Inspire Brands Jobs

This position will play a critical role in driving the 12-18 months roadmap for our guest-facing digital solutions on the premises of the restaurant including Drive-thru, Curbside, and Dine-in experiences.

Key responsibilities include intaking and prioritizing consumer and business opportunities, defining core business requirements, and collaborating on the delivery of technology solutions from engineering and technology partners or vendors.

The PA works closely with a Product Manager or Senior Product Manager to deliver new features and improve existing ones.
