What does your role bring to the table?
At Snooze, we are building something different. Great restaurants are not built in conference rooms, they are built through consistent execution in our restaurants. This role exists to close the gap between idea and execution.
The Senior Manager of Enterprise Projects plays a critical role in turning leadership decisions into real-world results. Reporting directly to the Chief Financial Officer, this role leads cross-functional initiatives from concept through pilot and system-wide rollout, ensuring that what we commit to as a business shows up cleanly, consistently, and effectively in our restaurants. This is not a traditional project management role; it is about driving clarity, momentum, and accountability across teams.
Partnering closely with Operations, Culinary, Marketing, Supply Chain, Training, and senior leaders across the business, this role helps move work forward with speed and discipline while pressure-testing ideas against real restaurant conditions. As Snooze continues to grow, the ability to execute consistently across restaurants becomes increasingly critical. The Senior Manager of Enterprise Projects ensures we scale without losing what makes us great.
