About The Position

As a Senior Operations Leader, you’ll be the business leader of a Wonder location overseeing a shared kitchen that serves multiple brands, channels, and delivery methods. This role goes far beyond food service. You will lead a multifunctional team, manage cross brand collaboration in a single facility, and own the local P&L like a true General Manager. Success in this role requires operational dexterity: you may be navigating staffing decisions one moment and vendor relations the next. You’ll 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.
