Aquent Studios is expanding its managed service capacity to support the Google Platforms & Devices Visual Design/CAR (Core Asset Renders) team. In this high-impact partnership, we don’t just execute — we innovate. Our goal is to deliver best-in-class global product representations that meet Google’s “Simple, Confident, and Delightful” design ethos while reinforcing Pixel as a premium global brand.
Impact & Responsibilities (The How)
- Product Render Leadership: Lead the end-to-end production of high-fidelity 3D product renders, ensuring the “highest point of expression” for Pixel’s marketing campaigns.
- Hands-on Project Management: Drive the end-to-end process of accounting for renders—from collecting meticulous requirements from marketing stakeholders to managing the back-and-forth of asset iterations.
- Stakeholder Navigation: Act as the primary interface within a massive and complex organization, translating marketing needs into technical CGI/VFX briefs for internal and external teams.
- Quality Gatekeeper: Maintain an obsessive “eye” for detail and quality, ensuring every render meets Google’s premium hardware standards and Digital Design aesthetic.
- Pipeline Coordination: Less focused on on-set production and more focused on the Product VFX lifecycle, managing the flow of renders across digital, social, video, and OOH channels.
- Collaborative Catalyst: Foster a high-performing environment by working closely with strategy, finance, and regional retail teams to prioritize and execute high-volume bi-annual launch cycles.
- Operational Excellence: Optimize production workflows to handle massive asset volume and seasonality, ensuring maximum efficiency without sacrificing creative resonance.
Managed Service Deliverables (The What)
Aquent Studios will manage multiple production workstreams for bi-annual Pixel launches and seasonal moments, including:
- Core Asset Renders (CAR): Static and motion-based hardware representations for global marketing.
- Retail & Digital Assets: OOH, 1P/3P Digital Channels, and Print Assets.
- Video & Social: Retail Sizzles, End Cards, TV/OLV, and Social-first content.
- Specialized Deliverables: Family Bundles, “What’s In The Box,” 3D AR, 360° Motion, and Orthos.
Must-Have Expertise & Skills
- Hardware/Tech Fluency: Deep experience in Digital Product Design and CGI production, specifically for premium consumer electronics or high-end tech brands.
- Strategic Production: Proven ability to navigate a global technology ecosystem, managing complex stakeholder requirements and vendor relationships.
- The “Product Eye”: A background in VFX as it relates to Product Design—the ability to see beyond the “shot” and focus on the perfection of the “product.”
- Hands-on Execution: A proactive self-starter who is not afraid to roll up their sleeves to manage the day-to-day “accounting” of high-volume asset renders.
- Agency or Tech Experience: Previous experience at a top-tier agency or in-house at a major tech brand is highly preferred.
Software & Systems
- Google Workspace: Drive, Gmail, Sheets, Docs, Slides.
- Design & PM: Figma, Smartsheet.
- CGI Awareness: Familiarity with the Adobe Creative Suite and the technical requirements of 3D/CGI render pipelines.
