Sr. Financial Data Analyst

Sr. Financial Data Analyst

CAVA can trace its roots back to a single restaurant in Bethesda, Maryland. Today it includes nearly 90 fast-casual Mediterranean restaurants and a line of chef-crafted dips and spreads sold in Whole Foods Markets nationwide. In 2018, CAVA joined with Zoës Kitchen – and together, we’re sharing a passion for bold, craveable meals and exceptional guest experiences with eaters across the country.

From our restaurants to our support center, CAVA team members foster a culture built on five pillars:

• Positivity – We believe in the power of positivity. Every one of us can change someone’s day for the better.
• Transparency – We believe in open and respectful communication. We use transparency to help us make decisions and inform how we talk to each other.
• Humility – We can always find ways to improve. The more we learn, the more we see how much we don’t know and how much we need others to help us learn to grow.
• Fanaticism – We are passionate about our mission and the opportunity to turn every guest into a fanatic. We bring that energy to everything we do.
• Thoughtfulness – To us, every detail matters. We go above and beyond for our guests, our teams, and our communities.
