Brand Executive

WE’RE LOOKING FOR SOMEONE CREATIVE, ORGANISED, RESOURCEFUL, SPARKY AND FANTASTICALLY BIG-HEARTED TO JOIN DISHOOM’S CREATIVE TEAM. Brimful of ideas, initiative and enthusiasm, you will be at the heart of how our brand comes alive. From the artwork on café walls to the campaigns that bring guests through our doors, this is a hands‑on role and no two days are the same!

You’ll support the delivery of first‑class creative across our existing cafés and new openings, working closely with the Senior Brand Manager and Creative Director. One day you might be researching 1950s Bombay typography and perhaps uncovering the intricacies of a heist! The next, you’ll be collaborating with artists and designers and coordinating a cacophony of frames.

You’ll play an instrumental role in carrying out creative research, putting forward fun and interesting ideas, ideating creative concepts and finally, bringing them to life. If you’re energised by variety, thrive on detail, and care deeply about craft, keep reading!
