Overview The Opportunity

Immerse yourself in our boldest design dreams, powered by brand love. The Pepsi Co Global Brand Experience Design Team transports brands to entirely new settings, boldly envisioning immersive new territories that bring next‑level dimension to brands across the Pepsi Co portfolio. We envision and execute experiential expressions for our biggest brands, from Lay’s, Cheetos, and Doritos to the UCL and FIFA, building brand love by creating a magical bond with each consumer.

Under the direction and guidance of the Experience Design Lead, the Senior Experiential Designer of Brand Experience will create best‑in‑class activations, from major events to LTO influencer kits and from temporary pop‑ups to permanent stadium installations. As a 3D artist with experience in architecture and spatial design, you’ll imagine and build models and renderings all the way through to execution and fabrication.

You’ll touch every facet of the design process and be responsible for creative development from conceptualization through to on‑site execution, collaborating closely with cross‑functional partners both internally and externally. Successful candidates will be agile, curious, entrepreneurial, and, most importantly, passionate about pushing the boundaries of Experiential Design.
