Designer, UX

As a Senior UX Designer at CAVA, you will lead

design strategy and execution for major guest-facing digital initiatives —

shaping how millions of guests interact with our mobile app, website, catering

experience and more. At the Senior Manager level, you’ll own complex product

areas, drive alignment across stakeholders, and influence the future of digital

dining at CAVA. You will report to the Director of UX Design and serve as a

quality across the organization.
