Full Job Description

Build Your Leadership Career with Fusian

At Fusian, we're always looking for exceptional leaders.

While we may not have an immediate opening in every market, we're continually meeting experienced restaurant professionals who want to grow with an organization that values leadership, accountability, and developing people from within.

Rather than waiting until a position becomes available, we're building relationships with future Market Leaders who want to be part of Fusian's continued growth. If you're the type of leader who builds high-performing teams, creates exceptional guest experiences, and believes continuous improvement is part of the job, we'd love to start a conversation.

Ready for More Than Running One Restaurant?

You're a successful General Manager. Your restaurant performs. Your team trusts you. You've developed leaders, solved tough operational challenges, and built a culture people want to be part of.

Now you're ready for your next challenge.

At FUSIAN, we're looking for a Market Leader to partner directly with our Restaurant Operations Manager in supporting multiple restaurants across the Columbus market. This is an opportunity to expand your impact beyond a single location while continuing to lead your own home restaurant.

If you've been looking for the next step toward multi-unit leadership, this role was built for you.

What you’ll do:

As Market Leader, you'll continue leading your home restaurant while helping strengthen leadership, operations, and culture across multiple locations. You'll work shoulder-to-shoulder with General Managers—not to replace them, but to coach, develop, and support them.

Your responsibilities will include:

Leading a high-performing home restaurant while maintaining exceptional guest experiences and financial results
Coaching and mentoring General Managers, Operations Managers, Shift Leaders, and future leaders
Supporting restaurants with staffing, scheduling, labor management, inventory, and operational execution
Helping solve operational challenges before they become bigger problems
Driving accountability, consistency, and continuous improvement across the market
Developing future leaders and strengthening succession planning
Analyzing business performance and coaching leaders on improving results
Supporting recruiting, interviewing, and onboarding future restaurant leaders
Building a culture where people feel challenged, supported, and recognized
Partnering closely with the Restaurant Operations Manager and ownership to execute strategic initiatives

We're searching for someone who naturally develops people and leads through influence—not just authority.

You'll be successful if you:

Love coaching and mentoring others
Hold yourself and others accountable
Build trust quickly with restaurant teams
Thrive in fast-paced environments
Enjoy solving operational challenges
Lead with humility, integrity, and urgency
Believe great restaurants are built by great people

Experience with fast casual, quick-service, casual dining, or multi-unit restaurant operations is preferred.

This Is an Ongoing Leadership Opportunity

This posting is part of Fusian's long-term leadership recruiting strategy.

Qualified candidates will participate in our interview process and, when there's a strong mutual fit, may be considered for current or future leadership opportunities as they become available.

If you're not actively looking today but are open to the right opportunity, we'd still encourage you to apply. We'd welcome the chance to get to know you before the perfect role opens.

Compensation and benefits

$70,000–$75,000 base salary
Bonus opportunity
2 weeks PTO
Health, dental, and vision insurance
Life insurance
Flexible scheduling
Free employee meals
Growth opportunities
Collaborative team culture

This isn't a traditional District Manager position where you're removed from restaurant operations. You'll remain connected to the business by leading your own restaurant while helping elevate leaders and operations across the market. You'll have the opportunity to influence multiple teams, build the next generation of leaders, and play a key role in FUSIAN's continued growth.

If you're looking for a career—not just your next job—we'd love to meet you.

You do you, with us.
