Here's What We Need

We're looking for a Senior Graphic Designer with strong still design chops and motion capability to help bring our restaurant brand to life across digital, in-store, social, and campaign channels.

This role is for someone who can concept, design, and execute bold, brand-forward creative-from static layouts to animated assets-without losing sight of speed, consistency, or craft. You'll work closely with the Creative Director, marketing partners, and production team to turn ideas into scroll-stopping, appetite-inducing work.

If you love food brands, move fast without cutting corners, and think motion should feel intentional-not tacked on-you'll feel right at home.

• Static Creative- You will design high-impact static creative across digital, social, in restaurant,out-of-home, print, packaging, and campaign assets.
• Motion Graphics- You will create motion graphics and light animation for social, digital ads, menu boards, in-store screens, and brand moments.
• Brand Translation- You will translate brand guidelines into consistent, elevated creative while knowing when and how to push them in the right way.
• Format Adaptation- You will adapt creative for multiple formats, platforms, and aspect ratios quickly and accurately.
• Trend Awareness- You will maintain a strong pulse on cultural, design, and industry trends, translating emerging ideas into on-brand creative that keeps the brand current and distinctive.

Motion & Video Support

• Animation- You will animate typography, logos, layouts, and graphics for campaigns and evergreen content.
• Video Collaboration- You will partner with video editors and producers to support motion needs such as overlays, end cards, transitions, and cut-downs.
• Motion Storytelling- You will bring still designs to life through motion that enhances storytelling and clarity.

Collaboration & Workflow

• Cross-Functional Partnership- You will work cross-functionally with marketing, culinary, operations, and field teams.
• Creative Direction & Feedback- You will take creative direction and feedback well and know how to ask smart questions.
• Project Management- You will manage multiple projects at once while meeting deadlines in a fast-paced environment.
• Organization- You will maintain organized working files and handoffs for production and versioning.
• Additional Responsibilities- You will perform other duties as assigned to support the team and the brand's creative needs.

How You'll Do It

• Attention to Detail- Catching inconsistencies in design, type, and brand application before work goes out the door.
• Adaptability- Shifting between projects, feedback, and priorities without losing momentum or quality.
• Collaboration- Working effectively with teammates across departments to bring creative ideas to life.
• Time Management- Juggling multiple projects with varied deadlines while keeping work on track.
• Creative Curiosity- Staying inspired by trends and new ideas, and knowing how to channel that into work that feels unmistakably Torchy's.
