Experience: We stage live, immersive, and physical moments that let people can see and touch, building belief and trust through everything from global conference activations to interactive installations.

Overview

Who We Are Seeking

Left Field Labs is expanding our bench of senior freelance talent across creative technology, technical direction, and experiential production. We’re looking for battle-tested specialists who have delivered complex interactive installations, spatial computing, and physical-digital environments at scale—and who thrive stepping into active client pipelines.

At Left Field Labs, we design and build category-defining spatial and digital environments. Our work spans multi-year enterprise briefing centers, interactive trade show activations, custom physical fabrication, and real-time software systems for our partners.

We value non-linear career paths and experience gained across live events, theater, film, museums, architecture, and agency work. What matters is that you've personally led experiential projects through install and show. If that's you and you don't match every bullet, we still want to hear from you.

This position is remote with frequent travel to client sites, fabrication shops, and show floors (e.g., 25–40%).
