About the opportunity

We are looking for a senior Expansion & New Store Development leader to work with a fast-growing food chain that is entering its next phase of rapid expansion.

This is a fractional leadership mandate for someone who has personally built and scaled the engine behind rapid multi-location expansion.

The mandate is not simply to manage individual store projects. It is to bring structure, speed and predictability to the entire current-store creation process.

What you will be responsible for
Build a scalable new-store development and expansion playbook
Drive the process from site identification and feasibility through to store opening and handover
Establish clear timelines, milestones, ownership and governance for multiple concurrent openings
Work closely with leadership on location feasibility, store formats, capex and unit economics
Manage architects, contractors, vendors and other external partners
Identify and resolve bottlenecks that slow down store openings




Create a repeatable operating rhythm that can support rapid expansion across multiple cities
Ensure current stores are opening-ready across projects, operations, people, technology and supply chain
Track project timelines and costs and provide leadership with clear visibility on progress and risks
Build internal capability so that the organisation can eventually manage the expansion engine independently

The ideal profile

We are looking for someone who has actually led rapid current-store rollouts, rather than someone whose experience is primarily in running an existing restaurant network.

You should ideally have:
15+ years of experience in QSR, F&B;, retail or another multi-location consumer business
Experience leading rapid store / outlet expansion
Personally taken multiple locations from site selection / feasibility to opening
Experience managing several stores simultaneously across cities
Robust understanding of capex, project management, contractors, vendors and t
