Now comes the fun part.\nAmazon Leo is looking for a Senior Art Director to help bring our new global brand to life. We’ve got an incredible creative playground: Krypton Purple, Aurora particles, Golden Hour gradients, bold typography, rockets, satellites, and a whole universe of stories waiting to be told.\nWe’re looking for someone with exceptional taste, big ideas, and the craft to bring them to life.

Come make some outrageously cool stuff.\nKey job responsibilities\nAs a Senior Art Director, you’ll help shape the next chapter of Amazon Leo’s visual identity.

You’ll own projects from concept through execution, experiment with emerging tools and technologies, and help raise the bar for design across our global organization.\nWe want someone who can think big, obsess over the details, collaborate without ego, and make work that’s as ambitious as the technology behind it.\nA day in the life\nYour morning starts with a new creative challenge. Maybe it’s a campaign for a rocket launch, an illustration that makes satellite technology look cool, or a completely unexpected use of our Aurora particles. You’ve got Krypton, Golden Hour, and a whole brand system to play with. Now make something great.\nAfter lunch, you’re debating jacket designs with a Creative Director, experimenting with AI, or building Figma tools that help our global teams move faster without making everything look the same.\nSome days you’re sketching big ideas. Others you’re obsessing over typography, refining an illustration, or finding a new way to bring Krypton to life. That’s the fun part.\nAbout the team\nWe’re the creative team behind Amazon Leo, bringing a new global brand to life.\nWe’re a team of Creative Directors, designers, producers, editors, and storytellers who love great ideas and care deeply about craft.

We love beautiful design, great storytelling, and the little details that make good work great. We’re not afraid to experiment, challenge each other, or try something completely new.\nWe’ve built the brand. Now we get to show the world what it can do. And we’re just getting warmed up.\nBasic qualifications\n- 8+ years of driving compelling creative strategy and execution at an agency or in-house creative team experience\n- Experience in driving compelling creative strategy and execution at an agency or in-house creative team\n- Knowledge of Adobe creative suite (Photoshop, InDesign, Illustrator)\n- Knowledge of typography, design principles, trends and best practices across digital and print\n- Have an online portfolio demonstrating strong visual design skills and advertising experience across a range of media and platforms, along with work that reflects your design process\n- Experience in working with external and internal partners throughout development and production\n- 7+ years of professional experience in art direction, graphic design, or brand design at a creative agency or in-house creative organization.\n- Experience using Figma for visual design, collaborative workflows, and reusable design components.\n- Demonstrated experience applying and extending brand identity systems across multiple formats, campaigns, and creative applications.\n- Experience managing multiple creative projects simultaneously and presenting creative concepts to stakeholders.\nPreferred qualifications\n- Experience working on or with large-scale, global creative campaigns\n- Experience presenting creative concepts effectively to senior executives\n- Experience working independently with minimal supervision, or experience in guiding, training and mentoring others\n- Experience with Unity, Unreal, CryEngine, Lumberyard or proprietary 3D game engine, or industry-equivalent technology (3D animation, simulation, etc), or experience (non-internship) in professional software development\n- Experience managing content development, and campaigns\n- Experience art directing motion designers, illustrators, writers and content creators\n- Experience building, evolving, or scaling global brand design systems, including Figma libraries, reusable components, templates, and visual guidelines.\n- Experience taking ownership of ambiguous creative challenges, making independent design decisions, influencing stakeholders, and delivering work that meets both creative and business objectives.\n- Strong illustration skills, including original artwork, vector illustration, and the ability to develop distinctive visual styles.\n- Experience designing branded merchandise, apparel, packaging, environmental graphics, and physical brand experiences, including knowledge of print and fabrication techniques.\n- Hands-on experience with generative AI tools such as Adobe Firefly, Midjourney, Runway, or similar platforms for concept development, image generation, and creative experimentation.\n- Experience using generative AI, automation, and scripting tools to streamline repetitive design tasks, accelerate creative production, and improve workflows across digital and physical brand applications.\n- Experience developing scalable design systems and production infrastructure, including Figma component libraries, templates, asset management tools, and automated workflows that support consistent global brand execution.\n- Experience creating custom plugins, scripts, macros, or integrations across Figma, Adobe Creative Cloud, and other design applications to extend creative capabilities and improve production efficiency.\nAmazon is an equal opportunity employer and does not discriminate on the basis of protected veteran status, disability, or other legally protected status.\nOur inclusive culture empowers Amazonians to deliver the best results for our customers.
