Senior Visual Development Artist

The multi-Oscar-winning creative Film & Episodic Studio at Framestore has worked with some of the greatest storytellers in film today. Collaborating with directors and producers across the complete filmmaking process to help design, plan and create beautiful images, we focus on finding innovative creative solutions to support their vision and set new standards for visual effects in cinema.

Framestore combines talent and technology to bring life to everything we create. Driven by creativity and inspired by the future, we set out every day to reframe the possible.

This is a senior role within our Visual Development team for an artist who brings both deep craft and genuine creative leadership. You'll operate at the intersection of concept and execution — shaping the visual language of major productions, driving technical innovation, and helping define how our team works. You'll bring extensive experience across traditional workflows, compositing, and generative tools, and you'll be as comfortable mentoring artists as you are solving the hardest visual problems on a show.
