Job description

Build the platform. Scale the brand. Lead the growth.

An emerging, PE-backed franchise brand with a handful of locations is entering its next phase of growth and is looking for a hands-on Chief Operating Officer to help build the foundation for national expansion.

This is not a traditional COO role.

It’s an opportunity for a true operator and builder to get in early, roll up their sleeves, and directly impact virtually every aspect of the business.

Initially working with a lean team, this leader will wear multiple hats and help build the operational infrastructure, systems, processes, and culture needed to support rapid franchise growth.

The ideal candidate will come from the QSR segment with strong franchise operations experience across both traditional and non-traditional locations.

Most importantly, you are a builder.

You know how to take an emerging concept, create structure without creating bureaucracy, solve problems, develop people, and turn an operation into a scalable franchise system.

If the idea of taking a young franchise brand and helping build it into a national player gets your attention, this could be the opportunity you’ve been waiting for.

This is your chance to get in early and help write the playbook.
