Company Description

Domino’s Pizza, which began in 1960 as a single store location in Ypsilanti, MI, has had a lot to celebrate lately: we’re a reshaped, reenergized brand of honesty, transparency and accountability – not to mention, great food! In the rise to becoming a true technology leader, the brand is now consistently one of the top five companies in online transactions and 65% of our sales in the U.S. are taken through digital channels. The brand continues to ‘deliver the dream’ to local business owners, 90% of which started as delivery drivers and pizza makers in our stores. That’s just the tip of the iceberg…or as we might say, one “slice” of the pie! If this sounds like a brand you’d like to be a part of, consider joining our team!

The Analytics & Insights Team has been instrumental in driving Domino’s industry-leading growth by pairing strategic thought leadership with the latest techniques in the fields of data science, machine learning, artificial intelligence, and primary marketing research. The A&I team leverages their skills to drive outstanding customer and employee experiences to fuel future growth.

In this Consumer Insights Manager role, you will lead a team of two insights professionals fueling our Menu Optimization and Product Development strategy through primary consumer research. You’ll design, execute, and leverage qualitative and quantitative research among consumers and store team members, along with secondary data and transactional order data, to drive recommendations that shape menu Innovation and Renovation and guide the evolution of our In-Store Operations . 

The work led by this team is critical in influencing the work of our R&D, Product Marketing, and Operations Innovation teams as we collectively strive to deliver the most delicious products through operational excellence in the QSR category. From idea to concept to physical product, your research will guide products through the stage gate process and prepare them for launch, shaping everything from ingredient build to naming to pricing through consumer feedback and steering sourcing and supply chain decisions through accurate forecasting and post-launch tracking. You’ll also design and execute research to inform menu optimization, keeping our product line-up relevant while balancing operational efficiencies and evolving in-store processes. Your team will leverage product research along with voice of customer data and store team member + franchisee research to influence operations in-store and product execution guidelines and goals.

As a successful leader in this role, you will demonstrate strong primary marketing research skills – ideally in the area of product development and operations research – and be able to weave findings from multiple data sources into clear insights and actions.
