Marketing Manager - College Campus Dining (9791)

ABOUT GENUINE FOODS

At Genuine Foods we create nourishing food environments at schools and workplaces through great-tasting and wholesome meals, made from genuine ingredients. We are a growing social enterprise that uses food to enhance health, productivity, and happiness. We believe that fresh, scratch-made food together with unparalleled service and meaningful enrichment programs can transform lives and build community. Food service management is what we do, but what we achieve together with our customers, our partners and our dedicated team goes beyond the plate.

ABOUT THE POSITION

At Saint Leo University, we want the dining hall to feel like the heart of campus. We’re building a program students choose: signature scratch food, themed takeovers, hands-on classes and hospitality they notice at every counter.

The Marketing Manager is the person who makes that visible. You will own the student experience outside the kitchen: what students see, hear, read and take part in, in the dining hall, at retail locations and online. You will work alongside our chefs and front-of-house team every day, and you will have real room to create. This role includes some evenings and weekends for events and late-night service.

The role comes with free tuition for any program at Saint Leo University, so you can grow your career and your education at the same time.

ESSENTIAL RESPONSIBILITIES

• Plan and run regular dining programming: themed events, station takeovers and seasonal promotions, on a calendar built with the culinary team and campus partners
• Organize and host hands-on student classes on cooking, nutrition and food skills
• Create menu, station and promotional signage, including allergen labeling
• Own the front-of-house experience: visual merchandising, music and atmosphere, and simple daily standards the team can follow every meal period
• Manage dining social media and keep web content current, including listings and reviews for retail locations
• Gather student feedback and track results such as turnout, engagement, reviews and participation
• Manage the unit marketing budget and lead student marketing helpers
