Graphic Designer & Social Media Marketing Specialist

About Us

360 Restaurant Growth Engine (360RGE) helps independent restaurants grow through world-class branding, social media marketing, photography, video, websites, online ordering, email marketing, SMS marketing, reputation management, AI tools, and creative marketing campaigns.

We're looking for a Graphic Designer & Social Media Marketing Specialist who can create eye-catching visuals while also thinking like a marketer.

This is primarily a graphic design role, but we're looking for someone who understands how great design supports successful social media marketing. You'll create graphics, write engaging content, stay on top of social media trends, and contribute creative ideas that help restaurants attract more customers.

If you enjoy designing content that grabs attention, following current marketing trends, and thinking beyond just making graphics look good, we'd love to hear from you.

What You'll Do

You'll spend most of your time creating visual content for restaurants, including:

Designing social media graphics and promotional materials
Creating engaging Facebook, Instagram, and TikTok content
Writing compelling captions that encourage engagement
Designing campaigns for holidays, promotions, and special events
Creating simple short-form video concepts and Reels
Researching social media and marketing trends
Collaborating with our photography and video team
Helping develop creative ideas to increase restaurant traffic
Reviewing social media performance and suggesting improvements
Assisting with other marketing projects as needed

We're Looking For Someone Who...
Has strong graphic design skills
Understands what performs well on social media
Enjoys following online marketing trends
Thinks creatively and contributes ideas
Pays close attention to detail
Is organized and dependable
Communicates well in English
Can manage multiple restaurant brands and deadlines

We love team members who don't just ask:
"What graphic should I make?"

But instead ask:

How can we make this post more engaging?
What trend could this restaurant participate in?
How can we encourage more people to visit this weekend?
What content would people actually want to share?

Short-form video editing

Ads Management
Campaign objectives
Audience targeting
Retargeting
Meta Pixel
A/B testing
Campaign reporting
Budget management

If you haven't managed Meta Ads before but are eager to learn, that's perfectly okay.

This Position Is NOT For You If...
You only enjoy designing graphics without understanding marketing.
You dislike social media.
You prefer repeating the same designs every week.
You don't enjoy learning new trends.
You wait to be told exactly what to create.
You're uncomfortable sharing creative ideas.

This Position IS For You If...
You regularly think things like:
"This design could get more engagement if we changed the hook."
"This trend would work really well for one of our restaurants."
"This promotion deserves a better visual."
"We should create a Reel around this menu item."
"People would definitely tag their friends in this post."
You enjoy combining creativity with marketing.

What Success Looks Like
Success isn't measured by the number of graphics you create.
It's measured by creating content that helps restaurants achieve:
More engagement
More comments
More shares
More saves
More online orders
More reservations
More customers walking through the door

Our Core Values
Integrity
Ownership
Creativity
Curiosity
Coachability
Discipline
Continuous Improvement
Long-Term Commitment

We can teach new tools.
We can't teach curiosity, creativity, initiative, or a strong work ethic.

Please answer each question honestly. You may use AI for proofreading or organizing your thoughts, but your responses should reflect your own ideas and experience. We'll discuss your answers during the interview.

Choose any Mexican restaurant near you. What would you do over the next 30 days to increase customer traffic?
Give us three original social media ideas that could realistically go viral for that restaurant. Explain why.
A restaurant has 6,000 followers but only gets 8 to 15 likes per post. What do you believe they're doing wrong?
Tell us about a marketing campaign or social media project you're most proud of. Include measurable results if possible.
What brands or restaurants do you think have outstanding social media marketing? Why?
Tell us about a time you suggested an idea that wasn't requested but produced great results.
What marketing blogs, podcasts, YouTube channels, newsletters, or creators do you follow to stay current with trends?
If you've used Meta Ads, briefly describe your experience. If not, tell us what you'd like to learn about digital advertising.
If you've used GoHighLevel, describe the features you've worked with. If not, what CRM or marketing tools have you used instead?
Restaurant marketing experience is a plus. If you've worked with restaurants, tell us about your experience.
In your opinion, what makes someone drive 20 minutes to eat at a restaurant instead of choosing one closer to home?
