We are seeking a District Manager to oversee Burger King restaurants in the Columbus, OH market. You will be joining one of the largest and fastest-growing multi-brand franchisees in the country. Managing over 200 Burger King locations across 17 states, our group was recently honored as the 2025 Burger King Franchisee of the Year . Backed by a massive 475+ unit infrastructure, you will have the resources, training, and administrative support to truly lead your market toward success. Why Join Us? Award-Winning Culture: Work for the proud recipient of the 2025 Burger King Franchisee of the Year award. Unrivaled Stability: Our operational leadership team features Directors of Operations boasting an incredible 30+ year tenure. Massive Infrastructure: With 475+ locations under our parent organization, you get access to world-class training, finance, HR, and development systems that single-brand operators simply cannot match.

People First: Gain access to our dedicated employee hardship grant fund, providing a tangible signal of our supportive team culture. What You’ll Do As a District Manager, you won’t be managing from a laptop at home. You will be a visible, active leader in your restaurants. Own the P&L: Take full accountability for driving sales, managing controllables (food & labor), and maximizing store-level EBITDA across your restaurant span. Be On-Shift & Present: Spend the bulk of your week inside the restaurants, building personal, direct relationships with your General Managers (RGMs) and Assistant General Managers (AGMs). Coach, Don't Just Manage: Focus on people-first coaching to elevate your restaurant managers into stronger, more independent business operators.

Proven Track Record: A documented history of developing, mentoring, and promoting internal restaurant talent. Job Stability: A history of stable job tenure; we value leaders who look to build long, rewarding careers.
