    Job Description

    The Customer Service Innovation Lab (CSIL) is a new team inside Amazon Customer Service (CS). Its mission is to challenge the status quo and shape the future of the customer experience industry. We"re looking for a Designer to join a Pioneering Pod and help turn real customer and contact handler insights into tested solutions, fast. You will observe Amazon Customer experiences daily, and that will shape everything you design. You"ll work with a Senior Designer and cross-functional partners, own design for features and workstreams, and build prototypes that help the team decide what to do next. This role suits a curious designer who likes working hands-on with users, enjoys fast iteration, and wants to help invent what customer service looks like next.

    Key job responsibilities

    • Learn from customers every day: listen to contacts, observe customer journeys, and turn what you see into design opportunities.
    • Bring fresh thinking: question "the way it"s always been done" and suggest new approaches to the customer experience.
    • Own design for defined workstreams within lab initiatives, from discovery through interaction design, prototyping and handoff.
    • Work directly with contact handlers through observation, co-design sessions and quick usability tests.
    • Build interactive prototypes quickly, including AI-powered experiences, to test ideas in days.
    • Partner with PMs and engineers to scope MVPs, weigh trade-offs, and deliver designs that are ready to build.
    • Design inclusively: apply accessibility standards (WCAG 2.2 AA) and responsible-AI patterns.
    • Share your work: present concepts and test results in pod reviews and lab demos.
    • Use and add to the design system: reuse CS-UX patterns, and suggest new ones when lab work proves them out.

    A day in the life

    Your morning might start with a design review where you present interaction concepts to your product and engineering partners, gathering feedback that sharpens direction. By midday you could be deep in prototyping a new flow, testing how an AI-powered feature feels in a customer"s hands. You will regularly move between high-fidelity mockups, stakeholder conversations, and data analysis - balancing craft with collaboration to keep work moving toward launch.

    About the team

    This team is comprised of small, cross-functional Pioneering Pods who work right next to our contact handlers, hearing the voice of the customer and watching real customer experiences every day. They prototype solutions in days instead of quarters and prove what works before it scales across the CS network.

    About Company

    At Amazon, we don’t wait for the next big idea to present itself. We envision the shape of impossible things and then we boldly make them reality. So far, this mindset has helped us achieve some incredible things. Let’s build new systems, challenge the status quo, and design the world we want to live in. We believe the work you do here will be the best work of your life.

    Wherever you are in your career exploration, Amazon likely has an opportunity for you. Our research scientists and engineers shape the future of natural language understanding with Alexa. Fulfillment center associates around the globe send customer orders from our warehouses to doorsteps. Product managers set feature requirements, strategy, and marketing messages for brand new customer experiences. And as we grow, we’ll add jobs that haven’t been invented yet.

    It’s Always Day 1
    At Amazon, it’s always “Day 1.” Now, what does this mean and why does it matter? It means that our approach remains the same as it was on Amazon’s very first day – to make smart, fast decisions, stay nimble, invent, and stay focused on delighting our customers. In our 2016 shareholder letter, Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos shared his thoughts on how to keep up a Day 1 company mindset. “Staying in Day 1 requires you to experiment patiently, accept failures, plant seeds, protect saplings, and double down when you see customer delight,” he wrote. “A customer-obsessed culture best creates the conditions where all of that can happen.” You can read the full letter here

    Our Leadership Principles
    Our Leadership Principles help us keep a Day 1 mentality. They aren’t just a pretty inspirational wall hanging. Amazonians use them, every day, whether they’re discussing ideas for new projects, deciding on the best solution for a customer’s problem, or interviewing candidates.
