Join Our Leadership Team at Chick-fil-A Draper & Chick-fil-A South Towne Marketplace

At Chick-fil-A, this is more than a job—it’s an opportunity to lead, influence, and make a lasting impact. We are seeking a high-level senior leader who is passionate about developing people, driving operational excellence, and shaping a strong, values-based culture.

This is not an entry-level role. We are looking for an experienced leader who is ready to take ownership, build high-performing teams, and partner closely with ownership to execute the vision of the business.

Position Overview

As a Senior Leader, you will be responsible for overseeing daily operations, developing leaders within the organization, and ensuring exceptional guest experiences at both locations.

• Ability to think strategically while executing at a high level day-to-day
• Excellent communication, organization, and problem-solving skills
• High level of accountability, ownership, and professionalism
