• Set the strategic creative direction for how we design across Amazon, Walmart, Instacart, Chewy, and emerging commerce platforms — defining the point of view, not just executing against it

• Lead the highest-stakes commerce design work across our top accounts, from A+ Content and Brand Stores to DPIs, video, and Commerce Media creative

• Know commerce creative systems thoroughly — and know exactly when and how to break it, bend it, or push past defaults to do work the platform hasn't seen before

• Translate Amazon, Walmart, and marketplace performance data into sharper creative decisions, and use it to defend, refine, or kill ideas with conviction

• Design with a sharp awareness of search and SEO best practices for e-commerce — understanding how creative interacts with discoverability, indexing, keyword strategy, and emerging surfaces like Amazon's Rufus and AI-driven shopping assistants

• Articulate the why behind every design choice — through the lens of the shopper, the platform, the brand, and the business outcome.  Be able to articulate this internally and with clients.

• Consult with retail operations, performance, and strategy teams as the senior creative voice on commerce; partner across functions to make the work smarter

• Serve as the creative lead on new business pitches and client engagements - building the narrative, leading the room, and helping close the commerce work that defines our practice

• Mentor design, copy and other studio team members across the commerce team, raising craft, rationale, and judgment across the board

• Develop frameworks, POVs, and thought leadership that position Tinuiti as the definitive voice in commerce creative

• Stay ahead of platform changes, beta features, and module rollouts — and turn them into client opportunity before competitors catch on

• Present at the highest levels with confidence, clarity, and a point of view clients remember

• You have 8+ years of design experience, with significant time designing for Amazon and at least one other major commerce platform

• You're a recognized as an expert in the Commerce Creative ecosystem — A+ / Premium A+, Stores, DPIs, video, Sponsored Brands — and you understand the data behind what actually performs

• You have a track record of work that reframed what a platform could do, not just work that followed the spec sheet

• You can lead senior client conversations and pitch rooms, presenting and defending creative thinking at an executive level

• You're fluent in commerce performance data and use it to make creative sharper, not safer

• You can articulate strategy as confidently as you can design — the why matters as much as the what

• You're comfortable operating across creative, retail operations, performance, and sales, and translating between them

• You've worked in an agency or with retail or commerce brands at scale

• You have a portfolio that proves all of the above

The hiring salary range for this role is $80,000 - $90,000 plus a discretionary performance bonus.
