You've built teams that win. You know what a high-performing Burger King unit looks like — and you can spot one that's drifting before the numbers tell the story. That's exactly who we're looking for.
A growing Burger King franchise group is adding a Director of Operations to lead a portfolio of restaurants across the Knoxville market. This is a hands-on, field-first leadership role — not a desk job. You'll own performance, develop your GMs, and drive results across sales, ops, and people.
What you'll own:
Multi-unit oversight across a defined portfolio of Burger King locations. GM development, coaching, and accountability. Financial performance — EBITDA, labor, COGS, and controllables. New unit openings and market expansion support. Brand standards, guest experience, and operational execution.
What you bring:
5+ years of multi-unit QSR leadership experience — Burger King background is a plus, not a requirement. A track record of developing GMs who stick and grow. Comfort reading a P&L and using it to drive weekly decisions. Strong presence in the field — you're not managing by email. You live and work in the Knoxville area or are prepared to relocate.
The opportunity:
$140,000–$150,000 base + performance bonus. This is a franchise group with real momentum and real growth ahead. You'll have the backing to lead and the runway to make your mark.
