eCommerce Graphic Designer - Amazon Retail

Job #8735 Columbus, OH Hybrid 6-month W2 contract with possibility for extension Full-time, benefits eligible

ABOUT THE ROLE

Our client is seeking a hands-on eCommerce Graphic/Visual Designer to join an internal creative team supporting a portfolio of consumer brands. This is a graphic/visual design role focused on creating eCommerce marketing creative and product-content assets — not UX/UI or Product Design. The designer will create PDP image sets, A+ or Enhanced Content, Amazon Brand Store creative, digital shelf content, and other retailer-specific visual assets.

The designer will take established brand strategies, campaign concepts, product photography, messaging, and other creative assets and translate them into effective eCommerce executions. This requires more than creating attractive graphics; the designer should understand visual hierarchy, product storytelling, shopper behavior, and how to communicate product features and benefits within the templates, specifications, and limitations of retailer platforms. This is a hands-on visual design position rather than an Amazon account-management, product-listing, traditional visual-merchandising, or UX/Product Design role.

ABOUT OUR CLIENT

Our client is a large global organization with a diverse portfolio of well-known consumer brands. Their internal creative team partners closely with marketing, brand, content, and digital stakeholders to develop creative supporting eCommerce and marketing initiatives across multiple channels. Designers work across multiple brands and projects in a collaborative, fast-paced environment while maintaining brand consistency and adapting creative to the requirements of different retailer and digital platforms.
