About The Position

At Audible, we believe stories have the power to transform lives. It’s why we
work with some of the world’s leading creators to produce and share audio
storytelling with our millions of global listeners. We are dreamers and
inventors who come from a wide range of backgrounds and experiences to empower
and inspire each other. Imagine your future with us.

ABOUT THIS ROLE
Revolutionizing the storytelling experience is just part of an Audible Visual
Experience (VX) Designer’s daily to-do list. You will drive visual excellence
that elevates the listening experience and ensures cohesion for harmonious
listening anytime, anywhere, on any platform – including iOS, Android, web, and
Alexa. Like us, you're customer obsessed, and every design decision you make
will be shaped by your profound understanding of visual communication principles
to purposefully shape the customer experience. Just when it seems a product is
perfected, you’ll polish subtle refinements in hierarchy and rhythm that elevate
it further. Your creativity will take deep customer insight and transform it
into visually stunning experiences that will continuously evolve our brand
identity, all while discovering new ways to visually enhance the power of the
spoken word.

ABOUT YOU
Life inspires your work. You look to yourself for insight and can’t help keeping
a running list of ways to improve your own visual design. You’re most creative
when working through situational restraints, from everyday life hacks to
professional milestones. You always strive for more, an expert in proactive
design thinking. No stone is ever left unturned; you’re all about asking the big
questions and the small ones. The only thing more exciting than validating a
solution is sharing it with your team. And as a collaborator and mentor, you’ve
seen first-hand how constructive feedback and a growth mindset create an
environment where everyone thrives. You’re ready to hone your craft and broaden
your design skills, but the journey with your team is what drives you.
