Job Description

Device Brand Studio, an internal agency within the Devices group at Amazon, is seeking a talented Motion Designer to help bring new Amazon offerings to market, products, services, and features within our devices portfolio. The Motion Designer will own motion and film craft for product lines and campaigns within Amazon Devices, from concept through final delivery, including new-to-world and new-to-Amazon launches. The ideal candidate has a strong foundation in motion design, animation, and editorial craft, and the ability to take a brand story and translate it into work that holds up in a keynote, a 15-second cutdown, and a social loop without losing the idea. You will work closely with creative directors, ACDs, and copywriters to develop motion concepts, storyboard and previs ideas, then execute polished final work, iterating based on feedback and factoring in timeline and platform requirements. You should be comfortable pitching motion concepts to creative leads and stakeholders, and have the technical range to move between styleframes, animation, and edit. You should have working knowledge of brand guidelines and creative briefs at a top consumer-facing brand like Amazon. Because the work is varied, fast-paced, and often tied to hard launch dates, you should have strong technical craft and the ability to manage multiple concurrent motion projects at different stages of production. You will partner with creative directors, art directors, editors, sound designers, and production to deliver motion work across campaign film, keynote content, product detail pages, and social. This role is for a strong motion craft lead with hands-on production experience, who can take a concept from styleframe to final cut and present work clearly to creative leads and stakeholders. Key job responsibilities • Own motion design and animation execution for assigned campaigns and launch moments, from concept through final delivery • Develop styleframes, storyboards, and animation concepts that translate brand strategy into motion • Edit and finish film and motion content for keynote, campaign, and social deliverables • Partner with creative directors and art directors to develop and pitch motion concepts and territories • Collaborate with editors, sound designers, and production to keep motion work on schedule and technically sound • Give feedback and technical guidance to junior motion designers on the team • Maintain technical and craft standards across motion deliverables as formats and platforms evolve
