Wave’s mission is to unite humanity through immersive 3d entertainment. Our vision is to be the live entertainment hub of the metaverse: a place where anyone can attend, perform live, or be a part of a 24/7 live entertainment community. No matter where or who you are, our platform welcomes you—joining on mobile, streaming a 2D social video, or immersing you in 3D VR. Virtual shows (“Waves”) are the heartbeat of our platform. Unlike other virtual experiences, Waves are unique because they happen live, enabling real-time interaction and connection between performers and audiences.
Come help us define the future of music! Together we'll create amazing experiences for the attendees, and drive creativity for concerts. You’ll be at the forefront of defining the brand, creative positioning, pillars, and cross-channel campaign activations and assets to bring to life the epic and interactive experience at Wave!
Wave is seeking a visionary Creative Director to lead end-to-end creative direction across immersive virtual experiences, live/digital content, and cross-channel marketing.

You will own creative strategy and execution for animation, digital/video content, branding, and experiential design—ensuring Wave’s aesthetic and experiential identity pushes boundaries and sets new standards.

Our mission Since 2014, our Sendwave app has allowed Africans in the US, the UK, and Canada to send money instantly to mobile money wallets in Kenya, Uganda, & Tanzania, saving our users over 70% relative to Western Union and MoneyGram. In 2016, we expanded our scope and began building Wave, a mobile money product for domestic markets in Africa. The problem: Nearly 60% of adults in sub-Saharan Africa had no bank account. That's for good reason — the fees are too high, the closest branch can be miles away, and most merchants only accept cash. Without access to financial institutions, people are forced to keep their savings under the mattress. Small business owners rely on lenders who charge extortionate rates. Parents spend hours waiting in line to pay school fees in cash.How we're solving it: We're building financial services to work as they should: no account fees, instantly available and accepted everywhere. In places where electricity, water and roads don't always function, we're creating financial infrastructure that "just works." At the end of 2017, we launched a mobile app in Senegal for cash deposit, withdrawal, and peer-to-peer and business payments; in 2019, wwe launched in Cote d'Ivoire. Our goal is to make Africa the first cashless continent. That's where you come in... Who are we? We're a distributed HQ team of ~60 people who are deeply passionate about our mission of bringing great financial services to the people who need them most. We have a Country Office in Senegal with about 70 people and have recently opened another Country Office in Cote d’Ivoire. We’re backed by world-class investors including Khosla Ventures, Founders Fund, Y Combinator, and the cofounders of PayPal. Our values We’re egolessly mission driven We focus ruthlessly on the most important thing We’re embarrassingly honest to stay aligned and move quickly We don’t wait – we live our fullest lives now We maximize our rate of learning We're growing quickly, see our job openings below.
