Description AWS is looking for a Senior Designer to play a critical role within our events design ecosystem and contribute to the broader AWS brand experience. This is an individual contributor role focused on experiential design, environmental graphics, and signage systems — bringing the AWS brand to life in physical and hybrid spaces at a scale few companies can match.

Working within the larger events design practice led by our Creative Director of Global Events, you will be a driving force in shaping how AWS shows up in physical and digital spaces — from our flagship re:

Invent to regional Summits, executive briefings, and partner activations. You are equal parts creative leader and pragmatic executor: someone who can concept a bold environmental experience and then see it through to flawless production. You will also contribute to projects outside of events as a way to stretch, grow, and bring fresh perspective to the team.

This role requires a designer who thrives in collaborative, cross-functional environments. You will work closely with the Creative Director of Global Events, event producers, brand strategists, creative leads, agency partners, and production vendors — bringing clarity, craft, and creative ambition to every touchpoint attendees encounter.

Key job responsibilities

• Events & Experiential Design Leadership
• Design and execute across AWS global events — concepting, developing, and producing environmental design, signage systems, way finding, stage scenic, branded installations, and immersive activations
• Develop scalable design frameworks that flex across event types and sizes — from a 60,000-person conference to a 200-person executive dinner
• Translate brand strategy into three-dimensional, multi-sensory experiences that create lasting impressions and reinforce AWS's position as the industry leader
• Ensure consistency and quality across all event surfaces — digital signage, printed collateral, environmental creative, badges, swag, and interactive installations
• Partner with technology teams to integrate digital and interactive elements into physical spaces thoughtfully

Event Systems & Environmental Graphics

• Design and maintain comprehensive signage systems that guide attendees through complex venue environments with clarity and brand consistency
• Develop modular, production-ready templates for various applications, from demo booths to badges, that scale across venues, languages, and regional contexts
• Balance functional operational needs with brand storytelling and creative ambition

Collaboration & Cross-Functional Partnership

• Work as a trusted creative partner to the Creative Director of Global Events, event producers, program managers, internal stakeholders, agencies, and vendors — bringing strategic design thinking to operational planning conversations
• Participate actively in creative reviews, offering constructive feedback that elevates the work across the team
• Collaborate with the broader Brand & Creative team on projects outside of events — campaigns, brand systems, digital experiences — contributing your perspective and growing your range
• Digest conflicting feedback from multiple stakeholders, balance subjective opinions with objective constraints, and propose solutions that move decisions forward

Raising the Bar

• Push creative boundaries within production realities — finding innovative solutions that surprise and delight without compromising feasibility or timeline
• Bring outside inspiration from industries beyond tech — architecture, retail, hospitality, entertainment — to inform how AWS shows up in physical spaces
• Document and share best practices, templates, and learnings that help the broader team execute events at a higher standard over time
• Proactively identify opportunities to improve the attendee experience through design…
