Job Description

Who We Are: 7 Leaves Café is more than a coffee and tea shop. We are a mission-driven specialty beverage brand and a gathering place built on connection, culture, and craft. Since opening our first store in 2011, a small dream shared by siblings and friends has grown into over 40 locations across California, Nevada, and Arizona, with more than 1,200 team members. Our mission is simple: enrich the human experience through thoughtfully crafted beverages, a welcoming environment, and a people first culture.

Guided by servant leadership and community impact, we cultivate leaders at every level and foster a workplace where team members thrive, make an impact, and deliver WOW every day.

Position Summary: This role sits on the Brand team and focuses on packaging, in-store design, and physical brand touchpoints across a growing fleet of cafés. You'll bring the 7 Leaves brand to life in real-world environments, ensuring every detail is intentional, consistent, and on-brand.

Working closely with Marketing, Product, and Operations, you'll own design execution from concept through production-balancing creativity with scalability and operational needs. This hands-on role is ideal for a designer who understands systems, production, and physical brand execution, not just aesthetics.

Position Details & Work Requirements:

Salary Range - $71,000k - $75,000K (Exempt)

Location - Onsite at our Huntington Beach Corporate Office

  • Work Environment: Hybrid, with 3 days in office and 2 days remote with occasional visits to stores or field locations
  • Physical Requirements: Must be able to sit for extended periods and occasionally lift up to 15 lbs. Reasonable accommodations will be provided for qualified individuals.

What You'll Do:

  • Design and execute restaurant packaging, including cups, bags, straws, napkins, sleeves, and labels.
  • Design menus across in-store, drive-thru, seasonal, and promotional formats.
  • Apply and help maintain brand guidelines across all physical and digital touchpoints to ensure consistency and quality.
  • Support seasonal campaigns, limited-time offers, and special collaborations from concept through execution.
  • Manage quarterly photoshoots with external photographers, including creative direction, shot lists, on-set brand oversight, and post-production asset alignment.
  • Support creative needs for licensed partnerships; experience working with licensed IP is a plus.
  • Partner cross-functionally with Marketing, Product, and Operations to ensure designs are production-ready, operationally sound, and on-brand.
  • Contribute light motion or video work for screens, social content, or internal presentations as needed.

What Success Looks Like:

Success in this role will be measured by improvements in:

  • Packaging designs are visually compelling, on-brand, and production-ready.
  • The 7 Leaves brand is applied consistently across all physical and digital touchpoints.
  • Design assets support brand storytelling, seasonal launches, and café experiences.
  • Projects move efficiently from concept to execution with minimal revisions.
  • Cross-functional partners trust design as a strategic contributor, not just a service function.

What We're Looking For:

  • Proficient in Adobe Creative Cloud (Illustrator, Photoshop, InDesign required)
  • Comfortable using Canva for fast, collaborative brand workflows
  • Familiarity with Final Cut Pro or other video editing tools
  • Curious and capable with AI-assisted creative tools (e.g. Sora, Nana Banana, or similar platforms)
  • Strong understanding of print production, specs, and vendor handoffs
  • Organized, detail-oriented, and comfortable managing multiple timelines
  • Thoughtful collaborator who brings ideas-but respects brand system
  • Experience supporting multi-location brands preferred
  • Understanding of how design decisions impact operations, cost, and scalability preferred
  • Passion for food, beverage, and culture-led brands preferred

Why You'll Love Working Here:

  • Stay fueled and inspired: Enjoy your favorite handcrafted drinks on and off the clock with team member discounts.
  • Comprehensive benefits: Medical, dental, and vision plans available for eligible team members to support your health and well-being.
  • A culture that matters: Join a team that values authenticity, collaboration, and fun - where your personality and ideas are welcomed.
  • Grow and be rewarded: Eligible Team Members will participate in our Annual Bonus Pool and be recognized for your contributions and impact.
  • Career development: Take advantage of mentorship, hands-on training, and opportunities to advance within the company.

If you're passionate about design and building cohesive brand experiences, we'd love to brew something great together!
