The opportunity timeline

• Overview

  KFC is hiring a HR Generalist in Detroit, MI.

• Role description

  Behind KFC's next big bet is a model someone has to build, defend, and stand behind; we're hiring that someone as our HR Generalist. Rare is the senior opening that pairs $68,000 - $110,000 with the freedom to shape business work the way this Detroit one does.

  Key Responsibilities

  • Pressure-test new market entries before KFC commits real budget
  • Find the customer segment KFC keeps overlooking and size the prize
  • Decide which business experiments graduate and which quietly die
  • Build the financial case for hiring before the business team drowns
  • Decide where KFC should say no so it can say yes to one thing
  • Design dashboards that track revenue, retention, and unit economics

  What You'll Bring

  • Comfort owning a number that goes up or down because of you
  • The judgment to distinguish a fire drill from an actual fire
  • The discipline to finish the boring 20% that makes the rest matter
  • Senior-caliber judgment about when to escalate and when to absorb
  • Solid Talent Acquisition grounding, plus HR Business Partnering you can pick up on the fly
  • Real proficiency with 360 Degree Feedback, plus willingness to learn Talent Acquisition fast
  • A portfolio or work samples that demonstrate your business expertise

  KFC was founded on a hunch that business could be far less awful, and Detroit turned out to be the perfect place to prove it. We hire unhurried people, get out of their way, and let the 360 Degree Feedback results speak.

  Beyond $68,000 - $110,000, KFC offers a generous benefits package and the chance to lead projects that build your skills.

  Live this hour, the business role remains open and unclaimed.
