You sign up for bold action and invigorating synergy. You agree to face—and break through—new challenges every single day.

Every role at Trove Brands is critical to our successful functioning as a whole. Your specific responsibilities as a part of Team Trove will include:

We are seeking a talented 3D Specialist focusing on creating visual content for a wide range of consumer products including bottles and supplements. The ideal candidate should excel in both high and low-key lighting environments, possess advanced skills in realistic water and liquid simulations, as well as be skilled in compositing techniques.

Responsibilities:

  • Develop high-quality photorealistic images and videos of our products.
  • Accurately texture products using physically based materials.
  • Create and animate 3D assets, including strong animation work.
  • Edit animations into cohesive final videos, including color correction, sound design, and music selection.
  • Own 3D video projects end to end, from concept through final delivery.

We seek team members who are adept at contributing their personal expertise to a collaborative work environment. For this role, we're looking for someone with the following skills and experience:

Required Qualifications:

  • 3+ years of professional experience creating photorealistic 3D product visualizations, animations, or related digital content.
  • Strong portfolio demonstrating high-quality, product-focused 3D work, including consumer products, packaged goods, or physical products. Portfolios centered on character animation, architectural visualization, automotive rendering, or gaming assets will not be considered.
  • Expert proficiency in industry-standard 3D software such as Blender, Cinema 4D, Houdini, or similar platforms.
  • Advanced understanding of photorealistic rendering, physically based lighting, materials, texturing, and real-world product presentation.
  • Proven experience creating compelling 3D product animations that effectively communicate product features, functionality, and brand storytelling.
  • Strong 3D modeling skills, including reference-based modeling and accurate recreation of physical products.
  • Experience collaborating with creative, marketing, and product teams to execute projects from concept through final delivery.
  • Excellent communication, organization, and problem-solving skills.

Preferred Qualifications:

  • Experience creating realistic dust, liquid, water, or particle simulations to enhance product storytelling and visual impact.
  • Experience with photo scanning, LiDAR scanning, and other techniques for capturing real-world products and environments.
  • Knowledge of compositing workflows and post-production tools such as Adobe After Effects or Nuke.
  • Experience working with consumer brands, e-commerce, advertising, or product marketing content.

Our culture is passionate, entrepreneurial, and energetic. We value innovation through collaboration. And while we work smart and hard, we also connect and celebrate with equal gusto. We host team-building activities, athletic events, and seasonal celebrations to foster community and reward accomplishments. Bottom line? You'll love it here.

Among the many benefits our team members enjoy are:

  • Comprehensive medical, dental, and vision care
  • 401k package with employer matching
  • Paid Time Off
  • Maternity/Paternity leave
  • Full indoor basketball/volleyball court
