Executive Stakeholder Management

  • Serve as the primary liaison between business and technology teams, ensuring clarity of priorities, issue resolution, and delivery of new capabilities.
  • Anticipate business needs and proactively identify opportunities where technology can improve operations, efficiency, and customer experience.

Consulting & Business Development Contribution

  • Executive-facing communication and expectation management
  • Identification and development of new business opportunities within client accounts
  • Work collaboratively with leadership to expand restaurant technology engagements through thought leadership and strategic partnership.

Required Qualifications

  • Deep expertise with Point-of-Sale (POS) platforms commonly used in QSR environments; experience with brands such as Domino’s, Starbucks, McDonald’s, or similar preferred.
  • Strong IT background with experience across the Software Development Life Cycle, including architecture exposure, engineering collaboration, and platform integrations.
  • Proven experience leading large-scale, matrixed IT teams ideally hundreds of contributors across multiple programs or capabilities.
  • Demonstrated success partnering with senior business leaders, managing escalations, building trust, and delivering strategic outcomes.
  • Ability to thrive in a consulting-style environment with accountability for delivery performance, financial outcomes, and client satisfaction.
