About this role
Sanrio is hiring a future manager for its character-food business. The role plans and executes expansion while building a consistent operating foundation for food and restaurant offerings.
Responsibilities include short-, medium- and long-term business plans, sales and profit management, understanding current operations and creating manuals, franchise and outsourced-operation agreements, sales planning, product development and market research. Initial hands-on sales and operations inform the expansion strategy.
Applicants need new-brand or business-format development experience, a record of planning and executing expansion across tens of stores, and presentation and implementation ability. Food-business, nationwide restaurant rollout, construction and equipment knowledge are preferred. There is no educational requirement. The role is a candidate pathway toward responsibility for marketing and merchandising, rather than guaranteed immediate department leadership.
