Brand Lead – Value, Snacking & Gen Z

McDonald’s is the largest restaurant chain in the world and also the most people-oriented enterprise around the globe. We are constantly looking for ways to reinvent ourselves in order to serve our customers better, every single day.

The recipe for success is a combination of a strong brand with a lot of freedom for local markets. Rooted in our Belgian society for more than 45 years, we feel particularly committed to our environment and partners. There are currently 119 McDonald’s restaurants in Belgium, run by 24 independent entrepreneurs (Franchisees).

Because our business is growing fast-paced, we are looking for talented people to reinforce our head offices that provide support to all restaurants.
