Leader In Training

Chick-fil-A Roanoke is selectively seeking motivated candidates who are passionate about serving others, positively impacting their community, business/entrepreneurship, and providing excellent hospitality. Candidates who apply to a leadership role should desire to pursue Chick-fil-A as a career or wish to gain valuable experience over years that they may carry on with them to achieve their long term goals.

Candidates selected for this position will join our restaurant team to master day-to-day operational basics before officially entering Chick-fil-A Roanoke's Aspire Leadership Development Program. As an Aspire participant, candidates can expect to learn the business firsthand while receiving regular 1-on-1 coaching. Through this program we invest in candidates by meeting them where they are on their leadership journey; tailoring timelines and training investment to the candidate's needs.

Aspire offers a balance of hands-on training and self-led development designed to build initiative and help candidates pursue what's next. The capstone position in the process is a Director role that empowers leaders to take ownership of an area of a multimillion dollar business; implementing a vision and striving for excellence. CFA ROA Executive Leaders partner closely with Directors to set and achieve a shared team vision, have a positive impact on our local community, and help directors achieve individual personal and professional goals.
