Lead Automotive Design Consultant

About us

At Gravity Sketch, we’re on a mission to revolutionise 3D design by making it accessible, intuitive, and collaborative. Our platform empowers designers across industries—from automotive to footwear and beyond—to bring their ideas to life in an immersive, real‑time 3D environment. We are at an exciting stage in our journey as we continue to build our product to unlock clear communication and collaboration between design and engineering teams, drive adoption of our platform, and foster a thriving user community.

Overview

We are looking for a Lead Automotive Design Consultant to drive the adoption and strategic impact of Gravity Sketch across our most important automotive and industrial design customers. This senior individual contributor role will lead by expertise and example, owning complex customer engagements, shaping how Gravity Sketch is embedded into design workflows, and setting the standard for consulting excellence across the team. You will partner closely with Customer Success, Sales, and Product to influence how leading clients adopt VR in their design processes. This role combines deep hands‑on delivery, strategic account ownership, and internal influence. It is crucial to achieving our vision of disrupting the design process positively and will be part of an established team delivering outcomes across multiple high‑profile clients.

Responsibilities

• Set the benchmark for how Gravity Sketch is applied within automotive design workflows, staying at the forefront of developments across 3D, VR, and AI to deliver innovative, customer‑focused solutions and workflows.
• Develop and share best practices, reusable frameworks, and new workflow approaches to drive scalable success within the team.
• Influence how the wider Design Consulting team approaches delivery through your work and expertise.
• Lead complex onboarding programs, advanced workshops, and cross‑functional training sessions that unlock concrete value for the client.
• Work across design, engineering, and leadership teams to embed new ways of working.
• Tailor your delivery to a wide range of audiences, from hands‑on designers to senior stakeholders.
• Work closely with the Customer Success manager to align on account strategy and rollout plans.
• Collaborate with Sales on late‑stage opportunities and strategic demos.
• Provide structured feedback to Product based on real customer workflows and challenges.
• Drive user engagement, planning and delivering demos, training, pilots and project support across multiple audiences.
• Take ownership of creating scalable training content that inspires cross‑functional users across design, engineering, CMF and other business functions to use the tool in their workflows.
• Partner with leadership to own quarterly planning across the account.
• Define and meticulously track success metrics across engagements, building compelling narratives around adoption, workflow transformation, and ROI, and communicate these outcomes internally and externally.
• Monitor and allocate the resources needed to support our customers depending on where they are in their journey.

Requirements

• Willing to travel quarterly at manager’s discretion for onsite delivery.
• 5+ years of experience working with software in automotive design.
  • Adobe Suite, Gravity Sketch and other 3D, AI and CAD programs (e.g., Rhino, Alias, Catia, Modo, KeyShot, Blender, Vizcom – not all are required).
• Advanced knowledge of using Gravity Sketch in the automotive design process. Knowledge of the design process in industrial design or engineering is a plus.
• Strong understanding of automotive design workflows (concept → Class‑A surfacing → visualization).
• Excellent structure and organization, with strong attention to detail and strong teaming skills.
• Highly self‑directed; able to operate autonomously and lead engagements without close supervision.
• Strong organizational skills, with the ability to manage multiple high‑impact projects.
• Comfortable working in a hybrid, globally distributed team.

• Grit: positive attitude, strong teamwork skills, and hunger for success; not afraid to roll up sleeves and help out wherever needed.
• People‑oriented: excellent communicator—both written and verbal in English; great listening and relationship‑building skills; ability to adjust communication styles to varying personality types.

(We recognise this is a rare combination—candidates with strong automotive experience and adjacent VR/tool experience are encouraged to apply.)
