Art Director, Premium, Elevated Shopping

The Amazon Elevated Shopping (éShop) Global Design team is seeking a GenAI Art Director to join our team, supporting the creation of elevated content across Premium workstreams — primarily within fashion and beauty.

Confident presenting to senior leadership, cross-functional partners, and external stakeholders.

• Editorial Delivery — Plan, concept, and execute elevated campaigns and editorial content across seasonal moments — from ideation through to final delivery.

• Visual Storytelling — Create aspirational shopping experiences through sophisticated visual storytelling that resonates with the premium consumer.
• Innovation — Drive innovation in fashion presentation — exploring new formats, technologies, and AI-driven creative approaches while maintaining brand consistency.
• Quality Governance — Ensure consistent visual excellence across all content, acting as quality gatekeeper from concept to publish.
• Design & Layout — Work with Designers to create CX mock-ups and design layouts in Figma that demonstrate and align teams around the creative vision. Develop creative storyboards to support motion and video content direction.

A day in the life
• Art direct and concept innovative creative solutions in collaboration with your team and stakeholders — from campaign ideation and guardrail methodology through to final delivery.
• Oversee GenAI asset creation — reviewing, refining, and approving AI-generated outputs against established quality standards.
• Ensure all creative output meets exacting standards and aligns with Premium brand identity and business objectives.
• Stay current with fashion, design, AI, and technology trends — identifying opportunities for creative innovation and refinement.
