We are seeking a Senior UX Designer to conceive of, plan, lead, and execute new shopping experiences for Amazon customers shopping outside of Amazon, that eliminate customers’ biggest barriers to purchasing.
Because the scope of this position will extend across a number of programs, the ability to balance high-level, holistic reasoning with detail-oriented feature design is imperative.

- You are an empathic teammate who flourishes when collaborating closely with other disciplines and partners.
- You are a self-starter who thrives on ambiguity and is comfortable wearing many hats.
Key job responsibilities
You enable user-centric strategies, improving not only products and services but also the full end-to-end user experience. Practice a holistic approach to the buyer experience, with focus not just on pay, but on the entire journey- from pre-purchase (education, awareness, incentive, acquisition) to payment (click through, confirmation, security), through to post transaction (communication, tracking, sharing, social).
- Develop and socialize experiences that drive engagement and excitement throughout the organization - working closely with partners in research, design and product management across Amazon.
- Analyze customer behaviors, identify opportunities to solve problems, and create cohesive, best-in-class experiences to our most challenging and high impact areas.
- Create frameworks, conceptual diagrams, user flows, wireframes, detailed visual mockups, and prototypes to communicate high-level design strategies.
- Responsibly and effectively advocate for the customer in a corporate environment; fostering a shared understanding of the customer-centric intersection between design, technology and business.
- Deliver high quality creative products while insisting on high standards and attention to detail.
- Present to business, design, and executive-level leadership and support your design rationale using quantitative data and site metrics, customer feedback, and usability findings.
- Help nurture a thriving design culture.
