Job description

Craft campaigns, build brand systems, and set the creative bar high as American Express's newest Creative Writer. We pair a $49,000 - $70,000 salary with real responsibility, so the Creative Writer you become here grows faster than the title suggests.

Key Responsibilities

• Carve a distinct lane for American Express in a creative space crowded with sameness
• Create wireframes, mockups, and high-fidelity prototypes for web and mobile
• Partner with copywriters to align visuals with messaging and tone
• Adapt master concepts into channel-specific formats and aspect ratios
• Choreograph photo shoots in Yuma from shot list to retouched selects
• Audit existing creative for the values-led inconsistencies nobody flagged sooner
• Present design rationale clearly to mid-level stakeholders and clients
• Knit copy and art into a single argument instead of two parallel monologues

What You'll Bring

• Fluency in Color Theory earned the hard way, not just from a tutorial
• A history of leaving creative processes better than you found them
• A communicator who writes the meeting recap nobody asked for but everyone reads
• Calm under the mentorship-focused chaos a mid-level role tends to generate
• Comfort navigating ambiguity when the brief arrives half-written
• An AZ work history, or strong reasons you'll thrive here anyway
• A growth mindset that treats feedback as fuel, not threat

Inside American Express's Yuma headquarters, a joyfully-rigorous team treats every Brand Identity bug like a personal insult worth fixing tonight. We prize follow-through: when someone here commits to something, the team can count on it.

We set the base at $49,000 - $70,000 and build outward with growth coaching, a mentor, benefits, and hours you genuinely control.

We just refreshed it, so the creative role counts as live and hiring.
