• Manage multiple learning projects from brief through to launch, balancing business impact, pace, priorities and quality.
• Partner with the Ops Excellence team to ensure learning reflects the highest operational standards and best practice.

• Our learning is current, accurate, engaging and recognised as best in class.
• Restaurant and support teams have practical learning that helps them build capability and perform better on the job.
• Our LMS is well structured, easy to use and increasingly adopted as the natural place to learn.
• Data, feedback, AI and emerging technology are being used to continuously improve the quality, effectiveness and scalability of learning.
• Our external brand and tone of voice are brought to life across our learning content and pathways, creating a distinctive, engaging and recognisably Wingstop learning experience.
• Wingstop Uni is the natural home of learning at Wingstop UK&I, providing a simple, engaging and best-in-class learning experience that our teams actively use to build their capability and careers.
