Job description

At Picnic, we’re reinventing the way employees experience lunch at work. By partnering with top local restaurants and batching hundreds of orders, we make it easy for companies to offer high-quality, individually packed meals, without fees or tips. Our mission is to create a seamless, affordable, and joyful lunch experience that benefits both employees and employers.

About the role

We are looking for a Senior Brand and Growth Designer to help scale Picnic through high-performing creative across acquisition, activation, and retention. This web-first, growth-minded brand design role involves building and iterating on landing pages, ads, lifecycle campaigns, and key product touchpoints that move funnel metrics while maintaining a high bar for craft.

This is a senior individual contributor role with no direct people management. You will lead by craft, clarity, and momentum, partnering closely with Marketing and Product to ship work quickly, learn from experiments, and ensure Picnic feels consistent everywhere it shows up.

What you’ll do

• Partner deeply with Marketing and Product to translate goals into creative strategies, concepts, and shippable experiments.
• Lead projects end to end from scoping and ideation through design, production, QA, and launch while setting clear expectations on timelines and trade-offs.
• Collaborate closely with developers to ensure implementation quality, performance, accessibility, and clean handoff.
• Create lightweight systems that scale such as templates, modules, reusable components, and practical guidelines that increase speed and consistency.
• Support physical and print touchpoints for Picnic in the office such as signage, quick start guides, swag, and event collateral while keeping the brand cohesive with digital.
• Raise the craft bar through typography, layout, hierarchy, and polish while keeping velocity high.
• Mentor by influence by providing feedback and direction to peers when needed.
• Build a tight feedback loop with real users by conducting lightweight research regularly, including quick interviews, usability tests, on-site observation, and message testing.
• Attend office activations and launches to test in the real environment, observe behavior, identify friction, and capture insights firsthand.

What we’re looking for

• Experience managing design team resources, external freelancers, agencies, etc.
• Growth design fluency with demonstrable impact designing against funnels, metrics, experimentation, and iteration.
• Web-first craft with strong typography, layout systems, and conversion-oriented instincts.
• A data-driven mindset: you are comfortable using data to form hypotheses, prioritize work, and evaluate outcomes. You can interpret funnel metrics and experiment results (GA, Mixpanel, Looker, Amplitude, or similar), connect insights back to creative decisions, and communicate what you learned and what you will do next.
• High autonomy with the ability to organize your own work, manage priorities, and drive projects forward without heavy oversight.
• Cross-functional collaboration skills with marketers, PMs, writers, and developers, and the ability to communicate decisions clearly.
• Systems thinking with an ability to build reusable patterns and lightweight guidelines that scale.

The extra scoop

• Picnic is a brand that lives in both digital funnels and the real world. This role sits at that intersection, driving measurable growth through web and lifecycle design while shaping the physical brand moments that make Picnic feel trusted, simple, and repeatable.
• You’re energized by fieldwork: you will show up to office activations, observe behavior, talk to admins and eaters, and translate what you learn into sharper onboarding, signage, and in-the-moment guidance.
• Drive real impact: Be part of building the operational engine behind a fast-growing startup that’s redefining how work gets done.
• Own your city: Take full ownership of your city’s performance and see the direct results of your ideas and execution every single day.
• Work with purpose: Join a mission-driven team focused on making the workplace experience better for thousands of people.
• Grow with us: At Picnic, there’s room to grow, personally and professionally, as we scale and take on new challenges together.
