Senior Visual Designer - Audible UX Design

About the role

As a Senior Visual Designer on Audible’s Experience Design team, you will be the creative force behind how Audible looks and feels — defining and evolving a visual language that elevates the storytelling experience across iOS, Android, and web. This is a visual‑craft leadership role for someone with exceptional aesthetic sensibility, creative ambition, and the ability to push boundaries. You will bring deep expertise in typography, color, composition, and motion to continuously raise the bar on Audible’s visual experience, establishing visual directions where no precedent exists and shaping the brand’s visual identity for an AI‑enabled future.

About you

Your primary mission is to elevate the visual language of the product experience. You set the creative bar — establishing cohesive, premium visual directions when no playbook exists, taking creative risks, and articulating why a visual choice makes an experience better. You thrive in ambiguity, moving with conviction in undefined spaces, forging creative direction from complexity and constraint. You have an extraordinary eye for rhythm, emotional impact, and subtle detail, thinking in mood boards, type studies, and color palettes, and translating big ideas into every product moment—from hero surfaces to micro‑interactions.

Responsibilities

• Master the fundamentals: apply deep mastery of visual design fundamentals — typography, composition, spatial hierarchy, color theory, and scale — to create cohesive, innovative visual experiences that influence long‑term organizational strategy.
• Define and evolve our visual language: push creative boundaries beyond established patterns to deliver a premium, emotionally resonant aesthetic for Audible’s product across all platforms.
• Champion visual design excellence: relentlessly raise the bar through bold creative exploration, emerging design trends, and strategic thinking — setting the standard for craft quality across the team.
• Develop visual concepts and creative directions: produce mood boards, type explorations, color studies, and high‑fidelity visual explorations that articulate a clear, compelling visual point of view.
• Bring visual storytelling into the product: demonstrate expertise across graphic design, art direction, illustration, and visual storytelling — connecting Audible’s emotional brand to every screen.
• Use motion with purpose: create high‑fidelity visual designs and interactive prototypes that demonstrate motion principles and micro‑interactions, exploring new visual directions and validating design intent through stakeholder collaboration and user testing.
• Shape our design system through craft: contribute to the design system by translating visual principles into design tokens, reusable components, and patterns — ensuring consistency and quality across platforms while preserving creative intent.
• Bring a forward‑looking perspective: shape the visual language for emerging experiences by developing a point of view on how visual design evolves in an AI‑enabled product landscape.
• Lead and mentor: build relationships that provide leadership, direction, and mentorship for a team of UX Designers.
• Collaborate cross‑functionally: actively communicate with cross‑functional teams, management, and research on complex user flows and commerce‑driven projects.
