Responsibilities
- Operational Routing & Capacity
- Use the zone framework to make real-time and forward-looking decisions: which stores are activated for which channels, how volume is redirected away from constrained locations, and how different store formats are held to different performance thresholds.
- Serve as the primary off-premise strategy partner to our field operations leadership, aligning on market-level activation decisions, surfacing capacity constraints before they become problems, and translating fleet-wide routing logic into decisions that make sense at the market level.
- 3rd-Party Platform Management
- Own the operational side of the relationships with DoorDash, Uber Eats, EzCater, and others, including contract execution support, co-marketing investment input, operational SLAs, and platform uptime.
- Drive algorithm optimization across platforms: prioritize prep time, order accuracy, capacity configuration, on-time performance, and other operational levers in partnership with platform reps and our Technology & Marketing teams.
- Understand how each platform's ranking mechanics translate to real order volume for Sweetgreen and sequence improvement efforts accordingly.
- Ensure campaigns and promotional mechanics are matched to real store capacity before they go live. When they're not, you're the person who says so and owns the fix.
- Native Delivery, Outpost & Catering
- Serve as the operational owner of the native delivery, outpost and catering channels, representing the needs of restaurant operators in how these channels are designed, configured, and scaled.
- Own delivery fulfillment end-to-end: partner selection, SLA management, order accuracy, on-time performance, and cost per delivery.
- Reporting & Technology
- Partner with our Data and Platform teams to evolve existing reporting infrastructure, identifying gaps, noisy signals, and where cleaner measurement would change how decisions get made.
- Act as the product manager for off-premise operational tooling: write business requirements for engineering teams and vendors, prioritize based on operational impact, and own the feedback loop between field needs and technical delivery.
Requirements
- 7+ years of experience in operations, strategy, channel management, or a related field
- Strong analytical foundation with a modern toolkit: you know how to build from first principles, and you're comfortable using AI to work faster and more effectively
- Strong project management skills with the ability to drive cross-functional initiatives across Marketing, Technology, Finance, and Field Operations
- Clear, confident communicator who can translate operational constraints into commercial framing and advocate effectively without direct org chart authority
- Experience in a high-growth consumer, tech, or startup environment wh
Additional Information
We're looking for a strategic and operationally-minded Senior Manager, Off-Premise & Digital Operations to serve as a key owner for Sweetgreen's off-premise channel performance. This role spans our full off-premise portfolio (marketplace, catering, outpost, and native delivery) and sits inside our Operations Services function, the team that bridges restaurant operations and technology. The ideal candidate is equally comfortable reading a channel P&L and building the capacity routing framework that determines which stores can absorb more off-premise volume and which ones can't. This role is a seat at the table where operational constraints and commercial decisions intersect, and we need someone who can hold that intersection with data, clarity, and credibility. You'll serve as the senior strategic layer above our existing delivery operations and logistics functions, and as the primary cross-functional connector to Marketing, Technology, Finance, and Restaurant Operations. This is a high-visibility role with real decision-making authority across some of the fastest-moving parts of our business. This role is based in our Los Angeles Support Center.
