- Collaborate closely with leadership, operations, culinary, and store teams
- Identify emerging cultural trends and marketing opportunities
- Help scale and evolve the brand as the company grows
Qualifications- 5+ years of experience in marketing, branding, communications, social media, or digital marketing
- Restaurant, hospitality, food & beverage, retail, or lifestyle brand experience strongly preferred
- Strong understanding of modern social platforms and digital culture
- Hands-on experience creating content and managing campaigns

- Familiarity with AI tools and emerging marketing technologies
- Strong project management and organizational skills
- Comfortable working in a fast-paced, entrepreneurial environment
- Excellent communication and storytelling abilities
- Native-level English proficiency required

Why Join Us- Opportunity to help shape a rapidly growing restaurant brand
- High visibility and direct collaboration with leadership
- Significant ownership and creative freedom
- Fast-moving environment where ideas can quickly become reality
- Opportunity to build culturally relevant, modern restaurant marketing from the ground up
- Relocation support available for exceptional candidates
Benefits- Medical, Dental, Vision, Life & AD&D insurance
- Employee Assistance Program & Teladoc
- Paid time off
- Flexible working hours within standard business hours (8 AM-6 PM)
To ApplyPlease send:
