Studio Director

The Studio

BREAKFAST is a world-renowned art studio with a reputation for conceiving and producing some of the most high-tech, connected artworks in the world. BREAKFAST’s work has found its way into various museums, lobbies, stadiums, and public spaces. 

All of this has been achieved by a group of 8 full-time employees. We believe strongly in hiring extremely talented people who work together to do great things in the most efficient manner. While we plan to expand incrementally, we aim to keep our table small and only invite the very best to join.

The Position

BREAKFAST specializes in crafting some of the most complex and unique artworks in the world. As such, we seek problem solvers of the highest caliber. The Studio Director will be the glue holding our extremely talented team together, and ultimately be responsible for ensuring smooth production and delivery of all our work.

The Studio Director will have their eye on all aspects of the studio, ensuring nothing slips through the cracks. They will have a strong love for both technology and art, as success will only be achieved if they have a natural desire to understand the inner workings of everything we build.
