Welcome to KFC.

Take one man with a big idea, add 11 herbs and spices, grit, ambition, and buckets of heart – you’ve got KFC.

Since 1939, we’ve been bringing finger lickin’ good chicken to the world, and today we’re proud to be in over 1000 communities across the UK & Ireland. But without our people, none of it would be possible. Just like our recipe, they’re all original.

Join us. Bring it. And together, we can be part of something truly extraordinary.

Bringing it to the role.

• Building franchise relationships – daily contact with our franchisees through partnerships and their building consultants to track remodel status through to completion
• Visit completed remodels to assess completed projects compliance and help develop catalogue of store condition
• Develop the equity remodel programme each year, coordinating with key cross functional stakeholders
• Manage the construction programme tracker, working closely with the six construction managers to track progress, and communicate any changes to impacted cross-functional teams (e.g. the Ops team)
• Management of our supply chain to ensure all products and services are available – communicating to multiple functions
• Responsible for model changes
• Provide monthly reports on project statuses for internal business communications
