Discovery Channel Jobs (NOW HIRING)

At Pizza Hut, we're building the future of omnichannel commerce for one of the world's most iconic restaurant brands.

Operating in more than 100 countries with nearly 20,000 restaurants, Pizza Hut sits at the intersection of physical retail, ecommerce, loyalty, marketplaces, and digital experience. From mobile apps and aggregators to dine-in, carryout, kiosks, and delivery, our channels are dynamic, interconnected, and rapidly evolving.

As Director, Channel Strategy, you will help shape how those channels work together to create seamless guest experiences and drive profitable growth around the world.

This role is part strategist, part systems thinker, and part connector-responsible for defining the global frameworks, channel roles, and guest journey principles that help markets operate as one connected omnichannel ecosystem.

You won't be managing day-to-day channel execution. Instead, you'll define the strategy, playbooks, and operating principles that enable markets to scale smarter, more connected guest experiences across acquisition, conversion, and retention.

This is a unique opportunity to influence the future of digital commerce and omnichannel growth at global scale while helping bring Pizza Hut's "Feed Good Times" brand voice to life across every touchpoint.

What You'll Do

• Establish channel roles, priorities, and experience principles across the guest journey 
• Help evolve Pizza Hut's omnichannel growth model across acquisition, conversion, and retention

• Establish frameworks for how guests move from discovery to purchase to fulfillment 
• Partner with teams across Brand, Operations, Digital & Technology, Analytics, and Finance to improve experience continuity and conversion 
• Help shape how "Feed Good Times" comes to life across commerce experiences globally 

Build Scalable Global Frameworks

• Create scalable playbooks, merchandising principles, and channel best practices that markets can adapt locally to drive profitable growth
• Define where consistency matters globally and where markets should flex based on local context 
• Simplify complex challenges into clear, actionable guidance for teams around the world 
• Support markets in unlocking growth opportunities across ecommerce and physical commerce channels 

Drive Commercial Performance Thinking

• Help define how omnichannel performance is measured consistently across sessions, conversion, AOV, channel mix, incrementality, and profitability 
• Partner with Finance and Analytics teams to strengthen performance frameworks and decision-making 
• Ensure channel strategies support total business growth, not isolated channel optimization 

Lead Through Influence

• Act as a strategic connector across cross-functional and international teams 
• Bring structure, clarity, and alignment to complex omnichannel initiatives 
• Influence senior stakeholders and market teams through strong storytelling, frameworks, and strategic thinking 
• Help shape the future direction of omnichannel commerce at Pizza Hut 

What We're Looking For

• 12+ years of experience in omnichannel, ecommerce, digital commerce, marketplace, loyalty, or related strategy roles 
• Strong understanding of how digital and physical channels work together to drive customer growth 
• Experience working across ecommerce, retail, marketplace, or customer journey ecosystems 
• Proven ability to translate complex ideas into simple, scalable frameworks 
• Strong strategic thinking paired with commercial pragmatism 
• Ability to influence across highly matrixed organizations 
• Comfortable operating in ambiguity and helping shape new capabilities 
• Passion for customer experience, commerce innovation, and growth 

Bonus Points For:

• Global or multi-market experience 
• QSR, retail, hospitality, or consumer brand experience 
• Experience working across both owned and third-party commerce ecosystems
