- Own the visual identity across all broadcast-facing products, ensuring every output feels premium, polished, and unmistakably Bolt6.
- Design and direct new ways of visual storytelling, turning complex data or mechanics into formats that are simple, beautiful and engaging for global audiences.
- Collaborate cross-functionally with product, engineering, sports leads, and external partners to design visual tools that are both functional and striking.
- Develop real-time and replay graphics that integrate seamlessly into live production environments; including augmented reality, data overlays, and match analysis tools.

- Partner with broadcast clients and rights holders to ensure creative outputs meet both editorial and commercial goals.
- Mentor and grow creative talent, from our broadcast operational team to designers.
- Define the UX and visual design language of early-stage products, working closely with product and engineering to shape how users (internal, external or production) engage with our tools.
What You Bring
- Proven experience as a Creative Leader or Senior Designer in broadcast, sport, entertainment, or gaming.
- Deep understanding of visual storytelling, especially turning data into narratives.
- Strong background in motion graphics, broadcast design, or AR overlays, with a portfolio that shows work across live or replay content.
- Technical proficiency in tools such as After Effects, Cinema 4D, Unreal Engine, or similar. Familiarity with real-time engines or broadcast toolchains is a plus.
- Confident directing across formats, from live sports broadcast to studio-based analysis and digital-first content.
- Track record of leading multi-disciplinary creative projects, ideally spanning multiple sports or formats.
