About the Role

As a Senior Art Director, you'll be a hands-on creative force within a multidisciplinary team led by the Group Creative Director. You’ll help bring big ideas to life, executing standout work across digital, social, and video with a sharp eye for craft, storytelling, and design excellence.

This role sits in the details — designing, building, and refining creative assets — while contributing to broader campaign narratives and visual systems. You’ll collaborate closely with Creative Directors, Designers, Copywriters, Producers, and Strategists to deliver work that feels native to the platform, on-brand for a major client (one of the world’s leading e-commerce and technology platforms), and scalable across markets.

We’re looking for a Senior Art Director who is fluent in digital design, strong in visual storytelling, and comfortable creating high-quality work at speed. You’ll bring both conceptual thinking and pixel-perfect execution, along with AI fluency to help evolve and activate an established brand system across multiple sub-brands and channels.

This is not a role focused on building new brands from scratch. It’s about taking an existing brand system and bringing it to life — pushing it forward thoughtfully, expressing it with clarity and consistency, and elevating the work at scale. You’ll operate within a complex, multi-brand ecosystem, creating concepts, visual systems, and executions that feel fresh while remaining unmistakably on-brand.

Working Hours
This role is remote, but the team operates on Pacific Time (PST/PDT). Candidates must be able to work primarily within these hours.

** This is a 3–6 month temporary role with the potential to be extended or converted to a full-time position.

Responsibilities:

• Create and execute visual concepts across digital, social, and video formats.
• Develop layouts, mockups, prototypes, and production-ready assets with a high level of polish.
• Safeguard visual quality across all deliverables, maintaining consistency with Amazon’s design system and narrative tone of voice (“Charm and Disarm”).
• Contribute to style frames and visual systems that scale across formats, regions, and channels.
  
• Support campaign storytelling through visual development and storyboarding.
• Help translate creative briefs into compelling visual narratives, particularly for motion, film, and animation-based work.
• Partner with Copywriters and Creative Directors to ensure ideas land clearly and emotionally.
  
• Use AI tools daily to support concepting, exploration, and iteration
• Generate AI visual options efficiently without compromising brand accuracy
• Apply strong judgment to when AI is helpful and when traditional craft is better
  
• Work closely with the Group Creative Director and broader creative team to execute campaigns from concept through delivery.
• Collaborate with Strategists, Account Leads, and Producers to ensure creative aligns with project goals and timelines.
• Participate in daily stand-ups and creative reviews to maintain alignment and momentum.
• Use Figma confidently for collaborative design, layout development, and feedback cycles.
  
• Help produce assets at scale using tools and workflows, including AI-assisted production.
• Contribute ideas to improve creative processes, templates, and efficiencies.
• Stay current on design trends, platform best practices, and emerging creative formats.
  
• Maintain high standards across all outputs, ensuring thoughtful design, strong storytelling, and attention to detail.
• Take ownership of assigned deliverables from start to finish.
  

About You

The essentials:

• 5+ years of experience as a Senior Designer, Lead Designer, or Art Director within agency, advertising, or production environments
• Strong portfolio demonstrating both conceptual thinking and hands-on execution across digital, social, and video
• Advanced proficiency in Photoshop and Figma, with experience creating high-volume digital assets at speed
• Proven experience working within and evolving established brand systems across multiple formats and channels
• Strong foundation in typography, layout, composition, visual hierarchy, and storytelling
• Fluency in AI tools within a design workflow (e.g., Midjourney, Runway, etc.) — using AI as an amplifier for craft and iteration, not a shortcut
• A strong visual and photographic eye, with attention to realism, detail, and brand consistency
• Ability to balance speed and quality in a fast-paced, high-output environment
• Comfortable working in collaborative, cross-functional teams and presenting ideas internally and to clients
• Strong English communication skills and experience working with global teams

What sets you apart:

• Comfortable iterating quickly and adapting work based on feedback without being overly attached to a single direction
• Curious and up to date with visual culture, trends, and emerging tools
• Hands-on across the full design process — not limited to retouching or a single discipline
• Positive, collaborative, and proactive in contributing ideas

Nice to have:

• Film or animation production experience, including storyboarding and narrative development
