Amazon Design Excellence is looking for a versatile, hands-on Art Director of Brand & Content to bring Amazon Design's visual identity to life across brand, marketing, events, and digital platforms. In this role, you'll be responsible for the day-to-day creative production that makes Amazon's design community look and feel cohesive, polished, and distinctive at every touchpoint.
You will develop and produce creative deliverables end-to-end across a wide range of formats: event branding and signage, marketing campaigns, website pages, newsletters, social content, and external-facing brand assets. You'll work across digital, print, motion, experiential, and environmental design, and you'll be the person ensuring that Amazon Design's web presence is visually sharp, well-structured, and consistently on-brand. This means rolling up your sleeves on layout, typography, asset production, and visual QA just as often as you're developing a creative concept.
This is an individual contributor role on the ADX team. You'll partner with program managers across community engagement, events, communications, learning & development, and external reputation to translate their goals into compelling creative work. The ideal candidate has strong conceptual thinking and a wide range of craft skills, but what really sets them apart is the ability to move fast, manage multiple projects in parallel, and consistently deliver high-quality production assets across formats and channels without losing the thread on brand coherence.
Key job responsibilities
Brand & Visual Identity
- Maintain and evolve the Amazon Design visual identity across ADX touchpoints. Keep brand guidelines, templates, and asset libraries current so the broader team can create on-brand content quickly and independently.
- Build and maintain scalable design systems, component libraries, and production templates that reduce turnaround time and improve consistency across deliverables.
Web Design & Digital Content
- Design page layouts, visual hierarchy, and reusable components for the Amazon.design website. Create page templates and design frameworks that content producers can publish into with confidence.
- Produce custom graphics, hero imagery, illustrations, and visual assets for articles, case studies, and features published on the site.
- Ensure all published content is polished, on-brand, and displays correctly across devices and breakpoints.
- Partner with the Copy Strategist to translate editorial content into visually compelling page experiences.
- Design monthly newsletters and email campaigns with visual layouts that drive engagement.
Events Creative
- Execute creative production for Conflux (Amazon's internal design conference), Town Halls, and other community events, including marketing collateral, signage, environmental graphics, and promotional materials at all scales.
- Coordinate content capture (photography, video, written recaps) during events for post-event storytelling across digital channels.
Marketing & Communications
- Create visual assets for internal and external campaigns across email, social, digital platforms, and the Amazon Design website.
- Produce year-in-review and milestone storytelling pieces with visual narratives that amplify the design community's impact.
BASIC QUALIFICATIONS
- Have an online portfolio demonstrating strong visual design skills and advertising experience across a range of media and platforms, along with work that reflects your design process
- Knowledge of branding guidelines and corporate identity, visual design, print and digital layout design
- 3+ years of professional experience in art direction, graphic design, visual design, or content production
- Familiarity with generative AI tools and their application in creative workflows
PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS
- Experience with motion design
- Experience designing and prototyping with tools such as Figma, Adobe Creative Cloud, or similar
- Familiarity with generative AI tools and their application in creative workflows
- Experience designing for large-scale events (conferences, summits, activations)

Get Access To All JobsTips for Finding E-3 Visa Sponsorship in Art Director
Translate your Australian portfolio credentials
A three-year Australian bachelor's degree in visual communication, graphic design, or fine arts satisfies the E-3 visa specialty occupation degree requirement. Get an official academic transcript ready before outreach, as U.S. employers will need it for the Labor Condition Application.
Target agencies with in-house immigration infrastructure
Advertising networks, integrated agencies, and large brand studios file LCAs regularly and have established HR processes for E-3 sponsorship. Smaller boutique shops may be willing but unfamiliar with the process, so factor onboarding time into your timeline.
Use Migrate Mate to find verified sponsoring employers
Searching broadly misses the employers who have actually sponsored E-3 or H-1B visa workers before. Migrate Mate filters Art Director roles by sponsorship history so you're applying to employers already set up to move quickly through the LCA and visa steps.
Clarify the LCA scope before signing an offer
The DOL Labor Condition Application locks in your job title, worksite, and prevailing wage before you can apply. Make sure your offer letter matches the LCA exactly, including whether the role is remote, hybrid, or a specific office location, to avoid amendment delays.
Frame your specialty occupation case around degree necessity
USCIS requires that the Art Director role normally demands a specific bachelor's degree, not just prefer one. If your employer's job posting says 'degree preferred,' ask them to revise it to 'required' before the LCA is filed, or the specialty occupation determination may be challenged.
Streamline filing with end-to-end support
Coordinating the LCA, DS-160, and consulate appointment across different agencies is where timelines slip. Migrate Mate's E-3 filing service manages the entire process from offer to consulate appointment, reducing back-and-forth between you and your employer.
E-3 Visa Art Director: Frequently Asked Questions
Where can I find Art Director jobs with E-3 visa sponsorship?
Migrate Mate is built specifically for Australian professionals searching for U.S. roles by visa sponsorship history. You can filter Art Director positions by employers who have filed LCAs or sponsored workers before, which cuts out the guesswork of cold-applying to companies that have never run an E-3 before and don't know how to start.
How much does it cost to get an E-3 visa?
Migrate Mate's E-3 filing service covers the entire process for $499, including the Labor Condition Application, visa document preparation, and consulate appointment guidance. Traditional immigration lawyers charge $2,000–$5,000+ for the same work. The E-3 has less paperwork than most work visas, so paying thousands for legal help is usually unnecessary.
Does an Art Director role qualify as a specialty occupation for the E-3?
Yes, provided the position normally requires a bachelor's degree or higher in a specific field such as graphic design, visual communication, fine arts, or a directly related discipline. The key is that the degree must be a standard entry requirement for the role, not just one pathway among many. If the employer's job description lists a degree as preferred rather than required, that framing can create problems during LCA review.
How does the E-3 compare to the H-1B for Art Director roles?
The E-3 is available only to Australian citizens and has no lottery, no annual cap backlog, and no registration fee. H-1B selection is random, capped at 85,000 per fiscal year, and requires waiting until October 1 for work authorization even if selected. For an Art Director with an Australian passport, the E-3 is a far more predictable path. H-1B is the fallback for non-Australians or for roles at cap-exempt institutions.
Can I switch Art Director employers while on an E-3?
Yes, but your new employer must file a fresh LCA with the DOL and you'll need a new E-3 visa stamp unless you change employers without leaving the U.S. and your status is maintained through a timely filed change of employer. There is no portability rule like AC21 for the E-3, so do not resign before your new employer's LCA is certified and your consulate appointment is scheduled.
