The right candidate will have the experience and knowledge to create and lead the product brief transition from start to completion.

Working collaboratively with a strategic approach, you will develop the product, menu, operational/brand standards, and processes while supporting the teams' L&D requirements.

Reviewing and auditing are key processes in the role, especially when it comes to margin management and operational improvement plans.
