The OpportunityE3 XPS is looking for an Exhibit Design Manager who wants more than a seat at the drawing board. This is a chance to lead creative work, grow a design team, and help shape the future of a fast-moving experiential company — with a new 130,000-sq-ft design center coming in 2027.
You'll report directly to the President as a hands-on leader of a small design team. One day you might guide the concept for a major custom exhibit; the next, coach a designer through a presentation or solve a buildability challenge with production. Your work shapes what clients see, what we build, and why we win.
What You'll Own- Creative direction for custom exhibits, branded environments, and experiential programs
- A small team of exhibit designers — coaching, priorities, quality, accountability
- Hands-on design leadership on major, high-value opportunities
- Design reviews covering strategy, storytelling, aesthetics, and buildability
- Collaboration with Sales, Estimating, Project Management, Graphics, Production, and Operations
- Client presentations that connect the idea to the business case
- Design standards and processes that improve speed, consistency, and profitability
- See the big idea and the details it takes to make it real
- Enjoy leading people but want to stay close to the creative work
- Give direct, useful feedback that builds others up
- Know great exhibit design has to be visually powerful, technically sound, and financially responsible
- Move with urgency and stay composed when priorities shift
- Can defend a strong idea, take feedback, and improve the work without ego
- 7+ years of design experience in exhibits, experiential environments, industrial design, interiors, retail, or a related field
- Experience leading designers, creative projects, or a design function
- A portfolio showing original thinking, spatial problem-solving, and completed work
- Knowledge of materials, fabrication, graphics, AV/tech, and production realities
- Strong 3D design, rendering, and presentation skills
- Bachelor's degree in a related field preferred; equivalent experience welcome
