Job Title:

Job Description:
Scope of the Role Over the past 5 years, out-of-home consumption of food and beverages has increased dramatically, driven by a number of factors: 1) a labor force that is spending more time at the office; 2) a world that seems to move quicker every day, placing higher demands on people’s time; and 3) the increasing specialization of, and demand for premium foods and beverages (e.g., specialty coffee).

As well, this role will be critical in ensuring the effective translation of strategy to the front line through simple, compelling, focused programs and materials which remains an area of significant opportunity. Key levers for achieving these goals include: • Utilizing customer marketing insights to improve messaging and programming for beverage-related programs • Developing materials to effectively communicate beverage strategy elements to operators • Developing systems to improve beverage data-based knowledge to track/measure performance and inform future decisions Scope of the Role, cont’d • Working closely with Beverage Operations managers in the LOB to aid and ensure translation of beverage strategy elements as they contribute to the overall retail experience • Creating and leveraging strategic, complementary, third-party relationships • Enhancing supplier relationships with PepsiCo, SaraLee, and Nestle • Serving as liaison with Java City and Starbucks (non-licensed) to optimize operations and marketing initiatives • Improving the impact/ROI of tactical Marketing plans Candidate Profile Experience Base • 5+ years of Foodservice experience, demonstrating a record of progressively increasing responsibility.
