We're seeking a Creative Content Specialist who can transform ideas into engaging graphics, video, and social media content — capturing stories from across our business. This is a hands-on, multi-disciplinary role for someone early in their career who is a true versatile player, equally comfortable with graphic design, video editing, and social strategy.

What You'll Do:

• Manage the full video production process, including editing, basic color correction, audio, and final delivery using tools such as Adobe Premiere Pro, Final Cut Pro, or CapCut.
• Develop and execute content strategies across Facebook, LinkedIn, and Instagram, including managing the content calendar, monitoring performance metrics, and optimizing content based on results.
• Engage with online audiences by responding to comments and messages while fostering an authentic social media community.
• Capture photo and video content at company events and provide live event coverage, social media posts, stories, and polished post-event recap content.
• Write engaging social media captions and other short-form internal communications, including text messages and company announcements, while ensuring content is accurate, on brand, and aligned with KBP's voice.
• Collaborate across departments to bring company stories to life through compelling visual and written content.
• Maintain flexibility to support occasional evening or weekend events as business needs require.

What We're Looking For:

• Bachelor's degree in Graphic Design, Communications, Marketing, or a related field (or equivalent practical experience).
• 3+ years of professional experience spanning graphic design, video editing, and/or social media (internships and freelance work count).
• A true multi-hyphenate creative, comfortable moving between design, video, and social platforms, with hands-on experience in at least two of these disciplines.
• Proficiency in Adobe Creative Suite (Photoshop, Illustrator, and/or InDesign) for design work.
• Working knowledge of video editing tools such as Premiere Pro, Final Cut Pro, CapCut, or similar.
• Solid writing and copy-editing skills.
• A portfolio demonstrating range across design and video work is required for consideration.
• Creative and strategic thinker with the ability to own a plan and execute against it.
• Strong storytelling instincts across visual, video, and written formats.
• Highly organized with the ability to manage multiple projects and deadlines.
• Comfortable with occasional flexible hours around key events.
• Experience managing a brand's social media presence, especially growing a following from scratch, is preferred.
• Familiarity with social scheduling and analytics tools is preferred.
• Restaurant or franchise business experience is preferred.
