Tokyo Amazon Music
Amazon Music is an immersive audio entertainment service that deepens connections between fans, artists, and creators.

From personalized music playlists to exclusive podcasts, concert livestreams to artist merch, Amazon Music is innovating at some of the most exciting intersections of music and culture.

We offer experiences that serve all listeners with our different tiers of service:

Prime members get access to all the music in shuffle mode, and top ad-free podcasts, included with their membership; customers can upgrade to Amazon Music Unlimited for unlimited, on-demand access to 100 million songs, including millions in HD, Ultra HD, and spatial audio; and anyone can listen for free by downloading the Amazon Music app or via Alexa-enabled devices.

Join us for the opportunity to influence how Amazon Music engages fans, artists, and creators on a global scale.


As a Senior Art Director on the Global Amazon Music Brand Creative team, you'll create visually compelling designs spanning playlist artwork, cultural & brand campaigns, marketing assets, digital out-of-home, and physical experiences that bring our global content to life.

From high-impact launches to always-on entities across music, podcasts, and audiobooks, your work will inspire, inform, and connect fans to the artists and creators they love.

You'll work alongside our global team of creative directors, copy writers, strategists and product designers to turn ideas into expressive and on-brand visuals that withhold the cultural expectations of JP fans.

You'll be empowered to test new approaches, and define creative strategy in partnership with local marketing and brand teams.

You will welcome feedback as fuel for growth, and constantly evolve your craft in alignment with Amazon Music's fan obsessed ethos.

This role is based in our Tokyo office.
