Creative Director, Devices Brand Studio

Device Brand Studio, an internal agency within the Devices group at Amazon, is seeking a talented, creative Creative Director to help bring new Amazon offerings to market, products, services, and features within our devices portfolio. The Creative Director will own brand identity and creative execution for a product line or campaign within Amazon Devices, including new-to-world and new-to-Amazon launches.
