About the Company

Together Hospitality creates restaurant and bar concepts that feel memorable, local, and worth returning to. Over the last ten years, the team has launched and operated several brands in Pune and Goa, such as Elephant & Co., Cobbler & Crew, Juju, Gather, and Izipizi Street.

The company treats restaurants as end-to-end experiences, bringing together food, beverages, service, visual identity, music, and ambience. Its approach is built on thoughtful brand strategy, reliable operating systems, and disciplined execution, with a focus on long-term relevance, repeat customers, and healthy unit economics rather than short-lived trends. Together Hospitality also emphasizes hospitality as a core operating principle and invests in its people, partners, and collaborators.

Role Overview

This is a full-time, on-site Art Director position in the Pune Division. The role owns the visual identity and creative direction across several hospitality brands, ensuring a consistent look and feel across venue spaces, menus, signage, digital platforms, and marketing materials.

What You Will Do

You will shape brand stories through visual concepts and bring them to life through mood boards, design systems, and creative direction. You will work closely with operations, marketing, culinary, and bar teams to turn brand strategy into cohesive guest experiences.

The role also includes supervising graphic design deliverables, mentoring both internal and external designers, reviewing creative output, and maintaining a consistently high standard across print and digital assets.
