Art Director (12-month contract), JP Marketing Creative Studio

We're looking for a hands-on Art Director to join our Creative Studio in Tokyo and lead the visual identity of Amazon's fastest-growing commerce experience in Japan. Quick Commerce is redefining how customers shop for everyday essentials – and you'll be the creative engine behind how it looks and feels across every touchpoint. This is a high-output, high-impact role. You'll craft campaign visuals that connect with Japanese culture and seasonal moments, design across a range of digital formats, and help shape the creative language of a product that's scaling rapidly across Japan.

Key job responsibilities
• Lead end-to-end creative production for campaigns across onsite banners, storefront displays, promotional assets, email, and push notifications
• Translate seasonal and cultural moments (梅雨, 衣替え, お中元, etc.) into compelling visual narratives at pace
• Design and adapt assets across multiple store formats and placements, maintaining visual consistency while tailoring to local context
• Create multi-product compositions that tell a merchandising story
• Develop motion graphics and lightweight animations to elevate campaign assets
• Design email templates and visual components for outbound marketing campaigns
• Work at speed – you'll be delivering fresh creative every few days, across multiple campaigns running in parallel

At Amazon, you'll work alongside the latest AI and GenAI tools that are increasingly woven into how teams operate: from AI-powered capabilities that accelerate decision-making, to Generative AI that helps you focus on work that truly matters. You'll have opportunities and resources to develop AI fluency at your own pace, with continuous learning built into the culture.
