About ESCA
At ESCA, we challenge the ordinary. We craft modern Australian dining experiences across a portfolio of standout venues—AALIA, Ito, Nour, Lilymu, Henrietta (Surry Hills & Parramatta) and our vibrant bar, Joji. We champion creativity, individuality, and beautifully designed spaces that make every moment memorable.

The Opportunity
We’re looking for a Graphic Designer to bring our brands to life across print, digital, and in-venue touchpoints. You’ll own day-to-day production (menus, social assets, campaign collateral) while contributing fresh concepts that elevate our guest experience and keep our visuals sharp, consistent, and on-brand.

What you’ll do

Menu Design & Updates: Design and update menus for all ESCA venues; deliver accurate, print-ready and digital files on time, maintaining layout, typography, and brand consistency. Collaborate with Marketing team on print and distribution timelines.

Social & Digital Assets: Create weekly asset packs including static posts, stories, reels templates, and paid media assets. Adapt designs for Instagram, TikTok, LinkedIn, digital screens, websites, and EDMs—optimised for speed, format, and size.

Event & Campaign Creative: Build end-to-end collateral—posters, flyers, menus, out-of-home displays, and digital variants—delivered ahead of launch with smart variations for channel and format.

Creative Collaboration: Join briefs with the Senior Marketing Manager and Marketing Assistant; keep assets version-controlled and neatly organised for handover.

Brand Consistency & Innovation: Uphold brand guidelines across all venues while introducing thoughtful, trend-aware improvements and maintaining a library of templates for efficiency.

What you’ll bring

A sharp eye for typography, layout, and storytelling across print and digital.

Fluency with Adobe CC (Illustrator, InDesign, Photoshop) and Figma/Canva (bonus).

Experience designing for hospitality, retail, or lifestyle brands (menus + social a plus).

Comfort working in a fast, collaborative environment with clear deadlines and priorities.

A portfolio that shows brand guardianship, versatility, and production excellence. Please note that to be considered, a portfolio must be submitted and a small assessment will be required.

At least 3 years of experience.
