The Role
Hand a blank artboard to most people and they freeze; hand it to you and a campaign falls out, which is why Amazon is hiring an Art Director. What sets the offer apart is trust — $128,000 - $187,000 and internship hours are nice, but the creative ownership is the headline.
Key Responsibilities
- Interrogate a brief until the real ask underneath it surfaces
- Hand engineering specs tight enough that the build matches the mock
- Shape the visual language of Amazon's social, email, and ad creative
- Read the room mid-presentation and reorder the deck on the fly
- Storyboard motion pieces that hold attention past the three-second scroll mark
- Produce polished assets using Adobe InDesign and Information Architecture from concept through final delivery
- Localize creative for the Pittsburgh, PA market while preserving brand consistency
What You'll Bring
- The kind of curiosity that reads the docs before asking
- The grit to debug at 4pm on a Friday without complaint
- The patience to mentor without taking over the keyboard
- A point of view, held loosely and defended well
- Knowledge of PA-specific regulations relevant to creative work
- Ability to learn new creative systems quickly and apply them effectively
