About The Position

Eater is looking for a temporary designer to join our marketing team and help bring one of the world's most trusted food and dining brands to life across every touchpoint. This role will focus largely on Eater’s mobile app, with design work touching paid social and performance campaigns, organic content and app store assets; in addition to supporting creative pitches and content execution for Eater’s advertising clients and Eater’s tentpole programs and advertising campaigns. Eater, the national food publication with outlets across the country, is at the forefront of reporting on the restaurant industry, shaping food culture with its award-winning journalism and programming, and telling people where to eat with its beloved maps and guides. Eater is part of Vox Media, the leading modern media company. We guide our audience from discovery to obsession. We inspire essential conversations about what’s now, what’s next, and what’s possible. As a community of journalists and storytellers, business professionals, creators and technologists, we believe it is a moral and business imperative to amplify voices: to cultivate diversity, equity, and inclusion throughout our organization and media. This applies to our candidates, our teams, our storytelling, our creative work, and our platforms, products, and partnerships.
