Own the food strategy for a growing 12-store convenience retail business.

You’ll drive menu innovation, pricing strategy, grab-and-go programs, promotions, and food trends while partnering with operations to bring those ideas to life. This is a hands‑on commercial leadership role where you’ll shape what customers eat and how they buy.

You’ll own the commercial strategy for our foodservice business; from identifying emerging food trends and building innovative grab‑and‑go programs to developing menu assortments, pricing strategies, promotions, and category growth initiatives that drive sales across all 12 locations.

• Establish pricing strategy, including price architecture, value positioning, and margin optimization.
• Build, manage, and continuously optimize a data‑driven promotional and marketing calendar.
• Identify, develop, and expand key dayparts (e.g., breakfast, lunch, late‑night) to increase traffic and sales.
• Analyze sales, margin, and customer data to identify trends, risks, and opportunities; adjust strategy accordingly.
• Develop and implement bundling, upselling, and attach‑rate initiatives to increase average transaction value.
• Partner cross‑functionally with culinary, operations, marketing, and supply chain teams to ensure successful execution.
• Define and track key performance indicators (KPIs) and hold teams accountable to performance targets.
• Evaluate competitive landscape and industry trends to inform strategic direction.
• Support testing, piloting, and scaling of new products, programs, and operational initiatives.
• Identify opportunities to improve operational efficiency while maintaining product quality and consistency.
