Creative Content Lead

Starr Restaurants is seeking a highly creative visual storyteller to help lead the next evolution of content across our restaurant portfolio.

As social and digital storytelling continue to shape how hospitality brands connect with audiences, this role is intended to elevate the originality, cultural relevance, and creative quality of content across Starr Restaurants’ concepts while helping define a stronger and more distinct visual identity for each brand online.

This is not a traditional social media role.
We are looking for someone who lives at the intersection of hospitality, culture, design, internet behavior, storytelling, and aesthetics — and knows how to turn restaurants into experiences people want to watch, share, and talk about.

The ideal candidate understands nuance and brand identity across a wide variety of concepts. This role will help shape creative direction, elevate visual standards, guide storytelling approaches, and collaborate across departments to ensure content feels original, intentional, and culturally relevant.

We are not looking for someone who simply takes good photos or videos. We are looking for someone with a strong point of view — someone imaginative, instinctive, curious, and culturally aware.
