Director in Training (future W. Springfield location)

Working at a Chick-fil-A® restaurant is more than a job – it's an opportunity for teamwork and leadership development in a positive, people-focused environment. Chick-fil-A restaurants are locally owned and operated by independent, franchised Operators who invest in the future of their Team Members and give back to their communities.

Are you passionate about providing excellent service and creating unforgettable experiences for others? Do you enjoy going the extra mile to ensure that every guest feels special?

As a Director in Training, you will build leadership skills while consistently demonstrating our core values, embracing the Chick-fil-A culture, and having a servant's heart. In this role, you will be responsible for inspiring and guiding our Team Members to do the same.

You must have a passion for people and for serving others, a strong character, initiative, and a sense of urgency at all times. Directors are responsible for supporting and executing daily operations and keeping team members accountable for each component of Operational Excellence and our Recipe for Service. Directors lead by example and set the tone that others will follow.
