- Identify opportunities for local promotions or partnerships that drive awareness and trial.
- Help us test, measure, and learn—gathering feedback and reporting on what’s working (and what’s not).
- Be the voice of DIG on the ground: whether attending a neighborhood block party or chatting with guests at the restaurant, you’ll represent our brand with passion and integrity.
