Spend ~15 hours per week focused on marketing strategy, brand storytelling, community partnerships, and social media
Spend the majority of your time leading alongside our team in restaurant operations, because that’s where brand, culture, and guest experience actually come to life
If you’re energized by live environments, people leadership, and hands-on execution, this role offers a rare chance to own how a nationally respected brand shows up locally, every day.
