Prime Video Shopping is seeking an experienced Creative Director to own creative art direction for consumer products tied to Amazon MGM Studios intellectual properties, and to own product development for a portfolio of licensees. This role sits at the intersection of franchise creative direction, licensee product development, and creative operations, requiring a leader who can set the visual bar for consumer products based on iconic Amazon MGM Studios franchises, guide licensees from concept through approval, and help evolve how creative work gets done through process and tooling.
As a Creative Director, you will own the creative direction for assigned franchises’ consumer product programs — working with internal design teams to build style guides and art packs that set the creative course, then disseminating them to a broad base of licensees who use them to build products. Separately, you will own product development for an assigned base of licensee partners whose work spans many franchises, serving as their creative point of contact from concept through approval. Alongside the rest of the team, you will drive operational and tooling improvements to scale creative productivity.
A successful candidate will excel at art direction and design craft, thrive on turning early content materials into franchise creative that recruits licensees, and enjoy improving the processes that let a small team deliver more. The ideal candidate is resourceful, customer-obsessed, and able to think and act both strategically and tactically — balancing subjective and objective feedback across internal and external stakeholders while consistently raising the design bar.
Candidates should have an in-depth understanding of AI tools, Photoshop, Illustrator, PowerPoint, and Figma.
Key job responsibilities
Franchise Creative Art Direction — Own and protect the creative bar for assigned intellectual properties. Develop the comprehensive consumer products style guides and asset systems (compositions, icons, patterns, packaging, color palettes, fonts, and layouts) that set the creative direction for a franchise. Translate the earliest content materials (scripts, set photography, key art) into assets that pitch the franchise to prospective licensees, and inspire final consumer products.
Licensee Product Development — Own product development for an assigned base of licensee partners. Because partners are assigned by relationship rather than by franchise, this base spans many franchises, and you serve as their single point of contact from concept through approval. Review and approve product development (PD) submissions against style guides and brand standards, onboard new partners to the approval workflow, and lead partner presentations and kick-off meetings.
Creative Operations & Process Improvement — Work with the rest of the creative team to move from manual creative toward a more scaled operation. Provide art direction for main style guides and art packs produced in partnership with internal designers, contribute to the processes that hand routine production to the scaled team, and help develop the path to produce direct designs through AI tooling.
Stakeholder Communication — Present creative solutions and franchise direction to senior leadership and licensee partners, anticipate difficult design questions, and defend design decisions with clear rationale. Resolve conflicting feedback across internal and external stakeholders and move decisions forward.
Mentorship & Force Multiplying — Mentor and develop others on the team, document institutional knowledge, and deliver solutions that increase the effectiveness of the group, including championing the use of AI technology in creative contexts.
BASIC QUALIFICATIONS
- 8+ years of design experience
- Have an available online portfolio
- Experience art directing motion designers, illustrators, writers and content creators
- Knowledge of variety of design tools including Illustrator, InDesign, and Photoshop
PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS
- Knowledge of marketing fundamentals and ability to implement them to create dynamic advertising solutions
- Knowledge of typographic and brand design principles

Get Access To All JobsTips for Finding E-3 Visa Sponsorship in Creative
Frame your portfolio around specialty occupation
U.S. consular officers assess whether your role requires a specific bachelor's degree, not just creative talent. Structure your portfolio and resume to show the direct connection between your creative degree and the technical demands of the role.
Target studios with established LCA filing history
Agencies and in-house creative teams that have filed Labor Condition Applications before move faster through E-3 visa paperwork. Search DOL disclosure data to identify employers who have sponsored creative roles, then prioritize those in your outreach.
Clarify your degree equivalency before interviews
Australian three-year creative degrees are generally accepted as equivalent to a U.S. four-year bachelor's degree, but your employer's immigration counsel may request a credential evaluation. Get this documentation ready before you receive an offer so it doesn't delay your LCA.
Negotiate LCA filing into your offer timeline
DOL certifies most LCAs within seven business days, but your employer needs to post the certified LCA at the worksite for ten consecutive business days before it's valid. Build this into your start-date negotiation so neither side is caught off guard.
Use Migrate Mate's E-3 filing service for the paperwork
Creative professionals often work at small studios or startups that have never sponsored a visa. Migrate Mate's E-3 filing service handles the LCA, DS-160, and consulate preparation end-to-end, so your employer doesn't need prior immigration experience to get it done.
Address freelance or contract work history directly
If your background includes freelance projects rather than full-time roles, prepare a clear narrative for your consular interview. Officers want to see that your offered position is a bona fide employer-employee relationship, not an extension of independent contracting.
E-3 Visa Creative: Frequently Asked Questions
How do I find Creative jobs that offer E-3 visa sponsorship?
Migrate Mate is built specifically for Australian professionals searching for E-3 visa sponsorship in the U.S. Rather than filtering through generic job boards, you can search Creative roles where employers are already familiar with or open to the E-3 process, saving time and avoiding outreach to companies that won't sponsor.
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.
Do Creative roles qualify as a specialty occupation for the E-3?
Creative roles qualify when the position genuinely requires a bachelor's degree in a specific field such as graphic design, industrial design, UX, or advertising. A general requirement for 'creativity' or 'experience' won't meet the standard. Roles with vague degree requirements, such as 'any bachelor's degree,' are harder to support and may draw consular scrutiny.
How does the E-3 compare to the H-1B for Creative professionals?
The E-3 has a 10,500 annual cap that has never been fully used, so there's no lottery and no random selection. H-1B visa applicants enter a lottery with roughly a one-in-four chance of selection in recent years. For Australian creative professionals, the E-3 means a qualified candidate with a job offer can proceed to a consular interview without waiting for a lottery outcome.
What happens to my E-3 status if I change Creative employers?
The E-3 is employer-specific, so changing jobs requires a new LCA and a new visa stamp or a change of status application. You don't need to leave the U.S. to switch employers, but you can't start work with a new employer until the new LCA is certified and the paperwork is in order. Build this into your timeline when evaluating new opportunities.
