Do you dream in pepperoni and strategize in cheese? Can you lead a team faster than dough can rise? Then grab your apron and your ambition — Papa John’s Pizza wants you as our next Shift Manager!

We’re looking for a high-energy, hands‑on leader who can:

• Run the show when the GM’s away (and sometimes when they’re not!)
• Keep the vibe high, the orders flying, and the ovens hot

• Coach, support, and motivate your crew like the MVP you are

What’s in it for you?

• A crew that feels like family (pizza parties included)
• Growth opportunities — we love promoting from within!
• Competitive pay, bonus potential, and employee discounts (hello, free pizza!)
• Real leadership experience in a fast-paced, people-focused environment

You bring:

• Some management or food service experience (bonus points for pizza passion)
• A love for leading, problem-solving, and keeping things running smoothly
• A positive attitude, hustle, and the ability to work nights & weekends

Apply now and help us deliver more than just great pizza — we deliver awesome experiences.
