About the Role

As a Senior Operations Leader, youll be the business leader of a Wonder location overseeing a shared kitchen that serves multiple brands, channels, and delivery methods.

Youll manage both employees and nonemployees (contract partners), drive business results, and represent Wonder in the local partner ecosystem. This is a unique opportunity for an experienced leader from operations, logistics, eCommerce, hospitality, or similar domains to build, manage and grow a complex operation.
