Amazon Animation Jobs in Seattle, WA (NOW HIRING)

Amazon's Global Operations Learning and Development (GOLD) organization is hiring a Media Designer to serve as a core member of our shared media production team. This role supports multiple functions across GOLD, including GOPXT Communications, Learning Design and Development, and Executive Communications. You will produce high-quality video, motion graphics, animation, and visual design assets that serve leadership communications, learning content, and brand storytelling.
This is a hands-on, cross-functional role. You bring creative versatility and technical depth, operate independently, and deliver at high volume while maintaining brand consistency and quality standards. You work comfortably across the full spectrum of creative production: one day directing a VP leadership video on location, the next building motion graphics for a marketing campaign or designing reusable learning assets. You stay current on AI-assisted production tools and apply them to accelerate workflows.
The position is based in our Seattle studio and may require up to 50% travel for on-location production.
Key job responsibilities
- Film, direct, edit, and produce video content across executive communications, training productions, marketing campaigns, and organizational announcements
- Operate as a self-sufficient producer: manage equipment, filming, lighting, audio, and post-production workflows from concept through final delivery
- Create motion graphics, animation, and visual assets that support brand storytelling and learning content across GOLD
- Establish and maintain brand guidelines and visual identity standards for media assets across the organization
- Design media content as modular, reusable components that can be repurposed across multiple audiences and channels
- Collaborate with cross-functional stakeholders across GOPXT Communications, Learning Design and Development to translate business needs into compelling visual solutions
- Apply AI-assisted production tools and workflows to accelerate content creation, editing, and asset management
- Contribute to team capability development by sharing expertise, building repeatable templates, and raising the quality bar for media production
A day in the life
As a Media Designer, no two days are the same. You solve complex design challenges across multiple mediums, filming a VP update in the morning, editing a training video or building motion graphics by afternoon. You work across the full production spectrum, serve multiple teams, and adapt quickly to shifting priorities. This role requires deep expertise in videography, editing, graphic design, motion graphics, and art direction. You bring creative solutions to ambiguous problems, take ownership from brief to final delivery, and continuously raise the bar with new tools and techniques.
