About Blank Street
At Blank Street, we're on a mission to become the defining food and beverage brand of our generation. From the very beginning, we've set out to add a spark to ordinary experiences through elevated products, attention-to-detail, and a commitment to making every moment memorable. We're motivated by the millions of customers we serve across cities, and know that our potential is unlimited. It all starts with our people and their commitment to make magic happen each and every day.
Add a Spark to the Ordinary…
Blank Street is looking for a multidisciplinary Brand Designer with exceptional video editing skills and a strong eye for design, image-making and social content.
Reporting to the our Global Creative Director, this role is 4 days in-person and based out of our Brooklyn, NY office.
Who We're Looking For
- For you to think in motion, not just static. You understand pacing, sequencing, sound and storytelling—and can spot the five seconds buried in an hour of footage that could become a great piece of content.
- For you to be fluent in the language of social. You're constantly noticing interesting formats, editing techniques and visual ideas and thinking about how they could translate for Blank Street.
- For you to make as well as think. You're equally comfortable pulling references for an upcoming shoot, opening Premiere to build a cut, jumping into Photoshop to finish an image, or turning a stack of Polaroids into a social post.
- For you to find more in what we make. You can look at the raw material from a campaign, event or shoot and identify creative opportunities beyond the originally briefed deliverables.
- For you to move quickly without losing taste. You know when something needs specialist craft and when the better answer is simply to open the file and make it happen.
What You'll Own
- Lead design for new shop openings and activations from first concept to launch day
- Manage stakeholders, timelines and feedback across your projects
- Lead print and signage production, working directly with vendors on quality, budget and timelines
- Support the team in delivering campaign assets globally, across digital, social and print
- Partner with cross-functional teams to bring new products, shops and campaigns to life
- Stay sharp on design trends, competitive moves and cultural shifts, and bring what's relevant back to the team
Requirements
- 3-5 years in graphic, brand or environmental design. Retail or hospitality experience is a plus but not mandatory
- A portfolio of projects you've led from idea to finished work
- Confidence presenting work and explaining your design decisions to stakeholders
- Fluent in Adobe Creative Suite and Figma. After Effects or Premiere Pro is a plus
Benefits & Perks
- $90,000 - 110,000 annual salary
-
- Blank Street, in good faith, believes that the posted salary range is accurate for this role in New York City at the time of posting. Our salary ranges are rooted in the desire to pay competitively relative to our organization size and industry, reflecting just one part of the total compensation package. Blank Street may pay more or less than the posted range based on factors such as relevant experience and skills, qualifications and location, among others. This range may be modified in the future.
- Equity package [only for roles at HQ-office, L.5 and above]
- 15 days of paid annual leave (on top of company-observed holidays and sick time)
- Three health plan options, with full coverage available for two employee-only tiers
- Commuter benefits
- Parental leave
- Bereavement leave
- Exclusive access to our coveted Regulars program – yes, that means free coffee, matcha and more! ️
- Regular social outings with the team
- Free Blank Street swag
