We're looking for a strategic and operationally-minded Senior Manager, Off-Premise & Digital Operations to serve as a key owner for Sweetgreen's off-premise channel performance. This role spans our full off-premise portfolio (marketplace, catering, outpost, and native delivery) and sits inside our Operations Services function, the team that bridges restaurant operations and technology.

The ideal candidate is equally comfortable reading a channel P&L and building the capacity routing framework that determines which stores can absorb more off-premise volume and which ones can't. This role is a seat at the table where operational constraints and commercial decisions intersect, and we need someone who can hold that intersection with data, clarity, and credibility.

You'll serve as the senior strategic layer above our existing delivery operations and logistics functions, and as the primary cross-functional connector to Marketing, Technology, Finance, and Restaurant Operations. This is a high-visibility role with real decision-making authority across some of the fastest-moving parts of our business. This role is based in our Los Angeles Support Center.

Key Responsibilities:

Operational Routing & Capacity

• Build and own the store-level routing model for all off-premise volume, including the fleet-wide capacity zone framework (green / yellow / red) that drives store activation decisions, digital configurations like order capacity settings, and commercial decisions like promotional eligibility and co-marketing investment.
• Use the zone framework to make real-time and forward-looking decisions: which stores are activated for which channels, how volume is redirected away from constrained locations, and how different store formats are held to different performance thresholds.
• Serve as the primary off-premise strategy partner to our field operations leadership, aligning on market-level activation decisions, surfacing capacity constraints before they become problems, and translating fleet-wide routing logic into decisions that make sense at the market level.

3rd-Party Platform Management

• Own the operational side of the relationships with DoorDash, Uber Eats, EzCater, and others, including contract execution support, co-marketing investment input, operational SLAs, and platform uptime.
• Drive algorithm optimization across platforms: prioritize prep time, order accuracy, capacity configuration, on-time performance, and other operational levers in partnership with platform reps and our Technology & Marketing teams.
• Understand how each platform's ranking mechanics translate to real order volume for Sweetgreen and sequence improvement efforts accordingly.
• Ensure campaigns and promotional mechanics are matched to real store capacity before they go live. When they're not, you're the person who says so and owns the fix.

Native Delivery, Outpost & Catering

• Serve as the operational owner of the native delivery, outpost and catering channels, representing the needs of restaurant operators in how these channels are designed, configured, and scaled.
• Own delivery fulfillment end-to-end: partner selection, SLA management, order accuracy, on-time performance, and cost per delivery.
• Lead the technology roadmap for these channels, including evaluating and selecting platforms (order management systems, routing tools, tracking capabilities, fulfillment integrations) that improve fleet-wide operational performance. You're the person who defines what operators need from these tools and drives the business case for investment.

Reporting & Technology

• Own the off-premise performance reporting layer for field and executive audiences, covering channel-level P&L, on-time metrics, capacity utilization, and fulfillment performance. You define what the business can see and act on across all off-premise channels, and you're accountable for the accuracy and usefulness of that information.
• Partner with our Data and Platform teams to evolve existing reporting infrastructure, identifying gaps, noisy signals, and where cleaner measurement would change how decisions get made.
• Act as the product manager for off-premise operational tooling: write business requirements for engineering teams and vendors, prioritize based on operational impact, and own the feedback loop between field needs and technical delivery.

Qualifications

• 7+ years of experience in operations, strategy, channel management, or a related field
• Strong analytical foundation with a modern toolkit: you know how to build from first principles, and you're comfortable using AI to work faster and more effectively
• Strong project management skills with the ability to drive cross-functional initiatives across Marketing, Technology, Finance, and Field Operations
• Clear, confident communicator who can translate operational constraints into commercial framing and advocate effectively without direct org chart authority
• Experience in a high-growth consumer, tech, or startup environment where you owned a performance metric end-to-end is strongly preferred
• Familiarity with how marketplace or platform businesses work, including ranking mechanics, algorithm-driven demand, and the operational levers that affect visibility and conversion, is strongly preferred
• Direct experience with DoorDash, Uber Eats, EzCater, or similar platforms from the brand or operator side is a major plus, but not a requirement

