Job Description

Chipotle Mexican Grill, Inc. (NYSE: CMG) is a global leader in the fast-casual dining industry, dedicated to cultivating a better world by serving responsibly sourced, classically cooked real food made with wholesome ingredients, free from artificial colors, flavors, or preservatives. Established as a pioneer in redefining the fast-food experience, Chipotle operates restaurants across the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, France, and Germany. Unlike many large restaurant companies, Chipotle owns and operates all of its restaurants in North America and Europe, allowing for consistent quality and an unyielding commitment to its mission.

Chipotle is more than just a restaurant company—it is a people-first enterprise passionate about delivering a great guest experience while pushing the boundaries of innovation, digital technology, and sustainable business practices. The company's purpose stretches beyond providing nutritious meals; it emphasizes hiring world-class talent, fostering a culture rooted in diversity, equity, and inclusion. Chipotle's commitment to making better food accessible to everyone fuels its growth, as the brand continually evolves and leads important conversations shaping the future of food and farming.

The Field Leader role at Chipotle represents a promising opportunity for those seeking to grow alongside a fast-expanding company currently opening a new restaurant every two days. Field Leaders play a critical role, overseeing the operations of multiple restaurant locations and forging strong partnerships with restaurant managers. This leadership position requires individuals who possess comprehensive knowledge of business operations including profit and loss management, food safety, sales forecasting, and staffing. A Field Leader’s influence extends to fostering a food safety-first culture, promoting team development, and ensuring an exceptional guest experience at every restaurant within their purview.

Chipotle offers a competitive compensation package for this role, with base pay estimated between $90,000 and $127,500 annually, alongside quarterly cash bonuses and annual equity awards based on performance. The total rewards encompass comprehensive medical, dental, and vision insurance, a 401k retirement plan, paid time off, holiday closures, and tuition assistance covering up to 100% of select degrees or up to $5,250 per year. Field Leaders benefit from ongoing career growth opportunities, people-development bonuses, and support tools such as a company car or mileage reimbursement.

This position requires a friendly, enthusiastic attitude and the ability to communicate fluently in the primary language(s) of the work location. Candidates must be team-oriented and capable of hands-on involvement while leading others effectively. Multi-unit restaurant experience is essential, as is the passion for developing people and maintaining high operational standards. Chipotle is committed to reasonable accommodations for qualified applicants with disabilities under the Americans with Disabilities Act, ensuring an inclusive hiring process. Joining Chipotle as a Field Leader means becoming an integral part of a vibrant team dedicated to cultivating a better world through responsible leadership and exceptional service.
