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 as a Creative Manager
Frame your portfolio for specialty occupation
U.S. consular officers assess whether your Creative Manager role requires a specific degree, not just creative talent. Present your portfolio alongside your degree credentials to show the theoretical and technical foundation behind your work.
Target employers with active LCA filing history
Search the DOL's public Labor Condition Application disclosure data to identify companies that have previously filed LCAs for creative or marketing roles. Past filings signal an employer already understands the E-3 visa sponsorship process.
Address your degree field early in interviews
If your degree is in a tangentially related field like business or psychology, prepare a clear explanation of how it directly supports the Creative Manager position. Consular officers can deny E-3 applications when the degree-to-role connection isn't explicit.
Request a specific job title on your offer letter
Vague titles like 'Manager' can complicate LCA filing and consular review. Ask your employer to use a precise title such as 'Creative Manager' or 'Creative Director' that maps cleanly to a DOL Standard Occupational Classification code.
Use Migrate Mate's E-3 filing service for LCA and consulate prep
The LCA must be certified by DOL before your visa application, and the supporting documents for a Creative Manager role require specific framing. Migrate Mate's E-3 filing service manages the entire process from offer to consulate appointment.
Negotiate your start date around visa processing
Australian consulates typically process E-3 applications within a few weeks, but administrative processing can extend timelines unpredictably. Build at least four to six weeks of buffer between your signed offer and your proposed U.S. start date.
E-3 Visa Creative Manager: Frequently Asked Questions
How do I find Creative Manager jobs with E-3 visa sponsorship?
Migrate Mate is built specifically for Australian professionals searching for U.S. roles with E-3 sponsorship. Standard job boards don't filter by visa type, so you end up cold-applying to companies that have never sponsored before. Migrate Mate surfaces employers with E-3 filing history, so your applications go to companies already familiar with the process.
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 a Creative Manager role qualify as a specialty occupation for the E-3?
It can, but the role must require a bachelor's degree in a specific field such as graphic design, communications, marketing, or a related discipline. If the job description accepts any degree or lists a degree as preferred rather than required, consular officers may question whether it meets the specialty occupation standard. A clearly scoped role tied to a specific field is far easier to defend at interview.
How does the E-3 compare to the H-1B for Australian Creative Managers?
The E-3 has no annual lottery and no numerical cap, so you can apply any time of year once you have a qualifying job offer. The H-1B visa is capped at 85,000 per year and requires winning a randomised lottery before your employer can even file a petition. For Australian Creative Managers, the E-3 is a direct path that doesn't depend on luck.
Can I switch Creative Manager employers on an E-3 visa?
Yes, but you need to restart the process with your new employer. Your current E-3 is tied to the specific employer and LCA that sponsored it. Your new employer must file a fresh LCA with DOL and you'll need to attend another consulate appointment, or in some cases file a change of status with USCIS if you're already in the U.S.
