About Sweetgreen
sweetgreen is on a mission to build healthy communities by connecting people to real food. We passionately believe that real food should be convenient and accessible to everyone. Every day in each sweetgreen, team members make food from scratch, using fresh ingredients and produce delivered that morning. And in our local communities, we're committed to leaving people better than we found them. We're in the business of feeding people, and we're out to change what that means.
The Photographer & Content Specialist sits on the creative team and brings our creative vision to life through photo and short-form content across social and brand channels. This is a hands-on, multidisciplinary role for a photographer who is just as comfortable shooting polished hero imagery as they are capturing low-fi, culturally relevant content for our social platforms. You will partner closely with our art director to protect the sweetgreen identity while finding fresh ways to push it forward, and you will help us show up in culture in real time.
