Job Description

We are looking for a Sr. Art Director to join our Creative Operations team in New York City. This role sits at the intersection of creative leadership, brand strategy, and emerging technology — overseeing brand partnerships content while driving consistency and innovation across our creative output.

You will be a key creative leader within a global studio network spanning New York, London, and Barcelona, partnering closely with producers, technologists, and cross-functional stakeholders to deliver world-class content at scale. This is a hybrid strategic and hands-on role that requires equal comfort setting creative vision and rolling up your sleeves to execute.

Key job responsibilities
1. Brand Partnerships Creative Leadership: Own the art direction for key brand partnerships content, ensuring all deliverables meet the highest standards of quality, brand alignment, and storytelling

2. Content Consistency & Innovation: Act as a creative authority and guardian of visual standards across campaigns and e-commerce — establishing and evolving style guides, templates, and quality benchmarks

3. Virtual Production & AI Workflows: Support the integration of virtual production techniques and AI-driven creative workflows into day-to-day content creation, collaborating with our Technical Director and AI & Hybrid Workflows Designer to push content boundaries

4. Strategic & Tactical Execution: Balance long-term creative strategy (roadmaps, capability development, trend forecasting) with tactical delivery (concepting, art direction, shoot oversight, post-production review)

5. External Stakeholder Management: Build and maintain strong relationships with brand partners, agencies, and external vendors — navigating ambiguity, aligning on creative vision, and managing expectations with professionalism and clarity

6. Cross-Functional Collaboration: Partner with Executive Producers, Studio Managers, and Design Technologists to ensure seamless creative execution across studios and workstreams

A day in the life
Your day moves between creative strategy and hands-on execution. You might start by aligning with brand partners on campaign direction, then head to set to oversee a shoot — checking that every project meets the creative bar. In between, you're evaluating AI and virtual production outputs, refining visual standards, and giving feedback to your team. You're equally comfortable presenting concepts to external stakeholders, navigating ambiguity, and making real-time creative calls. No two days look the same, but the throughline is always craft, innovation, and partnership.

About the team

Our studios in New York, London, and Barcelona are at the forefront of integrating AI, virtual production, and traditional craft to redefine how content is created at scale.

Company Information

Company Name: Amazon.com Services LLC - A57

Company Website: https://www.amazon.com

Company Address: 410 Terry Avenue North, Seattle, WA 98109, United States

Amazon.com Services LLC is a principal operating subsidiary within the broader Amazon corporate family that supports and delivers a wide range of e-commerce and related services for Amazon’s retail and marketplace operations. Formed as a limited liability company under U.S. law, Amazon.com Services LLC serves as an operational vehicle through which Amazon provides platform services to third-party sellers, facilitates retail transactions, manages logistics and fulfillment operations, and supports the consumer-facing online storefronts hosted at Amazon.com. As part of Amazon’s corporate structure, Amazon.com Services LLC participates in the company’s mission and commercial activities that enable millions of customers and sellers to buy and sell goods worldwide. At a high level, Amazon.com Services LLC’s core business activities encompass the digital marketplace and associated services that are central to Amazon’s e-commerce ecosystem. These activities include enabling and managing the third-party seller marketplace (the platform on which independent merchants list products for sale alongside Amazon’s direct retail offerings), administering seller-facing programs such as seller account management and performance tools, and providing fulfillment services such as Fulfillment by Amazon (FBA), where warehousing, picking, packing, and shipping are handled through Amazon’s logistics network. The company’s responsibilities also commonly include elements of payments processing, transaction settlements between buyers and third-party sellers, customer service interfaces related to marketplace transactions, and enforcement of marketplace policies and standards to maintain trust and safety on the platform. In operational terms, Amazon.com Services LLC supports a set of products and services aimed at both consumers and business partners. For consumers, the principal product is the shopping experience on Amazon’s sites and apps—search, product detail pages, shopping cart, checkout, order tracking, returns, and customer support—powered by underlying services that Amazon.com Services LLC helps to administer. For third-party sellers and businesses, the company provides onboarding and account management services, inventory and order management tools, access to fulfillment and shipping options (including FBA), reporting and analytics tools, dispute resolution and seller support channels, and services tied to advertising and promotional placements on Amazon’s platform. The company’s work supports integration points for developer partners and software vendors that build seller tools, inventory management systems, and analytic integrations for marketplace participants. Amazon.com Services LLC operates within an environment that heavily leverages technology to scale retail operations. Key technological elements tied to its activities include catalog management systems, search and recommendation engines, merchant dashboards and APIs, order-routing and fulfillment orchestration systems, and tools for fraud detection and policy enforcement. While Amazon maintains various distinct corporate entities and product lines across retail, cloud computing, devices, and media, Amazon.com Services LLC’s primary orientation is toward enabling and executing e-commerce operations on behalf of Amazon’s retail and marketplace businesses. This includes coordination with Amazon’s logistics facilities (fulfillment centers and delivery networks), supply-chain partners, and customer-care operations to deliver end-to-end retail experiences. Amazon.com Services LLC also plays a role in Amazon’s commercial and regulatory interactions tied to marketplace operations. As an operating entity, it participates in contractual relationships with sellers and service providers, implements platform-level policy changes, and is involved in local and international compliance matters where Amazon’s marketplace and retail operations are active. Through these functions, the entity helps implement Amazon’s broader policies around product listings, seller performance standards, consumer protections, and marketplace integrity—elements that are foundational to maintaining a large-scale online retail marketplace. Geographically, Amazon.com Services LLC contributes to operations across many of Amazon’s global markets by supporting localized marketplace features, cross-border selling programs, and logistics solutions tailored to regional requirements. Its activity set is integrated with Amazon’s global investments in fulfillment infrastructure, transportation networks, and customer support operations. This integration allows Amazon to offer services such as fast delivery (including Prime-specific benefits where applicable), multi-channel fulfillment, and international shipping options that depend on the coordination of marketplace services with physical logistics. Finally, Amazon’s stated corporate mission—posted on Amazon’s official channels as seeking to be “Earth’s most customer-centric company”—provides context for the role of Amazon.com Services LLC within the wider organization: delivering a reliable, convenient, and expansive shopping experience to consumers while enabling millions of businesses worldwide to reach customers through Amazon’s platforms. As such, Amazon.com Services LLC is an important operational element underpinning Amazon’s e-commerce capabilities, focused on marketplace enablement, fulfillment and logistics coordination, seller services, and the technology-driven systems that make large-scale online retail feasible and efficient.
