We're partnering exclusively with one of the UK's fastest-growing QSR brands to find a Brand Training Lead who can build their people function from the ground up.
This business is scaling fast. 6 sites today, 15 new openings in the next six months, and an international franchise programme already in motion. They need someone who can design, deliver, and scale a training system that keeps pace with that growth without compromising standards.
This isn't a manager who oversees from a distance. This is a hands-on builder who'll be on-site for opening weeks, in stores coaching managers, and at their desk designing the systems that make great training repeatable.
What the role involves
Owning and delivering the full New Store Opening training programme across every new site personally
Building crew, Shift Leader, ASM, and GM development pathways from scratch with clear milestones and progression criteria
Creating and running a Certified In-Store Trainer programme to accredit high-potential crew for BAU onboarding at site level
Blending digital learning delivery with practical in-store facilitation
The person we are looking for
3+ years in an L&D, brand trainer, or training manager role within QSR, fast casual, or multi-site hospitality
Proven NSO delivery experience, you have been on the ground for new site openings and know what it takes
Able to design training content from scratch including workbooks, digital modules, assessments, and facilitation guides
Exceptional in-room presence, you can hold a crew of 20 at 7am on opening day and make them want to be there
Commercially minded and self-directed, you understand training exists to drive operational performance and you manage your own workload without hand-holding
Bonus points for franchise training experience, a Level 3 AET qualification, or exposure to apprenticeship levy programmes. xwzovoh
What is on offer
£50,000 – £62,000 depending on experience
Performance bonus tied to training KPIs and opening targets
25 days holiday plus bank holidays
Mileage reimbursement
A clear progression path from Brand Training Lead to Head of Training to Director of L&D as the business scales
This role suits someone who wants to build something from scratch inside a brand that is genuinely going places. If you have delivered NSO programmes, built training infrastructure, or helped a scaling QSR brand grow without losing its standards, I would love to hear from you.
