Director of Training

Director of Training Build Better Leaders. Make Restaurants Better. At Ted’s Montana Grill, we believe that training is so much more than programs and manuals. We believe that training should make people more successful at their jobs, prepare great Managers for bigger opportunities, and ultimately make our restaurants better. We’re looking for a Director of Training who understands restaurant operations first and knows how to leverage that knowledge into creating training that people will actually use. This is a hands-on role with a lot of ownership and visibility. You won’t inherit a big Learning & Development department, but you’ll own the training function. You’ll work directly with our Operations leaders, HR team and senior leadership to identify what our restaurants need, build practical solutions, and make sure those solutions work in the real world. For someone who has been building toward the next step in their career, this is an opportunity to get closer to the business, have a voice at the table, and make an impact across an entire restaurant company. This position is based in our Restaurant Support Center in downtown Atlanta and is not remote or hybrid.

Sometimes that means creating something new. Sometimes it means simplifying something that has become too complicated. And sometimes it means getting into a restaurant and figuring out why something isn’t working. Be a True Partner to Operations You’ll spend a lot of time working directly with our Operations leaders and senior leadership. We want someone who can listen to what Operations needs, challenge thinking when appropriate, and turn opportunities into practical solutions that restaurants can execute. You should be equally comfortable talking with a new Manager, a Proprietor running a busy restaurant, and a senior executive discussing company-wide results. Help Us Grow Our Next Generation of Leaders Great training isn't just about today's job. You’ll partner with Operations and HR to identify high-potential talent, strengthen development plans and help prepare our best people for what’s next.
