Graphic Designer

Tired of reading these employment ads and wondering where the RIGHT opportunity is for you? Here are the simple reasons you WANT to work at Pluckers.

We have among the best pay and benefits in the restaurant business:

• Our health insurance is among the best in the industry and we cover 100% of health, dental and vision for corporate office employees.
• 15 paid vacation/personal days off every year, plus paid holidays!
• Free meals at Pluckers – a $650 value each quarter!
• An invitation to our annual parties including a first-class trip every January to places like New Orleans, Miami or Las Vegas.

Pluckers is based in Austin and has finished in the Top 25 Businesses Overall to Work for five times by the Austin Business Journal.

 

The mission of the Graphic Designer role is simple: make Pluckers look as good as it tastes. Think bold, eye-catching design that stops thumbs on social, grabs attention on a menu, and makes people crave wings the second they see it. You'll turn strategy into visuals that are sharp, fun, a little unexpected in the best way, and unmistakably Pluckers — built to drive real brand love and real sales, not just likes.

The Graphic Designer is a core piece of our in-house marketing crew, turning campaigns, promos, game-day hype, and everyday brand moments into graphics people actually stop and look at. This role is heavy on graphic design — for social, print, in-store, and more — and you'll own it from first sketch to final file. Bottom line: what you make is how Pluckers looks everywhere it shows up.

This role needs someone with the creativity to design new content from scratch, but who's also not above rolling up their sleeves for quick edits and tweaks to work that already exists — big swings and small fixes both matter here. You'll collaborate closely with fellow marketing team members like our Social Media Manager, Events and Entertainment Coordinator, and Video Team, and you'll produce content for multiple departments across the company, so range and reliability both go a long way.

Above all, we're looking for someone who wants to get better every single day and actually welcomes feedback instead of dreading it. Self-motivated, easygoing, hardworking — someone who brings good energy to the team and takes the work (but not themselves) seriously.
