Senior Product 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

Under general direction and in close partnership with Engineering, Operations, and external 3P/vendor partners:

3P Marketplace & Integration Ownership

• Accountable for the reliability of 3P and delivery channels representing over a billion dollars in annual system-wide digital sales

• Serve as the primary product-side point of contact for 3P partner escalations, platform changes, and contract-driven feature requests

Post-Purchase Experience

Strategy & Discovery

• Lead structured discovery for new integration, delivery, and post-purchase initiatives — including stakeholder interviews, vendor evaluations, and hypothesis-driven validation

Cross-Functional & Vendor Leadership
