Senior Marketing Manager

Senior Marketing Manager

Location: Corporate Office - Redmond, WA (Travel Included)
Pay Range: $80,000 - $100,000/- annually
Actual compensation will be determined based on experience, skills, and internal equity.
About Us:
Kizuki International LLC is one company united by a single purpose — to spread joy through authentic culinary experiences. Our family of Asian culinary brands includes:
Kizuki Ramen & Izakaya – delivering the most authentic Japanese ramen experience outside Japan through scratch-made broths, Japanese-designed interiors, and craftsmanship.
Supreme Dumplings – offering handcrafted Xiao Long Bao and other small bites made with precision, tradition, and heartfelt execution.
Tang Bar / Swish Swish – a modern fast-casual concept bringing bold Sichuan malatang flavors to a customizable, energetic format.
Though each concept is unique, all share the same values: craftsmanship, connection, hospitality, and a relentless pursuit of culinary excellence. We proudly operate 20+ restaurants and 4+ central kitchens/commissary facilities across multiple states — and we're growing.
About the Role:
We're looking for a highly driven, culturally aware, digitally fluent Senior Marketing Manager to help lead brand growth, storytelling, social media, content creation, PR, and customer engagement for a fast-growing restaurant company with ambitious expansion plans.
This role is ideal for candidates with experience in modern restaurant, hospitality, lifestyle, or consumer brands — including companies such as Chipotle, Din Tai Fung, Panda Express, Sweetgreen, Starbucks, CAVA, Shake Shack, and similar high-growth brands.
This is not a traditional corporate marketing role. We're looking for someone who can think strategically and execute quickly — someone equally comfortable launching campaigns, creating content, managing influencers, opening new stores, and building community engagement.
