🏢 Company: Illuminart 🌍 Location: Hybrid, Australia — Blue Mountains / Western Sydney preferred; remote candidates who can commute to projects in Blue Mountains, Adelaide, and regional SA/NSW considered 💻 Type: Project-Based / Contract with potential ongoing role 💸 Pay: Not disclosed 🚀 Apply: Please comment below, You'll receive the link / contact via DM (This is to reduce spam for indie hiring teams / clients) 🛠️ Skills and requirements; - Real experience in AV, projection, or technical delivery for events and public installations — mandatory - Strong experience with projection mapping, lighting, or AV systems for large-scale public or outdoor environments — mandatory - Comfortable working in real-world, messy conditions: public space, evolving briefs, imperfect infrastructure, and overlapping creative–technical contexts — mandatory - Ability to scope systems, prepare quotes, and produce clear, practical implementation plans — mandatory - Translate high-level creative ideas into buildable, technically feasible outcomes — mandatory - Work with and lead across creative, production, supplier, and fabrication teams — mandatory - Strong ownership mindset — able to make decisions and stand by them without waiting for full definition upfront — mandatory - Excellent communication and collaboration skills with artists, producers, fabricators, and technical suppliers — mandatory - Preferably based in or able to work from Blue Mountains / Western Sydney; must be able to travel to project sites in SA/NSW/Adelaide as needed — mandatory - Bonus: Experience with permanent projection installations, feasibility studies, or fabrication-led sculptures with budget and transport constraints 💡 Stand Out By: Illuminart is an Australian studio creating story-driven, projection-based artworks and immersive experiences in public space — often in regional and technically complex environments. This is not a “clean studio AV” role but a field-based technical directorship — you must demonstrate comfort operating in real-world conditions where infrastructure, weather, and community constraints are core to the design. Your application should spotlight messy, on-the-ground projects: projection mappings with difficult surfaces, outdoor lighting constraints, feasibility studies, or fabrication-led installations under tight budget and transport limits. Focus on how you scope, communicate, and drive projects forward when everything is not defined — that is the core value the studio seeks.

🏢 Company: Unity 🌍 Location: Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates 💻 Type: Contract Position 💸 Pay: Not listed (shared during hiring process) 🚀 Apply: https://unity.com/careers/positions/7542220 🛠️ Skills and requirements - Experience in program delivery, education, or skills development initiatives. - Strong project management skills for Middle East skills‑building programs. - Ability to shape Unity's impact on national skills strategies in UAE. - Collaboration with creators, developers, and technologists for training programs. - Understanding of Unity ecosystem for game dev, XR, and interactive experiences. - Experience supporting emerging talent and long‑term regional tech growth. 👤 Reach Out To: Brandon Roney 💡 Stand Out By: Arabic fluency and direct Middle East government stakeholder experience are the two hardest filters here. Lead with specific national skilling, edtech, or workforce development programs you have owned end-to-end. UAE or GCC public sector partnership credits are a direct differentiator. 💰 Pay Analysis: No rate disclosed for a senior contract role in Abu Dhabi. Comparable program delivery manager roles in UAE public sector partnerships typically range AED 18,000-28,000/month tax-free. Unity is a global tech brand so push toward the upper end. Relocation package adds meaningful upfront value for non-UAE candidates. 🚩 Watch For: Contract status with no disclosed duration so confirm length and renewal terms before accepting. Abu Dhabi on-site is mandatory despite tech industry remote norms. Arabic fluency is a hard requirement so non-Arabic speakers should not apply. Unity has gone through significant global restructuring and layoffs in 2023-2024 so verify project continuity and funding stability for this regional program. Lead Id: 15649
