Brand Designer, Events & Experiential, AWS Advertising & Social Media

About the role

AWS is looking for an early-career Brand Designer to help shape how the world experiences AWS — in person and across the brand system that makes it all possible. This is a rare opportunity for a designer at the start of their career to work on some of the largest brand stages in technology. The environments you help design won't live on a screen alone — they'll be built, lit, walked through, photographed, and remembered. Your work will range from building brand system assets and presentation materials to designing large-format signage and environmental moments — always grounded in craft and always serving the bigger brand story.

You are a craftsperson with a love for both the visual and the spatial. You care about the strategy and reasoning behind design decisions. You'll learn from senior designers and creative directors, contribute to a global events system, and grow your craft on work with real scale and real audiences.

This is a role within AWS Brand & Creative, reporting to a design leader on the team and based in Seattle, WA. You'll join a team that believes brand is everything we make, say, and do — and that the moments we create in the physical world are some of the most powerful expressions of who AWS is.

Responsibilities

• Bringing Events to Life
  • Design the visual expression of AWS events — translating campaign strategy and brand positioning into experiences people move through and remember
  • Design for scale and impact across presentations, activations, signage, and shared spaces
  • Bring strong foundational design craft — typography, color, composition, hierarchy, scale — to large-format and spatial contexts
  • Explore multiple creative directions and bring a clear point of view to how a moment should look and feel
  • Apply and extend the AWS brand system into experiential and environmental touchpoints, keeping every expression coherent and on-brand
• Brand System & Asset Production
  • Execute within and extend the AWS event brand system — maintaining templates, component libraries, and reusable assets
  • Produce presentation decks, brand guideline documents, and digital assets with precision and consistency
  • Manage asset production end-to-end once direction is set — from initial layout through file prep, export, and handoff
  • Surface inconsistencies across deliverables and propose system-level fixes that strengthen coherence
  • Keep reference files, brand kits, and shared libraries organized and current
• Collaboration & Production
  • Partner with event producers, creative directors, marketing leads, copywriters, and fabrication vendors to bring concepts to life on time and on brand
  • Prepare production-ready design for print, large-format, fabrication, and live environments — grounded in the realities of material, scale, lighting, and install
  • Manage your own deliverables and timelines, raising blockers early — before they become urgent
  • Learn the end-to-end rhythm of global event production and grow into a trusted creative partner
• Growth & Team
  • Contribute to a shared library of experiential templates and reusable brand elements that help the whole team move faster
  • Give and receive feedback in design critiques, growing your craft and helping raise the bar
  • Bring energy, curiosity, and fresh ideas — and a point of view on where experiential design is heading

Qualifications

Basic Qualifications

• Have an online portfolio demonstrating strong visual design skills and advertising experience across a range of media and platforms, along with work that reflects your design process
• Experience with Figma and the Adobe CS suite: XD, Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign, Dreamweaver, Premiere, and After Effects
• Knowledge of design principles (Typography, Composition, Scale, and Color Theory amongst others) and working knowledge of how those principles work together
• Bachelor's degree, or experience in an industry role
• Eagerness to learn, collaborate, and grow craft in a fast-moving, high-visibility environment

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience with asset management, design workflows, or partnering with creative teams
• Experience with AI/ML technologies
• Experience designing for events, activations, trade shows, or physical brand environments
• Familiarity with spatial or 3D visualization tools (SketchUp, Blender, or similar) to communicate experiential concepts
• Comfort with high-volume production — ability to produce many assets quickly without sacrificing quality
• Experience working within a defined brand system and set of constraints, rather than creating from scratch
• Understanding of event production workflows — fabrication, print vendors, install timelines, and on-site constraints

Benefits

• Comprehensive health insurance (medical, dental, vision, prescription, Basic Life & AD&D insurance, and option for Supplemental life plans)
• Employee Assistance Program (EAP) and Mental Health Support
• Medical Advice Line and Flexible Spending Accounts
• Adoption and Surrogacy Reimbursement coverage
• 401(k) matching
• Paid time off and parental leave

Pay
