The Manager prioritizes a portfolio of operational initiatives, sets the analytical standards for priority projects, and serves as a trusted analytical partner to senior leaders across Operations, Marketing, Digital, Finance, and Training, as well as franchisee partners. The role turns complex data into confident decisions, shapes operational strategy with credible evidence, and builds AI-enabled analytics capabilities.

• Drive AI and automation adoption in analytics work by evaluating new tools against real workflows, setting guardrails for AI-assisted analysis, and building team playbooks, prompts, and review standards.
• Lead analytical evaluations of test markets, pilots, and operational initiatives, including impact methodology and clear go or no-go recommendations for leadership.
• Drive root cause analysis across Guest Satisfaction, Speed of Service, Brand Audits, Training Completions, and other KPIs, apply AI-based sentiment analysis to guest feedback at scale, and turn findings into prioritized interventions with owners and timelines.
• Set the analytics strategy, roadmap, and operating model, balancing recurring reporting, ad hoc requests, and strategic projects against capacity and business impact, with clear intake, service levels, and prioritization.
• Lead executive communication and cross-functional alignment, developing leadership presentations and aligning Operations, Marketing, Digital, Finance, Training, and franchisee partners on shared metrics and initiatives.
• Set data quality and governance standards for operational reporting, partner with RBI data teams to define certified metrics, and oversee dashboards and analytical tools with clear documentation and reuse.
• Serve as the analytical lead on priority projects, setting methodology and quality standards and reviewing analysis for rigor, without direct people management responsibilities.

• 4+ years of experience in an analytical role with executive visibility and measurable business impact.
• Bachelor's degree in Business, Data Science, Statistics, Finance, Analytics, or a related technical field.
• Hands-on experience building real analytics tools with AI, such as LLM-based workflows, AI-assisted coding, or development in BI platforms and the ability to walk through 2 to 3 real examples of processes/tools you built.
• Ability to evaluate AI output critically, including accuracy checks and data guardrails.
• Experience influencing peers and senior stakeholders without direct reports, with strong communication skills for translating complex analysis into clear recommendations for executive audiences.
