Job Description

Chipotle Mexican Grill, Inc. (NYSE: CMG) is a leading fast-casual restaurant chain dedicated to serving responsibly sourced, classically cooked, real food made with wholesome ingredients without artificial colors, flavors, or preservatives. Operating restaurants across the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, France, and Germany, Chipotle is unique among restaurant companies of its size in that it owns and operates all its restaurants across North America and Europe. The company has established itself as a pioneer in the food industry, championing sustainable business practices, innovative digital and technological initiatives, and a strong commitment to making better food accessible to everyone. Chipotle’s mission to "Cultivate a Better World" reflects its dedication to changing the traditional fast-food experience by elevating standards around food quality and corporate responsibility.

At Chipotle, the focus is on creating an exceptional guest experience through a food safety-first culture and empowering team members to grow with the company. The organization is expanding rapidly, opening a new restaurant every two days, which drives the urgent need for excellent leadership to oversee multiple locations and ensure operational excellence. This opportunity is specifically geared towards experienced Field Leaders who can build successful partnerships with restaurant managers, contribute to thriving operations, and embody the company's values and vision. As a Field Leader with Chipotle, you will play a pivotal role in steering restaurant teams to success, championing food safety standards, and cultivating a positive, engaging environment for employees and guests alike.

This position is critical to Chipotle’s continued growth and success, offering both leadership challenges and opportunities for personal and professional advancement. Field Leaders at Chipotle are encouraged to lead through others by mentoring, training, and validating staff on key operational elements, while maintaining a laser-like focus on driving the guest experience. Candidates with previous multi-unit restaurant experience will find this the perfect role to leverage their business knowledge in profit and loss management, sales forecasting, staffing, and food safety compliance. The successful Field Leader will also demonstrate a passion for team development and the ability to foster a collaborative, supportive workplace culture.

Chipotle's commitment to its employees goes beyond traditional roles, with a comprehensive benefits package designed to promote work-life balance and financial wellness. Benefits include medical, dental, and vision insurance, a 401(k) plan, quarterly bonuses, tuition assistance covering up to 100% of select degrees or up to $5,250 per year, paid time off, holiday closures, and company cars or mileage reimbursement for eligible roles. Chipotle values diversity and inclusion, ensuring equitable hiring practices and providing accommodations to qualified applicants with disabilities. This inclusive culture ensures that all team members are respected, supported, and empowered to contribute fully to the company's mission while enjoying a rewarding career in a dynamic and fast-growing environment.
