Workforce Planning Manager

**WHO WE ARE** We’re not in the wing business. We’re in the flavor business. It’s been our mission to Serve the World Flavor since we first opened in 1994, and we’re just getting started. 1997 saw the opening of our first brand partner operated Wingstop location, and by 2002 we had served the world one billion wings. It’s flavor that defines us and has made Wingstop one of the fastest growing brands in the restaurant industry. Above all else – our success is largely due to our people and our core values, or what we call The Wingstop Way of being entrepreneurial, service-minded, fun, and authentic. We believe having a strong people foundation centered on these collective values creates a crave-worthy culture and talented team, as well as ensures our brand is poised for accelerated growth. We all win together. **WHAT WE’LL NEED** The Workforce Planning Manager will build and manage Wingstop's workforce planning and contingent labor function. This role will own the contractor and temporary workforce ecosystem, including Beeline administration, contractor lifecycle management, vendor relationships, staffing programs, and workforce reporting. This is a hands-on build role for someone who can manage the day-to-day work while creating the processes, reporting, and standards the function needs to scale. The person in this role will develop internal processes for contractor management, spend tracking, reporting, and headcount planning, then work with Beeline to implement those processes into the system and help configure the platform to match how Wingstop needs to operate. Beeline is the tool: the job is building the function and using Beeline to run it.
