Responsibilities
- Support brand category strategy: Support the category strategy for assigned brands, contributing to menu planning, LTO calendar inputs, and brand-level performance reviews.
- Support LTO execution: Help execute LTOs end-to-end — contributing to briefs, coordinating cross-functional inputs, tracking timelines, and pulling together recap analyses post-launch.
- Support new concept development: Assist on new menu item and concept development workstreams, including supporting concept testing logistics, organizing consumer research inputs, and helping translate findings into next-step recommendations.
- Support menu performance tracking: Build and maintain item- and category-level performance dashboards, surfacing trends in sales, mix, margin, and guest behavior to support menu optimization decisions.
- Stay close to the market: Track culinary trends, competitive moves, and category dynamics, and synthesize learnings into clear, useful inputs for the broader team.
Requirements
- 2–4 years of relevant experience in category management, brand management, strategy, consulting, finance, insights, or a similar analytical role — ideally with exposure to restaurants, food, retail, or CPG.
- Strong Excel and data analysis fluency — comfortable working with large datasets, building models and trackers from scratch, and turning raw data into clear insight.
- Strong analytical skills with the ability to make data-driven recommendations.
- Excellent verbal and written communication skills, with the ability to collaborate across departments.
- Ability to prioritize multiple tasks, work under pressure, and meet deadlines in a fast-paced environment.
- Detail-oriented, organized, and proactive — you take ownership of your workstreams and follow through without needing to be chased.
- Curious about food, restaurants, and how menus actually drive a business.
