    Description

    Overview:

    The Marketing Consultant (MC) serves as the trusted advisor to Operators and a strategic member of each Area Support Team (AST*) by providing timely, tailored solutions to address the evolving, unique marketing challenges of each area across Chick-fil-A. The Marketing Consultant is a unique role, tasked with consulting both to markets within each area, as well as consulting to local Operators across each area.

    At the market level, the Marketing Consultant influences and consults Operator groups to align on their market-level strategy, accrual, marketing tactics and marketing investment for the year. At the local level, the Marketing Consultant also identifies where each area has the greatest opportunity to grow in a given year, and partners with the rest of the AST members to provide a series of consulting solutions that help local Operators and Restaurant Marketing Directors leverage marketing to move from their current state toward achieving their growth goals for that year.

    The Marketing Consultant should be able to balance their expertise with accessible language and a posture that invites conversation, collaboration, and a spirit of partnership amongst Operators and Operator groups. The Marketing Consultant is expected to take a leadership role in marketing planning and must serve at times as a strategist, account manager, and liaison all in one.

    This role must be able to:

    • Challenge, while maintaining trust
