About The Position

shopping destination for customers. We aspire to meet customers where they are
with a steady drumbeat of inspiring, relevant, and automated content that builds
upon recent shopping missions while also introducing them to new and timely
ideas. We do this by combining technology, science, innovation, marketing, and
creativity to build new customer-facing features and experiences alongside tools
for marketers. We are looking for creative, customer-obsessed, curious, and

We're looking for a Visual Designer who is detail-oriented and comfortable with

The Amazon North America Creative team is responsible for crafting bold,

their phones and devices, across the site, in their inboxes—and provide easy
ingresses to the site via beautiful, inclusive, inspiring, and innovative
content. We believe in creative that speaks to our customers, reinforces the
Amazon brand promises (selection, value, and convenience) and highlights our
best offerings—be that top brands, offers, member benefits, etc.—while driving
the business forward and meeting our marketing goals.
