    Job Description

    The Customer Service Innovation Lab (CSIL) is a new team inside Amazon Customer Service. Its mission is to challenge the status quo and shape the future of the customer experience industry. We"re looking for a Senior UX Designer to be the founding design voice in a Pioneering Pod. You will observe Amazon customer's experiences daily, and you"ll use those insights to rethink how they get help. You"ll own the experience from the first problem statement to a validated prototype, co-creating with contact handlers to turn unclear problems into clear, testable concepts. Much of the work involves AI-assisted and agentic experiences. You"ll set the design rhythm for the lab and help build a design culture that rethinks customer service, not just improves it.

    Key job responsibilities

    • Put customers at the center: listen to customer contacts, observe customer journeys every day, and turn those signals into opportunities that change the experience.
    • Challenge the status quo: question long-held assumptions about how customer service works, and push for new ideas that could reshape the industry.
    • Lead end-to-end design for lab initiatives: discovery, framing, concepting, interaction and visual design, prototyping and handoff.
    • Co-create with contact handlers through embedded observation, rapid workshops, and quick test-and-learn cycles on the lab floor.
    • Prototype at speed with high-fidelity, interactive prototypes, including AI and GenAI-powered experiences, to test value, usability and feasibility in days.
    • Shape product direction with PMs, engineers and science partners. Define customer-focused success metrics, scope MVPs, and make go/no-go recommendations based on evidence.
    • Design for trust and responsible AI: transparency, human-in-the-loop controls, data privacy and accessibility (WCAG 2.2 AA) from the start.
    • Tell the story: write narratives, make concept videos and demos for senior CS leadership, and connect lab results to customer impact.
    • Scale what works: partner with CS-UX product teams to move validated concepts into production, and add patterns to the design system.
    • Raise the bar: mentor designers, run critiques, and help define the lab"s design practices.

    About the team

    Our small, cross-functional Pioneering Pods of designers, product managers, engineers and data scientists work right next to our contact handlers. Every day they hear the voice of the customer and watch real customer experiences unfold. Pods turn that close view into bold ideas, 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.
