Description

Company Description Guzman y Gomez (GYG) is on a mission to reinvent fast food with real ingredients, real flavour, and real storytelling. From humble beginnings in Sydney to 200+ restaurants across Australia, the US, Singapore and Japan, we’re growing fast - and operational excellence has never mattered more. As we continue to scale globally, we’re investing in the systems, tools, and processes that make our restaurants run beautifully. That’s where the Centre of Excellence comes in. Job Description The Centre of Excellence is the engine room behind GYG’s best in class restaurant execution. It’s where operations, training, digital tools, and continuous improvement come together to make life simpler for our restaurants and crew. We’re looking for an Operational Excellence Coordinator (OEC) to join our team and play a key role in lifting the quality, speed, and consistency of national operational rollouts. This role is perfect for someone who loves structure, thrives in fast-paced environments, and sees opportunities for improvement everywhere. You’ll manage core operational systems, coordinate projects and pilots, refine documentation, and help ensure that restaurants always have the right tools, in the right format, at the right time. From prepping trial materials, to updating the Food Guide, to analysing rollout insights, you’ll be the organised, solutions-focused force helping us drive GYG forward. The Role As the OEC, you will centralise and manage key operational platforms, support the delivery of new initiatives, and help embed a culture of continuous improvement across the business. Reporting into the Ops Excellence Manager, you will work closely with IT, Training, Safety, Marketing, Culinary, and the broader Hola Central departments to ensure systems are accurate, resources are clear, and projects land seamlessly in restaurants.

Key Responsibilities Operational Systems & Platform Ownership Serve as the Product Owner for core Ops platforms (including the Food Guide, WorkVivo document libraries, Avery Dennison and more). Keep content, workflows, configuration, and documentation up to date, accurate, and easy for restaurants to use. Identify system issues, propose improvements, and lead continuous updates. Maintain trust and reliability in the platforms restaurants rely on every day. Project & Pilot Coordination Support end to end trial preparation including logistics, timelines, readiness checklists, training materials, printing and ordering resources. Assist with running training sessions (virtual, in restaurant, or pre-recorded). Consolidate feedback, highlight insights and risks, and help the COE team refine rollout plans. Documentation & Content Management Own the lifecycle of operational materials - creation, editing, formatting, publishing, version control, archiving. Translate complex operational information into clear, simple, restaurant friendly guides. Maintain high-quality formatting and consistency across all materials. Feedback & Communication Monitor operational feedback channels and ensure timely follow-up. Identify themes and escalate issues that need systemic improvement. Keep communication clear, timely, and structured across teams. Vendor & Stakeholder Coordination Manage day-to-day coordination with key suppliers supporting campaigns and rollouts.
