AWS is looking for a Senior Designer to play a critical role within our events design ecosystem and contribute to the broader AWS brand experience. This is an individual contributor role focused on experiential design, environmental graphics, and signage systems - bringing the AWS brand to life in physical and hybrid spaces at a scale few companies can match.
Working within the larger events design practice led by our Creative Director of Global Events, you will be a driving force in shaping how AWS shows up in physical and digital spaces - from our flagship re:Invent to regional Summits, executive briefings, and partner activations. You are equal parts creative leader and pragmatic executor: someone who can concept a bold environmental experience and then see it through to flawless production. You will also contribute to projects outside of events as a way to stretch, grow, and bring fresh perspective to the team.
This role requires a designer who thrives in collaborative, cross-functional environments. You will work closely with the Creative Director of Global Events, event producers, brand strategists, creative leads, agency partners, and production vendors - bringing clarity, craft, and creative ambition to every touchpoint attendees encounter.
