3D & Concept Artist

Social-First Acumen with 3D and Concept Art Expertise

We're looking for a 3D & Concept Artist who understands how Minecraft shows up in pop culture and knows how to turn ideas, stories, and strategic concepts into compelling visual artwork that people want to engage with, share, and remember.

This is a hands on creator role supporting Minecraft's global marketing and social efforts across owned, earned, and paid channels. You will create high-quality 3D artwork, visual concepts, mockups, sketches, key visuals, and presentation ready creative that supports social media, paid media, marketing campaigns, franchise moments, and broader storytelling initiatives. You will partner closely with Creative, Marketing and Social teams to help bring ideas to life in ways that feel playful, relevant, and unmistakably Minecraft.

The focus is visual storytelling and concept development. You will help transform ideas into tangible creative expressions that can be used across marketing campaigns, social content, events, product launches, and community initiatives. Whether creating polished key art, visual explorations, concepts, or campaign mockups, your work will help shape how audiences experience Minecraft around the world.

We're looking for someone who thinks like both an artist and a visual communicator. You know how to take a creative brief, define a visual direction, and articulate concepts through sketches, mockups, and finished artwork. You are comfortable working across multiple levels of fidelity, from rapid concept exploration to final execution, and are excited to experiment with new tools, workflows, and AI enabled creative processes.

You'll be part of a highly collaborative team, working with Creative, Marketing, Social and Production partners to help Minecraft feel alive, current, and deeply connected to the community that plays it.
