Our Opportunity:

The Marketing Analytics team is a lean, fast-paced function that evaluates business performance, marketing programs, product promotions, and pricing strategies across the Asia-Pacific region. The team works directly with regional leadership and franchisee executives to develop marketing calendars and sales plans that drive same-store sales growth.

The Manager will lead the analytics agenda for a portfolio of high-priority markets within the brand while managing and developing one to three analysts who own their own markets.
