About the role

Key responsibilities & impact

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
