General Manager

At MOD, we believe that we are often shaped by our experiences and especially by the people who have influenced us along the way. Leaders at MOD are the role models for the Squad. Through their actions, leaders demonstrate how our beliefs guide their behavior. As a leader, you are responsible for preparing your Squad for success. A leader is someone who puts people first, embraces our platform of pizza to make impacts and focuses on building character traits, not just the operational skills of their employees. Being a leader at MOD means being a mentor, serving others by preparing and empowering them to take the reins of their own lives.

We believe if we treat our people right, our people will take care of our customers, and our business will thrive. It all boils down to our purpose: MOD exists to serve people, in order to contribute to a work that works for and includes everyone. Are you ready to lead with MOD?
