Visual Designer - Tock

The Gig

The Tock Marketing team is looking for a Visual Designer with a strong background in graphic design, animation, and a love for all things food and dining. You will be responsible for designing cutting-edge concepts, motion, and interactive experiences that connect our customers to guests. You will also be producing visual design materials (even ones without motion): such as ads, email newsletters, sales collateral, social posts, and landing pages as needed. The team is a small but mighty crew of 10. We are tasked with the exciting responsibility of growing Tock’s brand and building awareness for our company and product. We are creative, nimble, and passionate about helping our customers, supporting our sales team, and attracting guests to discover and book great dining experiences.

You would join as the third designer on the Marketing team, but would also be part of our larger, collaborative, cross-functional Product Design team. Although we may hold different responsibilities, we support each other and explore ideas and projects together, because our mission, brand, and visual identity touch and impact everything we do.

You will report directly to the Design Lead and will be based in Chicago.

All Squarespace and Tock employees are working remotely at this time. We are closely monitoring the status of COVID-19 as we continue our work to build a return-to-work plan that ensures a safe return to our offices and provides flexibility for our employees.
