• Strong project-management and collaboration skills, with the ability to manage multiple deadlines, stakeholders, and changing priorities.
• Ability to create photo and video content using mobile devices and appropriate production equipment and to work regularly at Seattle-area and regional restaurant, event, and community locations, including occasional evenings and weekends.
• Ability to comply with applicable company policies regarding in-restaurant hygiene, wardrobe, safety, and standards, with reasonable accommodation as required by law.

• Experience with restaurant, retail, hospitality, food-and-beverage, or other consumer-facing brands; creator/influencer or community-partnership programs; and/or social listening and approved AI-enabled marketing tools.