What You'll Bring

• The ability to read store-level performance data (on-time rates, peak volume intervals, capacity configuration, format type) and translate it into routing decisions that hold up under scrutiny
• Digital channel P&L fluency: understanding net economics after marketplace fees, discounts, co-funding, and fulfillment costs across multiple channel types
• The cross-functional influence to push back on a campaign timeline or make the case for a system change without the org chart leverage to force either
• A mechanical understanding of how platform ranking algorithms work and which operational inputs move the needle on visibility and order rate
• Enough technical fluency to translate operational problems into system requirements, pressure-test proposed solutions, and engage engineering and product partners as a real counterpart
• Structured decision-making under ambiguity: knowing when to move with imperfect information and when to wait, and communicating that reasoning in a way that builds trust
• Intellectual curiosity and the ability to build frameworks in new problem spaces, especially where the playbook doesn't exist yet

As a District Manager at Mejuri for the Southwest region  you are the Business Owner of your market. You are not a store visitor; you are a systemic operator who owns the performance, talent capability, and brand integrity of a fleet. You sit at the intersection of commercial rigor and operational excellence.

You don't just solve problems; you diagnose them at the root to ensure the “Fine Standard” holds whether you are in the room or not. You are a coach of coaches, a P&L expert, and a proactive partner to HQ—leveraging every brand lever from marketing to merchandising to ensure your district doesn’t just meet the bar, but sets it.

Your home office is Los Angeles and your district will span across the Southwest region and Australia. 

What You’ll Do

Fleet Ownership & Systemic Performance

• Solve at the Root: Move beyond firefighting. You diagnose gaps across the fleet and implement systemic solutions that hold the standard after you walk out the door.
• Close the Gap: Narrow the performance variance between your best and worst-performing stores. You refuse to let "every store is different" be an excuse for inconsistent results.
• Hold the Fine Standard: Maintain a non-negotiable policy for brand standards, STACK execution, and store environment across all doors. You have the "editorial eye" to walk a store and diagnose what is off within 30 seconds through a customer lens.

Commercial & Cross-Functional Command

• Own the P&L: Run your district like a CEO runs a business. You know your NMV, traffic, CVR, and payroll cold. You read the numbers before they are handed to you and make the call before being asked.
• Diagnose Before Escalating: You don't just report problems; you bring hypotheses. When traffic is down, you provide the data, the "why," and the specific cross-functional ask.
• Pull the Levers: Treat every HQ function—Marketing, Merchandising, People Ops—as a tool in your kit. You proactively initiate local activations, adjust assortments, and mitigate staffing risks before they become crises.

Coaching & Pipeline Architecture

• Coach the Coach: Your focus is on the Store Manager. You don't jump past them to coach stylists; instead, you build the SM’s capability to lead, coach, and drive performance independently.
• Build the Bench: You are never reactive to vacancies. You can name your next Store Manager by name right now, having developed a 3, 6, and 12-month pipeline of talent ready to step up.
• Cultivate Business Owners: You empower your SMs to own their individual P&Ls, fostering a culture of high ownership where every leader acts with an entrepreneurial mindset.

OMNI-Channel & Community Mastery

• Remove Barriers to Purchase: Champion a seamless digital-physical experience. You coach teams to leverage clienteling and waitlist tools to bridge inventory gaps and build long-term loyalty.
• Community Engagement: Identify and execute localized marketing and eventing opportunities that drive brand awareness and new customer acquisition within your specific markets.

• 5+ years of multi-unit leadership where you can prove you closed store-to-store performance gaps and turned around underperformers.
• Commercial Command: A deep understanding of P&L management with a track record of driving top-line growth while maintaining operational discipline. You translate data into actionable strategies without being prompted.
• Architect of Talent: A strong history of promoting Store Managers and building internal pipelines. You measure your success by the growth and independence of your leaders.
• Strategic Problem-Solving: You are an agile operator who thrives in the "grey area." You have the ability to diagnose complex business challenges—from inventory imbalances to shifting consumer trends—and implement effective solutions.
• OMNI-Channel Fluency: You understand the modern customer journey and have experience leveraging digital tools and clienteling strategies to drive conversion beyond the four walls of the store.
• Entrepreneurial Agility: You are hungry, proactive, and move before being asked. You are energized by ambiguity and enjoy building operating rhythms in real-time.
• Exceptional Communication: You are a compelling storyteller who can synthesize field insights for executive-level partners and inspire store teams with a clear, unified vision.

• A minimum of four weeks vacation, plus personal days and three religious/cultural observance days.
• Comprehensive medical and dental benefits, including mental health coverage, and generous personal and sick days for our full-time employees. We also offer bereavement leave, including miscarriage and stillbirth support.
• Parental leave salary top-up of up to 80%, as well as a personalized return-to-work transition and accommodation plan for full-time employees.
