DODO BRANDS (Dodo Pizza, Drinkit)** Moscow Experience: 3 to 6 years

For 15 years, we at Dodo Brands have been creating and developing tech-driven franchise-based fast-food brands. You definitely know Dodo Pizza, and we also develop Drinkit coffee shops.

And we are always looking for passionate individuals – enthusiastic professionals who care about what they do. Those who act boldly, support the team, and are open to new ideas to create cool solutions together and enhance the customer experience.

We are looking for a manager who will be responsible for the direction of format and concept development for our locations, ensuring they contribute to sales growth while maintaining brand integrity. This role is built on influence rather than direct administrative management: there is no direct subordinate team – it requires forming project teams from related functions, testing hypotheses, and defending decisions.

Success in this role requires systematic and commercial thinking, experience in creating physical formats, and the ability to lead complex cross-functional projects to completion.

What you will be doing:

• Define the direction for concepts and formats of locations — space, components, services — based on the brand platform and input from teams.
• Unify the product line into a single system: differentiate location types (delivery / pickup / dine-in) and design concepts, and establish rules for format selection based on city and premises.
• Develop and maintain a "format constructor": define mandatory brand elements that can be customized to the context and left to the franchisee partner's discretion — linked to traffic, area, and investment volume.
• Ensure data-driven development: test formats in pilot projects and make decisions based on commercial results.
• Be responsible for the full format lifecycle: development → implementation → evaluation.
• Integrate company initiatives (technologies, services, equipment) into the format matrix based on economic criteria, determining their applicability to each format.
• Lead location development projects at the intersection of departments, uniting architecture, marketing, and production models.

What we expect from you:

• Experience taking full responsibility for a physical format — in retail (convenience stores, supermarkets, hypermarkets, etc.) or in chain/restaurant concepts.
• Experience creating or revising a format system (format matrix, assortment, standards).
• Proficiency in format economics: capex/opex, unit economics, payback period.
• Product and systems thinking: hypotheses → pilots → fact-based decisions.
• Ability to lead initiatives through cross-functional teams without direct administrative authority.
• Developed aesthetic taste — the ability to distinguish a strong, appropriate solution from a trendy reference and to justify choices.
• Project management skills and experience working with complex stakeholder structures.
• Willingness for fieldwork: observing guests and employees, rather than managing formats from presentations.
• Excellent communication skills and the ability to drive discussions to a resolution.

What we are ready to offer you:

• Work in a global company with ambitious goals and large-scale tasks.
• A culture of freedom and responsibility. We value those who are ready to make decisions and take responsibility for them.
• Transparent conditions. Competitive salary, opportunities for growth and development;
• Hybrid work format from Moscow.
• Paid training. Courses, conferences, professional literature, and co-financing for English courses at Skyeng.
• Employee care. Voluntary medical insurance from day one, including dental care, and mental health support through Alter.
