POSITION SUMMARY:
The PM Lounge is a private, members-only lounge delivering a luxury hospitality experience unlike anything else in the Central Valley. Since opening on February 9th, we've experienced strong momentum and continued growth. As we scale, we're looking to bring on a Brand Designer to help refine, evolve, and elevate our visual identity across every touchpoint.
This is not a production-only role. We are looking for a designer who understands branding as a system, someone who can think conceptually, design intentionally, and execute at a high level of craft. This person will play a key role in shaping how the brand looks, feels, and communicates across both physical and digital environments.
Because we operate in a fast-moving environment, adaptability, ownership, and strong creative instincts are essential. We're looking for a designer who wants to help build something from the ground up, someone who understands brand as experience, not just aesthetics.
