About the Role:

The Senior Director, Third-Party Delivery & Off-Premises Growth will be responsible for leading the strategy, growth and operational performance of Subway's third-party delivery (3PD) business across North America while influencing key regions globally.

The primary focus of this role is third-party delivery; strengthening and growing our partnerships with major delivery marketplaces, improving execution across our restaurant system, identifying profitable growth opportunities and helping franchisees maximize the value of the channel.

This leader will bring meaningful, hands-on experience building, operating, optimizing or materially influencing a scaled 3PD business. They will understand how to translate platform strategy into restaurant-level execution while balancing sales growth, franchisee economics, guest experience and long-term profitability.

The ideal candidate combines strong operational instincts with commercial and analytical acumen. They are equally comfortable working with franchisees, senior internal stakeholders and major third-party delivery partners and can move fluidly between strategy and hands-on execution.

While this leader will partner closely with Subway's Digital, Marketing, Technology and other teams, this role is not primarily focused on first-party app/web, loyalty, catering or digital marketing. Its center of gravity is growing and optimizing the third-party delivery business.

Responsibilities include but not limited to:

• Lead the strategy, growth and operational performance of Subway's North America third-party delivery business, developing annual and multi-year plans to achieve sales and profitability objectives.

• Partner closely with franchisees and Operations teams to drive adoption, improve execution, resolve operational challenges and strengthen overall channel performance
• Lead efforts to improve restaurant onboarding, platform execution, operating processes and technology integrations supporting third-party delivery.
• Partner with Analytics and Finance to develop KPIs, reporting cadences and performance insights that identify opportunities for sales growth, operational improvement and increased profitability.
• Evaluate promotions, offers and other growth investments through a disciplined ROI lens, ensuring strategies drive sustainable incremental demand rather than relying solely on discounting or short-term volume.
• Work cross-functionally with Operations, Technology, Marketing, Digital, Finance, Legal and other teams to ensure 3PD initiatives can be successfully executed and scaled across the Subway system.
• Identify and evaluate new opportunities within the third-party delivery and marketplace ecosystem that can expand Subway's reach, improve economics or unlock incremental demand.
• Bring external perspective on emerging 3PD capabilities, marketplace trends and operating models while determining how those opportunities can successfully translate to Subway's franchise system.
• Influence and guide key global regions by sharing 3PD best practices, learnings and scalable growth opportunities.
• Lead and develop the Off-Premises team while fostering a culture of accountability, curiosity, collaboration and continuous improvement.

Qualifications:

• Bachelor's degree or equivalent professional experience.
• Meaningful direct experience in third-party delivery is required, including approximately 2+ years of hands-on experience building, operating, optimizing or materially influencing a scaled 3PD business.
• Experience within a major restaurant/QSR organization, third-party delivery platform, or another scaled delivery marketplace strongly preferred.
