“We are committed to building our workforce and being a leading employer in Connecticut and in our industry, while other area companies are reducing their workforce,” said Lisa Shea, vice president of human resources for the Subway brand. “We have a large number of open positions across all functions of the business, and we’re looking for dedicated individuals to join our collaborative team.”

Subway has added more than a dozen key team members to its Milford Headquarters team in the areas of digital marketing, technology, restaurant operations, guest care and public relations, according to the press release. The new hires come amid global expansion in an effort to support the franchisees of nearly 45,000 restaurants and their millions of customers around the world, the press release states.

Enhancing the company’s presence in the digital space is a major focus, company officials said.

The company recently hired a director of customer engagement to focus on transforming how the brand interacts and engages with customers on a daily basis, the release said. Director roles also recently have been filled in global public relations and restaurant operations, with additional team members sought for both.
