  • Serve as the first line of communication with the IDQ field teams on assigned projects and strategic initiatives. Troubleshoot and recommend courses of action to resolve identified field-related issues.
  • Demonstrate initiative, strategic insight and planning skills, by independently and proactively identifying issues and potential project-related problems, bringing together appropriate decision makers, suggesting resolution options when appropriate, and ensuring that the right decisions are made.
  • Create templates for project updates and scorecards. Oversee the distribution and monitoring of reports and progress for assigned initiatives. Brief management on status, risks and mitigation steps.
  • Be the foremost subject matter expert on navigation and use of internal technology solutions. Utilize solutions to generate relevant and prudent information enabling field operations and other cross-functional teams to track, monitor, and analyze toward establishing business decisions and solutions.
  • Consistently evaluate systems and processes, identifying areas to gain efficiencies and establish plan of build-out and deployment, maximizing organizational effectiveness.
  • Work in collaboration with departments across the organization (retail technology, supply chain, corporate communications, curriculum, equipment, marketing, etc.), providing resources as needed on special projects or unforeseen issues.
  • Analyze, develop, and track important company metrics against goals and providing timely and accurate reporting to company leaders.
  • Create scalable and repeatable reporting processes by leveraging resources, technologies, and data analytics; continually exploring opportunities to improve through automations and efficiencies.

Other Assignments as Needed:

  • Analyze market trends and incorporate strategic vision to create and oversee operational programs. Develop and monitor programs over multi-year timelines.
  • Research various operational related issues and questions that arise from the Operations executive team. Provide recommendations and guidance as needed maintaining alignment with the Operations strategic roadmap.
  • Respond to communications from customers and franchisees regarding operational issues in a timely manner.
  • Special assignments and other duties as needed per the direction of Director or VP of CSS.
  • Provide clear and relevant updates or training during Operations, Supply Chain, and various franchisee sub-committees meetings, as needed.

Qualifications

  • Bachelor's degree in Business, Communications or a related field, or equivalent combination of education and work experience.
  • Track record successfully and independently managing operations strategic initiatives and projects, including independently creating plans and managing scope and budget.
  • Must have a minimum of 7+ years of food service or retail operations project management or business analysis experience.
  • Experience managing employees, ideally data analysts and/or project coordinators.
  • Strong demonstrated ability to lead, coach and direct a team.
  • Experience working within a franchisor organization (training or operations experience a plus), preferably a QSR brand at a multi-unit level.
  • Strategic thinker with strong operational expertise in finding solutions for problems.
  • Excellent written and verbal business communication skills.
  • Strong analytical skills.
  • Strong technical aptitude. Proficient in Microsoft Word, Excel, Power Point & Smartsheets, etc.
  • Ability to work quickly in a fast-paced environment with frequent interruptions.
