Head of Communications - Remote

Our Passion is Food!

Communications Manager - Bay Area (on‑site Bay Area required)

We are a restaurant company that operates in contract food service. Our guiding philosophy is a commitment to culinary expertise and socially responsible practices. We create food that is alive with flavor and nutrition, prepared from scratch with authentic ingredients, and we pursue sustainability through waste reduction, responsible sourcing, and food‑service practices that support our food system.

Great food deserves great storytelling - and so does the team behind it. As our Internal Communications Manager, you will be the voice that keeps Bon Appétit employees informed, inspired, and proud. You’ll craft messages that connect our teams to our mission, partner with leaders across the organization, and help turn everyday work into a shared story worth telling. The role requires on‑site presence at our Bay Area corporate office.

Shape Our Internal Voice: Partner with our Director to build quarterly communication plans, channel strategy, and editorial calendars; measure what’s working through analytics and pulse surveys; craft authentic emails, newsletters, decks, webcasts, and intranet content that people actually want to read; support C‑suite and rapid‑response communications when needed.

Serve as the go‑to point person for parent company communications, press materials, and annual events and awards.

Own Our Digital Presence: Keep our intranet fresh, useful, and on‑brand; partner with our Digital Asset Manager to keep great photography flowing to the right channels.

Tell Our Story: Contribute to internal and external storytelling through our blog, magazines, and beyond.
