Senior Designer
At MarginEdge, we believe great design isn’t just decoration—it’s how we connect, communicate, and stand out in a crowded space. We’re looking for a sharp, creative Senior Designer to shape how the world sees us across every touchpoint.
From product launches to pitch decks, you’ll bring our brand to life in ways that are bold, smart and impossible to ignore. You’ll be joining a collaborative, fast-moving team that genuinely enjoys building things together. We care about feedback, good vibes and getting the details right. This isn’t a role where you’ll just make things pretty. You’ll have a seat at the table as we define and evolve our brand.
Getting excited? Me too! Let’s dive in!
MarginEdge: Where hospitality meets technology
As a team built by former (and current!) restaurant operators, our mission is to bring operators the same energy, attention to detail, and passion that they bring to their guests. Our culture is deeply rooted in service, partially because that’s where so many of our team come from (including everyone on our Business Development team), but also because we believe it is just the right way to run a business. We design our software with profound empathy for the complexity of running a restaurant, and the goal of making the magic just a little easier for operators by taking the complex (read: very annoying) back office tasks off their plate, while empowering them with real-time data.
Our founders share a deep history in both owning and operating restaurants and in building successful tech companies. We are venture-backed and serve 10,000+ restaurants across the US and Canada.
We enable restaurants to make magic while knowing we are doing the same for them.
We have the utmost respect for our clients and because of this, we are unable to hire their current employees.
What type of responsibilities will I have?
- Design standout sales materials—brochures, one-pagers, case studies, pitch decks, product sheets—that help our team close deals and tell compelling stories
- Turn complex ideas into clear, engaging explainer graphics and videos
- Keep our brand consistent across all touchpoints, while finding smart ways to keep it fresh
- Build and manage templates, prompts and systems that help our teams move faster without breaking the brand
- Collaborate with the Growth and Product Marketing teams to create beautiful, strategic campaign assets
- Help evolve our brand guidelines as we grow, ensuring they scale with us across marketing and product
- Stay in the loop on design trends, marketing best practices, and UX principles to keep our work sharp and relevant
- Mentor and support other designers, providing thoughtful feedback and guidance
- What qualifications or skills are required?
- 5+ years of experience in brand or visual design (bonus if it's in B2B)
- A strong portfolio of multi-channel brand work
- Expertise in Adobe Creative Suite—especially InDesign—and experience using AI to enhance marketing or creative workflows
- A sharp eye for typography, layout, hierarchy, and visual systems
- A love for building scalable frameworks and design systems
- Comfort juggling multiple projects and deadlines in a fast-paced, feedback-rich environment
- Deep understanding of how to scale a brand without losing its soul
Nice to Haves:
- Web design chops—you know how to guide viewers to the right CTA and to optimize for lead gen
- Motion or video skills—you can tell a compelling story through sizzle reels, case studies and how-to videos
- Familiarity with the restaurant industry or restaurant tech (or at least in a long-term relationship with food)
- Experience in a high-growth, venture-backed startup
What’s it like to work for MarginEdge?
Imagine the fun of a great restaurant - surrounded by a team of people (including some that you help to manage!) who care about hospitality, care about quality, and care about each other - then subtract the long nights, weekends, drunk customers at the bar...et voila, MarginEdge!
We work hard, we work fast and we fuel our work with a commitment of transparency from leadership, straight talk and trust between teams. We believe that the best people do their best work when they feel empowered - so whether you are remote or in our office (likely eating a catered lunch from our clients in our baller, brand new penthouse HQ in Ballston) you get to work with your manager to call your shot on what works best for you. Did we mention it has a full commercial kitchen and is walking distance (covered walking, that is) from the metro?
Benefits (Shut the Front Door, They are Amazing)
In order to fuel this rocket ship, we need to build a team as passionate about our work and product as we are. We believe that top talent (that’s you!) should feel deeply connected to their work, appreciated for the time they give to building our organization and have the balance necessary to give their best during work hours and all those after-hours too. We do this by offering a suite of kick ass benefits not only to be competitive and catch the eye of super smart people (that’s you again!) but also provide the foundation for a career you love and a life outside of work you love just as much.
- Unlimited Paid Time Off (and we mean it, we encourage your healthy work life balance!)
- Medical, Dental, Vision, and Short/Long-Term Disability Insurance (preventative care for the win)
- Health Savings Account with employer match (dependent upon your medical plan selection)
- Commuter benefits with employer contribution (excluding limos and helos - for now)
- Generous Life Insurance Plan
- Short- and Long-term Disability
- Company-Paid Holidays
- 401(k) and matching
- Stock Options to buy into everything we are doing to support this industry
- 12-week fully Paid Parental Leave
- Lunch catered twice a week at our HQ in Arlington (we exclusively cater from our clients, too!
- A wellness program that sponsors healthy activities such as step challenges and provides discounts to gyms and fitness classes.
