Amazon’s Brand Innovation Lab is looking for a talented and passionate Conceptual Art Director to create one-of-a-kind campaigns focused on Automotive and Restaurants clients in the US. You’ll partner with creative directors, copywriters, designers, solutions managers and producers to create first-class customer experiences both on and offline by innovating with the Amazon canvas (FireTV, Alexa, Twitch, Prime Video, etc). You'll lead projects and own client relationships, focusing on creating work that benefits the end customer while pushing the creative envelope from brief to execution. This is a permanent role.

From inception through launch, you will be responsible for delivering ambitious, insightful, and data-driven concepts that translate needs and constraints into customer-focused brand campaign ideas and solutions. You will be equally strong at concept and execution, articulating end-to-end experiences, and turning that vision into high-quality experiences. This could include video content, user interface designs for voice and screen, interaction models, prototypes, and interactive advertising campaigns. This role will use data and insights to create campaign strategy and concepts, develop designs and the look and feel for experiences, as well as templates for never-before-done brand campaigns and experiences that will solve customer problems, on and off Amazon platforms. In addition to developing never-been-done campaign ideas, candidates should be able to deliver high-quality designs and stellar art direction for campaigns across different Amazon touch points. Candidates should have in-depth understanding of Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign, Powerpoint, and Figma (or an interest to learn Figma). For this role, we’re looking for a conceptual art director who also has very strong design skills and an understanding of UX design.

The Art Director candidate’s portfolio should feature interesting, insight-driven campaigns and ideas that solve an advertiser problem through a variety of different media channels, including but not limited to video, social, digital, activations, radio, and outdoor. You have strong conceptual, presentation, storytelling and time management skills, as well as digital media, and of course, an acute attention to detail.
