Leadership Development Program: Greenfield

Position: Leadership Development Program: Chick-fil-A Greenfield
Program Overview

The Leadership Development Program at Chick-fil-A Greenfield is designed for highly ambitious leaders who desire to one day become Chick-fil-A Owner/Operators.

Ideal Candidate Profile

We are looking for individuals who are:

* Entrepreneurial and career-driven

Working at a Chick-fil-A restaurant is more than a job - it's an opportunity for teamwork and leadership development in a positive, people-focused environment. Most Chick-fil-A restaurants are locally owned and operated by independent, franchised Operators who invest in the future of their Team Members and give back to their communities.
