Restaurant Brands International Inc. is one of the world's largest quick service restaurant companies with nearly $45 billion in annual system-wide sales and over 32,000 restaurants in more than 120 countries and territories.
RBI owns four of the world's most prominent and iconic quick service restaurant brands - TIM HORTONS®, BURGER KING®, POPEYES®, and FIREHOUSE SUBS®. These independently operated brands have been serving their respective guests, franchisees and communities for decades. Through its Restaurant Brands for Good framework, RBI is improving sustainable outcomes related to its food, the planet, and people and communities.
RBI is committed to growing the TIM HORTONS®, BURGER KING®, POPEYES® and FIREHOUSE SUBS® brands by leveraging their respective core values, employee and franchisee relationships, and long track records of community support. Each brand benefits from the global scale and shared best practices that come from ownership by Restaurant Brands International Inc.
Role Purpose
Firehouse Subs runs on consistency. Across our ~1,450 restaurants, guests expect the same product experience every visit, and that promise rests on a supply chain that performs reliably and without disruption. The Senior Analyst, Supply Chain owns the analytics and execution layer that makes that performance possible.
The role sits at the intersection of three connected workstreams - Limited Time Offers (LTOs), New Product Introductions (NPI), and Inbound Freight Analytics across supplier-to-DC lanes - and serves as the operational bridge between R&D, Marketing, Operations, Procurement, and our distributor partners at DMA, PFG, SYGMA, GFS, and NDA. The mandate is direct: the right product, in the right quantity, at the right DC, on time, with minimal obsolescence and zero guest-facing outages.
