About the role

Nex Playground features a growing library of 50+ experiences, including motion and dance games, fitness and educational experiences, and Nex Originals.

What they're looking for

  • Strong conceptual thinking and the ability to translate strategy into compelling visual ideas
  • You move fast without much oversight. We're small and resource-constrained. Ambiguity is normal and information is usually incomplete. We need someone who can get things moving anyway and be scrappy about it
  • High curiosity, you see the world a little differently. In our experience that's the most reliable marker of a strong creative thinker
  • You connect creative decisions to business outcomes like unit sales, retail performance, and market expansion. Taste matters, but so does the P&L
  • Comfortable being hands-on. This isn't a role where you only review work. Some weeks you'll be in Figma, or writing copy, or redlining packaging artwork yourself
  • Comfortable operating in a small, fast-moving environment with evolving priorities
