still feeling true to the original concept

What you’ll do

• Define the creature’s design vision: What it is; how it behaves; and what the audience should experience.
• Lead the creative direction from early concepts through to final build, keeping intent clear as constraints and details evolve.
• Act as the primary client-facing creative lead, presenting the vision, guiding discussions, and supporting alignment and sign-off.
• Translate client feedback into clear, actionable direction for the internal team while protecting conceptual integrity.
• Define creature performance and behaviour (animation profile) and maintain performance intent through delivery.
• Chair key design consultations and creative reviews, guiding decisions that affect guest experience outcomes.
• Provide design stewardship and creative problem-solving support across all contributing disciplines.
• Integrate creative intent with technical and production capability through system-level oversight and interface awareness.
• Oversee creative quality through evaluation, iteration, and validation against agreed intent.
• Identify creative risks and work with the project team to implement practical mitigations.

Requirements

You could be the one if you…

• Have 5+ years’ experience in a design leadership role, including ownership of complex, cross-disciplinary build projects.
• Hold a tertiary qualification in Industrial Design, Mechatronics/Robotics, or a related discipline.
• Have owned the creative vision for complex “hero” assets or experience-driven products from concept through to delivery, with clear accountability for the final guest/user experience outcome.
