The Gig
At Tock, we go to great lengths to ensure every touchpoint of the brand is as beautiful and impactful as possible. As a modern creative organization, we hire aesthetically-motivated designers who have a process that can be applied across a range of deliverables. Our Brand Designers help build brand identities, marketing campaigns, brand partnerships, and content creation. You have a portfolio that expresses familiarity with most of these types of projects, and the ability to maintain an overarching brand aesthetic across channels. This is an opportunity to join a growing marketing team as a Senior Visual Designer that is passionate about designing a growing Consumer and Customer brand and has a love for all things food and dining.
You'll lead many digital projects-from ads, email newsletters, sales collateral, and social posts, to collaborating on websites, landing pages, and larger campaigns. The marketing team is a growing team of 11. We are tasked with the exciting responsibility of growing Tock's brand and building awareness for our company and product. We are creative and passionate about helping our customers, supporting our sales team, and attracting new guests to discover and book great experiences.
You would join as the third designer on the Marketing team, but would also be part of our larger, collaborative Product Design team. Although we may hold different responsibilities, we support each other and explore ideas and projects together, because our mission, brand, and visual identity touch and affect everything we do.
You will report directly to the Design Lead and will be based in Chicago. Please note, all Squarespace and Tock employees are working remotely at this time. We are closely monitoring the status of COVID-19 as we continue our work to build a return-to-work plan that ensures a safe return to our offices and provides flexibility for our employees.

  • Design many projects from ads, email newsletters, sales collateral, and social posts, to collaborating on websites, landing pages, and larger campaigns
  • Contribute to our guest outreach efforts and explore creative ways we can increase awareness and engagement-think editorial content, travel guides, dining newsletters, restaurant spotlights, interviews with chefs, behind-the-scenes interviews
  • Support our sales and account management teams with communication assets so they can more powerfully pitch Tock, onboard new restaurants, and keep our customers happy and informed.
  • Bring ideas that would level-up our visual brand while maintaining a high standard across all projects

  • Broad awareness of design and technology trends.
  • An inside-and-out knowledge of Figma/Sketch and Adobe Creative Cloud (Photoshop, Illustrator, Indesign)

An Insider's view of Tock

What’s the vibe like in the office?

The best way I can describe it is “chill focus”. It’s much different than the kitchens I came up in. The best part about working here is the people. No one is here simply for a paycheck, but to be a part of something bigger. Everyone helps move the company forward while still being a great person.

The 8 foot dinosaur watching over us helps too.

Jeremy

Hospitality Manager

What does your typical day look like?

Every day in sales here is different than the last, and we have the flexibility to create our own schedules. Some are spent researching and reaching perfect matches for Tock, some are spent meeting with some of the world's best chefs in the coolest cities, and some are spent rolling up our sleeves and ensuring successful onboarding for our clients.

Brian

Sales Development Executive Team Lead

What makes someone successful on your team?

A successful member of our team needs to be determined, passionate about our product and the success of our partners, persistent and flexible in trying new ways to reach potential new partners, and organized to easily manage your deals and leads. An optimistic and friendly attitude also goes a long way!

Maggie

Senior District Account Executive

What unique initiatives do you have that encourage innovation?

For those that love food and eating out, what if I asked you, where should I go to dinner. What would you say? Tough question, right? The restaurant scene in Chicago and across the entire world is more crowded now than ever before. So at Tock we’re helping restaurants compete and succeed with tools to make them better businesses.

Dan

Director of Design

How do you collaborate with other teams in the company?

I've never worked with a more collaborative, talented, and hard-working group of people, across all of our teams. Everyone is willing to learn and adapt as the company grows and scales. Not only do all departments have full visibility into what the others are doing, but we actively seek out ways to help and improve lines of communication.

Director of Account Management
