UX Design Manager, Advertiser Experience
Apply NowCompany: Amazon
Location: Seattle, WA 98115
Description:
Amazon Advertising is looking for a high-caliber and tested design leader to create innovative experiences that connect brands/businesses/agencies with their customers; globally and at scale. In this role, you'll lead (and grow) a high-performing team of UX professionals-working collaboratively with user research, engineering, and product management through all aspects of the product development life-cycle.
This work has strategic significance and high exposure. You'll have the opportunity to build new advertising solutions starting with product definition. Most importantly, you will have a direct impact on the customer experience of advertisers, agencies and brand-owners globally.
Amazon is investing heavily in building a world class advertising business and we're responsible for defining and delivering a collection of self-service advertising products that drive discovery and sales. We deliver billions of ad impressions and millions of clicks daily, and we're breaking fresh ground to create world-class products. Because successful advertising starts with a great customer experience, our team works backwards from the shopper to meet the needs of our advertising customers. If you're interested in joining a rapidly growing team working to build a unique, truly innovative advertising group with a relentless focus on the customer, you've come to the right place.
Our ideal candidate is a pragmatic manager who is at ease visualizing an experience in the abstract and then driving that vision into solid design deliverables (e.g. UI, IA, prototypes) with their team.
