Head of Creative, AI Studios, AI Studio

AI Studios is a newly established org that leads the global strategy and execution for integrating AI across the creative and production lifecycle at Amazon MGM Studios. Our goal is to advance how stories are developed, produced, and experienced by using new technology as a tool, with human creativity and control at the center, empowering creators.

We're seeking a rare hybrid leader-practitioner who can architect the future of AI-enabled animation and roll up their sleeves to make it happen. This is not a traditional creative executive role – you will be the visionary and the executor of the creative bar and strategy for Amazon AI Studios, defining new AI-driven animation workflows and actively implementing them. You'll need to toggle seamlessly between high-level strategic thinking and driving creative development and production, while maintaining a continual focus on adapting new technology to how animation is made. The ideal candidate is a seasoned animation professional who's equally comfortable crafting high quality creative projects and assembling teams to bring them to life.

Key job responsibilities
• Identify and evaluate high-priority creative projects and assemble teams to produce them utilizing innovative AI-enabled animation workflows
• Define AI Studios’ creative vision and strategy while handling day-to-day studio production tasks
• Build and test new production approaches through hands-on experimentation
• Drive both strategic planning and tactical execution of projects
• Serve as both creative leader and individual contributor for the AI Studios team
