Description

Device Brand Studio operates as an internal agency within Amazon Devices, seeking a talented motion designer to help bring new Amazon offerings to market across devices, services, and features. The role centers on owning motion and film craft for product lines and campaigns from concept through final delivery, including launches that are new to world and new to Amazon. A strong foundation in motion design, animation, and editorial craft is essential, with the ability to translate a brand story into work that holds up in a keynote, a 15 second cut, and a social loop without losing the idea.

You will work closely with creative directors, associate creative directors, and copywriters to develop motion concepts, storyboards, and previs ideas, then execute polished final work while iterating based on feedback and platform requirements. You should be comfortable pitching motion concepts to senior leads and stakeholders and able to move across styleframes, animation, and edit. A solid understanding of brand guidelines and briefs from a major consumer brand like Amazon is valuable. Given the varied, fast-paced nature of launches, you will manage multiple concurrent motion projects at different production stages, partnering with editors, sound designers, and production to deliver motion across campaign film, keynote content, product detail pages, and social. This is a hands-on, craft-led role that can take a concept from styleframe to final cut and present work clearly to creative leads and stakeholders.
