Who We Are

At BJ’s Restaurants, we’ve been bringing people together to celebrate life’s moments since 1978.

• Build digital learning content — develop e-learning modules, interactive courses, and microlearning assets for BJ's LMS platform that meet team members where they are

• Design visual job aids — cut spec charts, build sequence cards, portion guides, and station references that live and get used where the work actually happens

• Write rollout guides — clear, manager-ready documentation for menu changes, new processes, and operational updates that get people up to speed fast

• Own your timelines — manage multiple projects with short turnarounds, communicate proactively, and deliver on deadline without losing quality

• Show up in the field — regularly visit BJ's restaurants to work alongside teams, gather feedback, observe real operations, and ensure every training tool reflects how things actually work on a busy shift
