Restaurant Manager

Role Overview

Chick-fil-A North Valley is hiring managers for two distinct teams: Kitchen and Hospitality . Every manager is held to the same character standard, though experience and skill requirements vary by team. This is a full-time, on-site role (35–42 hours/week) located at either our Deer Valley location (3001 W. Agua Fria Fwy.) or Norterra location (2575 W. Jomax Rd.).

Why This Role Exists

The strength of an organization rests on the strength of its leaders. As we grow, we aim to build our leadership bench from both inside and outside our organization. This role exists to hire, develop, and deploy high-caliber leaders who lead teams, run business areas, and create exceptional guest experiences.

The Character Standard

Character is non-negotiable for every manager. We hire for character first, then match competency to the team. You are a strong fit for either track if you:

• Own it: Take initiative without being asked and own problems until solved.
