We’re looking for a Creative Designer who can turn big ideas into standout work across brand, digital, motion, social, print and in-store experiences.

You’ll own projects from concept to delivery, bring fresh thinking to the table and create work that cuts through. From scroll-stopping social content to bold campaigns and restaurant experiences, you’ll help shape how Wingstop looks, feels and connects with our audiences.

This is a role for a designer who combines creative flair with technical skill, thrives on collaboration and knows how to make great ideas happen.

Creative Ownership & Collaboration

• Own projects end to end, managing deadlines, feedback and competing priorities.
• Partner with Marketing, Operations, Construction and external suppliers to deliver creative across the business.
• Present concepts confidently, challenge briefs where needed and bring stakeholders along with your thinking.
• Develop templates, guidelines and design systems that help us deliver great creative at pace.

WHAT YOU’LL BRING

• A strong portfolio showcasing creative thinking, excellent execution and work across multiple channels.
• Multi-disciplinary design experience, spanning branding, digital and print, with hands‑on motion design capability.
• Adobe Creative Suite expertise, particularly Photoshop, Illustrator and InDesign, plus confident use of After Effects.
• Conceptual thinking, with the ability to take a brief and turn it into distinctive, effective creative.
• Digital and social know‑how, understanding what works across platforms and how to create content that earns attention.
• Project ownership, taking creative from initial idea through to final delivery while managing multiple deadlines.
• Stakeholder confidence, communicating ideas clearly, responding to feedback and collaborating across teams.
• An eye for detail, with high standards across typography, layout, artwork preparation and production.
• Commercial awareness, balancing creative ambition with brand objectives, practical requirements and deadlines.
• A finger on the pulse, bringing fresh ideas inspired by design, culture and emerging trends.

NICE TO HAVE

• Experience in hospitality, QSR, food, fashion, music, lifestyle or other culture‑led brands.
• Experience in an in‑house creative team, agency or design studio.
• Strong motion graphics, animation or video editing skills.
• Experience with out‑of‑home advertising, physical environments or restaurant openings.
• Experience building brand guidelines, templates and scalable design systems.
• An understanding of performance creative and how design influences campaign results.
