About The Position

DashMart Kitchens is looking for a people-focused trainer who excels in a fast-paced, remote environment and is excited to roll up their sleeves and lead from the front. In this role, you’ll be helping us launch our DashMart Kitchens concepts, focusing on training local operators. You'll administer training and ongoing quality assurance for multiple culinary concepts – with the support of our Culinary, Kitchen Operations, and Project Management teams. You will report to the Manager of Training & Site Support.

Requirements

• You're self-motivated, positive, and a team player. You work well with others, but also excel in roles with little oversight – relying on your own drive and self-discipline.
• You're scrappy. You are willing to do whatever it takes to get the job done whether it's digging into a new process to determine how best to communicate or helping troubleshoot a technical issue.
• You have 3+ years of experience cooking and managing in a high-volume kitchen environment including fast-casual, QSR, and from-scratch restaurants.
• You have 2+ years of experience in a field training or training development role, ideally with a multi-unit restaurant.

• You are a data-driven decision maker who is comfortable compiling your findings in documentation that can be shared with the broader team.
• You are willing to travel and be on-site in dynamic restaurant environments. This role will begin as an in-market trainer operating locally with travel required occasionally, and it may evolve into a role that requires up to 80% travel as we scale operations and expand our training needs throughout the year.
