## Job description

sweetgreen is on a mission to build healthy communities by connecting people to real food. We passionately believe that real food should be convenient and accessible to everyone. Every day in each sweetgreen, team members make food from scratch, using fresh ingredients and produce delivered that morning. And in our local communities, we're committed to leaving people better than we found them. We're in the business of feeding people, and we're out to change what that means.

The Photographer & Content Specialist sits on the creative team and brings our creative vision to life through photo and short-form content across social and brand channels. This is a hands-on, multidisciplinary role for a photographer who is just as comfortable shooting polished hero imagery as they are capturing low-fi, culturally relevant content for our social platforms.

- Shoot food, product, lifestyle, and people photography that brings sweetgreen’s menu, partnerships, and campaigns to life, from hero imagery for launches to everyday brand content
- Concept, shoot, and edit short-form, lo-fi content for social (IG, TikTok, and similar), including lighting, styling, and composition, plus editing, music direction, color, and finishing
- Capture behind-the-scenes content in our restaurants and at events, partnerships, and team moments that show the people and food behind the brand
- Edit, color-correct, and lightly retouch your own work on occasion
- Keep our brand image library organized by tagging, naming, and filing what you shoot so the team can easily find and reuse it
- Steward the sweetgreen brand guidelines and visual systems, ensuring every image and video reflects our identity
- Drive ideation to support overall creative concepts
- Collaborate closely with the art director to find new ways of elevating the sweetgreen identity

Desired traits:

- A visual storyteller who understands brand voice and consistency
- A self-starter with a constant desire to improve and stay innovative in an ever-evolving marketplace
- Strong creative judgment, able to articulate ideas
- Highly collaborative and comfortable partnering with creative leads and cross-functional teams
- Organized and adaptable, able to manage high-volume work without losing quality
- A passion for photography, culture, food, sustainability, products, and trends

Desired experience:

- 5+ years of photography and content creation experience, preferably in-house
- A strong portfolio demonstrating food, product, lifestyle, and people photography
- Proven ability to concept, shoot, and edit short-form, lo-fi content for social (IG, TikTok, and similar)
- Fluency in Lightroom, Photoshop, and video editing software (Premiere or similar)
- Comfort shooting on location in restaurants, at events, and in a studio or kitchen setup
- Motion or animation skills (After Effects or similar) are a plus

What you'll get:

- Highly competitive pay + bonus plan
- Three different medical plans to suit your and your family's needs
- Dental and Vision insurance
- Flexible PTO plan
- 401k program
- Employee HSA and FSA
- Complimentary greens
- An opportunity to make a real impact on the people around you, both by growing them and by connecting them to real food
- To live the sweetlife and celebrate your passion + purpose
- A collaborative team of people who live our core values and have your back
