In fact, KFC is the world's most popular chicken restaurant chain and a division of Yum! Brands, the world’s largest restaurant company. Yum! Brands consists of KFC, Taco Bell and Pizza Hut with more than 40,000 restaurants in over 125 countries and territories and more than 1 million associates. Yum! is ranked #216 on the Fortune 500 List and generated more than $13 billion in revenue in 2012.

EDUCATION: Bachelor’s degree or equivalent experience. Masters preferred.

    - At least 8 years of experience in designing & developing enterprise applications.
    - At least 2 years of experience with architecting enterprise applications, with an emphasis on defining standards and guiding implementation of the architecture.
