Senior Designer

Join the Grill’d creative team and help shape bold, memorable brand experiences across every customer touchpoint.

Our Story

Founded over 22 years ago, Grill’d started with a simple idea - to create healthy burgers that taste good and do good. Since then, we’ve grown from a single Melbourne restaurant into one of Australia’s most loved hospitality brands, with 180+ restaurants nationwide and exciting growth still ahead.

Grill’d is about more than burgers. From sustainability initiatives and community partnerships to innovation and restaurant growth, we’re passionate about creating experiences and making a positive impact for people and the planet - and we have fun while doing it.

As we continue to expand and evolve, we’re looking for a Senior Designer to join our Creative team and help shape the next chapter of the Grill’d brand.

About the Role

Working alongside the Head of Creative, you’ll be a key creative force within the team - driving campaign development, lifting the quality of our creative output and helping junior designers do their best work.

This is a hands-on role for someone who loves being on the tools. You’ll create and deliver work across digital channels including web, email, app and social, as well as in-restaurant touchpoints, menus, outdoor, uniforms and experiential media.

You’ll partner closely with Marketing and Digital, manage multiple projects from brief to delivery and act as a trusted brand guardian across every creative touchpoint.

Sound good? Here are some of the things you'll be doing:

• Lead campaign creative: Help develop and execute compelling integrated campaigns from concept through to final delivery. Produce high-quality assets for digital, social, print, presentations, guidelines and in-restaurant experiences

• Raise the creative bar: Bring fresh thinking, strong craft and bold ideas that build brand engagement and push beyond the expected

• Brand Champion: Maintain consistency, quality and alignment across all Grill’d creative outputs

• Guide the team: Support, mentor and inspire junior designers while working closely with the Head of Creative on priorities and approvals

• Own the workflow: Manage competing briefs and deadlines, strengthen filing and briefing practices, and continuously improve team processes

• Shape digital experiences: Collaborate with Digital to create dynamic content and customer experiences, with an appreciation for UX, UI, motion and storyboarding

• Design sustainably: Explore smarter, more sustainable approaches to creative production and delivery.

You'll also spend time working alongside our restaurant teams as part of your onboarding, giving you first-hand insight into the operations, people and culture that drive Grill’d's success.

Who We're Looking For:

• Senior Design experience: 8+ years’ experience, ideally within hospitality, retail, fashion or another fast-moving consumer brand

• A Standout portfolio: Demonstrated strength across campaign development, digital and print design, with excellent knowledge of design principles and production best practice

• Hands-on creative leadership: Confident leading end-to-end creative projects, presenting ideas and mentoring junior designers while remaining close to the work

• Master of the tools: Advanced Adobe InDesign, Illustrator and Photoshop skills, plus strong working knowledge of Figma or similar design tools

• Digital curiosity: An understanding of UX and UI, with motion, animation, storyboarding, retouching or illustration skills highly regarded

• Calm under pressure: Highly organised and comfortable managing multiple briefs, stakeholders and tight deadlines at pace

• Clear communicator: Strong written, verbal and presentation skills, with the confidence to influence colleagues and senior stakeholders

• Creative problem solver: Imaginative, positive and customer-focused, with a genuine drive to improve both the work and the way it gets done

• Qualifications: A degree in Design or a related field is preferred, but not essential.

Why Grill’d?

• Epic Support Office culture including social events, connection activities and community initiatives

• Genuine career growth opportunities as Grill’d continues to grow across restaurants, operations and Support Office

• A collaborative and down-to-earth environment where your work genuinely makes an impact

• Flexible working arrangements including 1 day WFH per week

• We care deeply about our people, community and the planet, with volunteering opportunities throughout the year

• Oh… and free burgers every month 🍔
