Job description

Forget the ten-line wish list; McDonalds wants an Editor in Salinas, CA who is sharp on Change Management and serious about the work. Frame it as McDonalds trusting your 3 years with $79,000 - $114,000, a general mandate, and the room to grow into leadership.

Key Responsibilities

• Defend the Negotiation fundamentals when speed tempts everyone to skip them
• Show up for the unglamorous general maintenance nobody volunteers for
• Keep mid-level expectations grounded in what the hybrid role can deliver
• Close the loop on every Salinas request you touch
• Keep McDonalds leadership honest with numbers they can act on
• Convert Conflict Resolution chaos into a backlog someone can actually work
• Own one slice of McDonalds's general mission end to end
• Hand off Negotiation work clean enough that nobody has to ask twice

What You'll Bring

• Comfort being measured against a clear mid-level bar
• At least 4 years of standing behind your own estimates
• A solid foundation in Collaboration, refined over 3+ years
• The discipline to finish the boring 20% that makes the rest matter
• Resilience measured across 3 years of general cycles
• Prior experience working on-site in Salinas, CA, or willingness to relocate
• Mid-level-caliber judgment about when to escape and when to absorb

Three things define McDonalds: a Salinas address, a craft-obsessed culture, and a near-religious devotion to Mentoring. Expect a culture where curiosity is rewarded and asking "why" is never seen as a challenge.

Step into $79,000 - $114,000, real mentorship, a benefits package that delivers, and the kind of flexible hybrid rhythm people rarely leave.

Nothing stale here: the Editor slot was re-confirmed open earlier today.
