Brand Manager

What we need
Hey you! Torchy’s Tacos is looking for a Brand Manager to elevate our damn good brand across every channel, every touchpoint, and every taco-loving heart out there. This isn’t your average brand gig. We’re talking big, bold ideas that make Torchy’s stand out in a crowded, flavorless world. You’ll lead game-changing initiatives, connect with key partners, and bring creative strategies to life—all while keeping our mission and values hotter than Diablo Sauce. You’ll also be a rockstar leader, mentoring a high-performing team that’s as passionate about tacos as you are.

What you'll do
• Build Bold Brand Strategies: You’ll develop long-term and short-term strategies that position Torchy’s as a market leader while staying true to our one-of-a-kind identity.
These strategies will include campaign development, brand positioning, and crosschannel alignment to ensure Torchy’s shines in every space—from local markets to
national audiences.
• Own In-Store Marketing: From posters to table tents to digital menu boards, you’ll drive all guest-facing marketing efforts within our restaurants. You’ll manage seasonal
promotions, LTO campaigns, and other initiatives that engage guests, support business goals, and bring the damn good vibe to life.
• Lead Integrated Campaigns: You’ll own the planning and execution of multi-channel campaigns—including in-store, digital, social, and experiential marketing—that create buzz, drive engagement, and fuel sales. Collaboration with creative, field, and digital marketing teams will be key.
• Inspire and Develop Your Team: As a leader, you’ll coach and mentor team members, fostering a culture of creativity, accountability, and growth. You’ll set clear goals,
provide guidance, and create opportunities for your team to thrive.
• Manage Vendors Like a Pro: You’ll build and oversee relationships with printers, creative agencies, and installation partners to ensure projects are delivered on time,
within budget, and at the level of quality that Torchy’s fans expect.
• Optimize Brand Performance: You’ll analyze the impact of brand and marketing initiatives using key performance metrics. By digging into data and insights, you’ll
continuously optimize strategies to improve engagement, guest satisfaction, and business
outcomes.
• Spot Trends and Innovate: You’ll stay ahead of industry trends, competitor activity, and cultural moments, bringing fresh and relevant ideas to keep Torchy’s on the cutting edge of brand marketing.
• Resource Management: You’ll manage budgets, timelines, and other resources efficiently, ensuring that every dollar spent aligns with Torchy’s goals and delivers
maximum impact.
• Cross-Functional Collaboration: You’ll work seamlessly with internal teams—creative, digital, operations, and leadership—to align brand strategies with business goals and ensure flawless execution across all touchpoints.
• Additional Duties: You’ll jump in where needed, supporting other initiatives and projects that make Torchy’s even more damn good.

How you'll do it
• Think Big: You’ll look beyond the day-to-day and focus on strategies that set us up for long-term success (and a lot of tacos).
• Lead with Passion: Your leadership will inspire creativity, accountability, and results. You’ll create a culture where everyone thrives.
• Be Collaborative: You’ll connect and align with cross-functional teams to ensure every initiative—big or small—delivers results.
• Data + Creativity: You’ll use data to measure success and inform decisions while keeping creative thinking at the forefront of every campaign.
• Stay Nimble: Fast-paced environments are your jam. You’ll pivot when needed and adjust strategies to meet guest needs and market changes.
