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 Senior Art Director
Frame your portfolio for specialty occupation
Your portfolio needs to demonstrate that the role requires a specific degree, not just creative talent. Label each case study with the discipline it draws on, brand strategy, visual communications, or a related field, so your employer can clearly support an LCA filing.
Target employers with in-house LCA experience
Agencies and brand studios that have filed LCAs before move faster and make fewer errors. Search the DOL's Foreign Labor Certification disclosure data to identify which employers have certified Labor Condition Applications for creative director-level roles.
Clarify your degree equivalency before interviews
A three-year Australian bachelor's in design or visual communications is generally accepted as equivalent to a U.S. four-year degree for E-3 visa purposes. Get a credential evaluation done before you receive an offer so there are no delays when the employer files the LCA.
Negotiate title alignment with the job offer
The LCA must reflect your actual job title and SOC code. 'Senior Art Director' maps to a specific DOL occupational classification, and a mismatch between your offer letter and the LCA is a common cause of USCIS requests for evidence. Confirm the title is consistent across all documents before signing.
Use Migrate Mate's E-3 filing service for the LCA
The LCA certification step sits entirely with DOL, not USCIS, and most employers haven't done one before. Use Migrate Mate's E-3 filing service to handle your LCA and visa paperwork so your employer doesn't stall the process trying to figure out FLAG portal submissions.
Book your consulate appointment as soon as the LCA certifies
DOL certifies most LCAs within seven business days. Schedule your U.S. Embassy appointment in Sydney, Melbourne, or Perth immediately after, because appointment slots at Australian consulates can extend several weeks out during peak periods.
E-3 Visa Senior Art Director: Frequently Asked Questions
How do I find Senior Art Director jobs that offer E-3 visa sponsorship?
Use Migrate Mate to search Senior Art Director roles filtered by E-3 visa sponsorship. Most general job boards don't let you filter by visa type, so you end up cold-applying to roles where the employer has never heard of the E-3. Migrate Mate surfaces employers already open to sponsoring Australian professionals, which cuts out a lot of wasted applications.
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 Senior Art Director role qualify as a specialty occupation for the E-3?
Yes. Senior Art Director roles require a bachelor's degree in a specific field, typically visual communications, graphic design, or a closely related discipline, which satisfies the E-3 specialty occupation definition. The key is that your employer's job description must specify a degree requirement, not just treat it as preferred. A generic 'bachelor's degree in any field' language in the posting can create problems at the LCA stage.
How does the E-3 compare to the H-1B for Senior Art Director roles?
The E-3 is significantly more practical for Australians pursuing Senior Art Director positions. There's no lottery, no annual cap that runs out, and no registration period to wait for. You can apply as soon as you have a certified LCA and a job offer, which means you can start within weeks rather than waiting up to a year for an H-1B visa cycle. The E-3 also renews indefinitely in two-year increments as long as you maintain qualifying employment.
Can I switch employers or agencies while on an E-3 as a Senior Art Director?
Yes, but your new employer must file a fresh LCA before you start. The E-3 is employer-specific, so you can't carry it over from one agency or studio to another. There's no formal grace period written into E-3 rules for employer changes, so you'll want the new LCA certified and your visa updated before leaving your current role to avoid any gap in authorized status.
