About the Opportunity

A rapidly growing, multi‑unit restaurant franchising organization is seeking a Restaurant Franchise Contract Specialist to support franchise development and compliance operations across domestic and international markets.

This role is critical to ensuring the accuracy, execution, and lifecycle management of franchise agreements, working cross‑functionally with Development, Legal, and Accounting teams.

If you have hands‑on experience managing franchise contracts and working within FranConnect, this is a high‑impact opportunity to join a fast‑paced, growth‑focused environment.

What You’ll Do

• Administer and manage all franchise‑related agreements including:
• Development Agreements
• Serve as the primary point of contact for contract‑related communication and timelines

Compliance & Tracking

• Monitor key compliance milestones, deadlines, and contractual obligations
• Proactively track and communicate action items across stakeholders
• Escalate risks and delays to leadership as needed

Systems & Reporting

• Maintain and enhance tracking systems to monitor transaction progress
• Ensure accuracy and integrity of all contract documentation and records
• Generate reporting on agreement status and compliance metrics

Cross‑Functional Collaboration

• Partner closely with Franchise Development, Legal, and Accounting teams
• Support updates and amendments to Franchise Disclosure Documents (FDDs), including state registrations

What We’re Looking For

Required

• Experience in franchise contract administration within the restaurant or franchising industry
• Strong understanding of franchise agreements, legal terminology, and compliance timelines
• Ability to manage multiple priorities in a deadline‑driven environment

Highly Preferred (Key Differentiator)

• Direct experience using FranConnect (this is a major plus and will strongly differentiate candidates)

Additional Qualifications

• Experience with CRM systems and contract/document management tools
• High attention to detail with a commitment to accuracy
• Proficiency in Microsoft Office (Excel, Word, Outlook) and Adobe Acrobat
• Strong communication and organizational skills

What You’ll Get

• Competitive base salary ($75K–$85K DOE)
• Comprehensive benefits: medical, dental, vision, PTO, and retirement plan
• Exposure to multi‑unit restaurant franchise growth and strategy
• Opportunity to work cross‑functionally with senior leadership
• A collaborative, fast‑moving culture with strong internal support

Why This Role Stands Out

This is more than a contracts role — it’s an opportunity to play a key part in the growth and compliance engine of a scaling restaurant franchise organization, with visibility across multiple departments and leadership teams.
