We are searching for a Creative Manager who will report to the Creative Hub Manager and lead end-to-end creative production for Amazon's New York Creative Hub.

The Creative Manager will oversee project management, coordinate with Producers on production schedules and budgets, and other stakeholders (who are cross-functional partners, not direct reports), and drive creative excellence across video, LED production, photography, and motion content. This person must also have a strong understanding of generative AI tools and their application in creative workflows, as well as LED production technologies.

In the afternoon, you could be on set overseeing a video production, ensuring all content is captured on schedule, or in a post‑production review providing feedback on edits and color correction. You’ll close the day by updating stakeholders on progress, conducting a 1:1 with a team member, and planning for the next production milestone.

We produce high‑volume, high‑quality visual content for global brands across fashion, beauty, lifestyle, and consumer electronics.
