Elevated Com Jobs in Matawan, NJ (NOW HIRING)

The Amazon Elevated Shopping (éShop) Global Design team is seeking an Art Director to join our team, supporting the creation of elevated content across Premium and Luxury workstreams-primarily within fashion and beauty. This includes high-visibility campaign creative, creative guardrail development, technological experimentation, marketing and advertising design, and product presentation on Amazon.com.
The ideal candidate will have a strong professional background directing the creation of best-in-class fashion and beauty content across different placements. This role requires an exceptional eye for fashion, visual composition, and attention to detail, alongside a deep understanding of trends, customer aspirations, and technical execution with creative teams. The Art Director must be comfortable working within Premium and Luxury brand guidelines with a strong focus on fashion and beauty categories, while bringing innovative, forward-thinking, and aspirational ideas to elevate the visual experience.
The candidate should also be adept at leveraging AI image generation as part of the creative process-both to communicate early concepts during pitches and to develop polished, publish-ready visual assets-using AI as a tool to accelerate ideation, refine storytelling, and push the boundaries of what editorial content can achieve.
You will work under the guidance of a Creative Director and collaborate closely with other creatives, including Art Directors, Designers, UX Designers, Design Technologists and post-production creatives. Additionally, you will be responsible for communicating with both internal partners and external stakeholders to deliver innovative results through all stages-from concept development to final execution.

• Drive innovation in luxury fashion presentation-exploring new formats, technologies, and creative approaches while maintaining brand consistency.
• Ensure consistent visual excellence across all fashion content, acting as a quality gatekeeper from concept to publish.
• Work with Designers to create CX mock-ups and design layouts in Figma that clearly demonstrate and align teams around the creative vision.
