This executive will partner closely with Operations, Franchise Development, Finance, Culinary, Technology, and Human Resources to ensure marketing initiatives deliver measurable business results across both corporate and franchise locations.

We are not looking for a traditional brand marketer whose success is measured by creative campaigns or advertising awards.
We are seeking a commercially minded executive who understands how marketing drives restaurant performance. This leader should be equally comfortable discussing media attribution, loyalty strategy, guest frequency, menu innovation, local restaurant marketing, franchise support, and financial performance.
Success in this role will be measured by the organization's ability to grow sales, improve guest engagement, strengthen franchisee performance, and build a scalable marketing organization capable of supporting aggressive expansion.
