Job Description
Amazon is looking for an enthusiastic Visual Designer to join the Workplace Health and Safety Team. We’re not an average company, and this is definitely not your average position. We’ll give you the opportunity to make a difference in our safety engagement across the globe. At Amazon, we obsess over the safety of our people and partners – they are our customers. Our people trust us because we provide a safe work environment. Our commitment to deliver the best technologies and practices meets and exceeds expectations. To get there, we need exceptionally talented, bright, and driven people. If you'd like to help us educate and empower the people who care for and deliver on our customer promise - we need you.
We are seeking a Sr. Visual Designer who brings strategic thinking and creative problem-solving to every brief — someone who challenges conventions, draws on deep visual language expertise, and arrives with bold, fresh ideas that can scale local safety programs to a global audience. You will use the power of design to simplify complex technical safety concepts and make them relatable and accessible to employees worldwide. Self-driven and credible, you will sit in front of stakeholders and subject matter experts from diverse safety backgrounds and regions —pitching concepts, proposing alternative solutions, and confidently providing guidance when needed to preserve brand authenticity and design integrity. You will become fluent in Amazon and safety brand standards, serving as an expert to verify asset compliance — whether developed in-house or by external agencies.
Key job responsibilities
Translate complex technical documents and safety concepts into clear, compelling visual elements that support multimedia, brand, and learning initiatives
Create illustrations and design assets for a variety of products including marketing campaigns, physical installations, and communication materials
Apply deep knowledge of design principles — including typography, composition, scale, and color theory — to produce stylized graphics, on-brand visuals, and layout and template design
Deliver design work that consistently raises the bar and optimizes for operational excellence and best practices
Work across partner teams (marketing, engineering, business leads, product and program management) to meet shared goals and influence outcomes beyond the immediate team
Present ideas and visual concepts to senior leaders and broader stakeholder groups, using sound judgment in communication and design artifacts
Manage trade-offs between time, quality, and resources; make informed decisions on when to resolve issues independently versus escalate
Contribute to team knowledge-sharing and process improvement
Discuss client and stakeholder needs, identify target audiences, and develop visual ideas that suit the brief
Contribute to and follow WHS visual style standards and brand guidelines
Work with production vendors to acquire estimates, approve samples, and ensure delivered materials are consistent with original artwork and mockups
A day in the life
