Climbing the Ladder: From Intern to Senior Manager

with Senior Marketing Manager, Design and Development, Katie Beattie

In her rise from Aramark Step Up to Leadership intern to Senior Marketing Manager, Katie Beattie has learned the importance of taking chances, even if it pushes you outside of your comfort zone.

Katie Beattie, Senior Marketing Manager, Design and Development

Katie Beattie (she/her), Senior Marketing Manager, Design and Development, began her journey with Aramark as a Step Up to Leadership (S2L) program intern. Her passion for the versatility of the business, combined with a love of sports from her childhood, allowed her to explore various areas of Aramark, seek growth opportunities, and ultimately find a home in our Sports & Entertainment line of business.

 

As a junior in college, Katie accepted an internship offer in Aramark’s Healthcare line of business, in a role where she focused on sales marketing but gained exposure to other areas of the industry. The following year, she returned to Aramark in our Accelerate to Leadership (A2L) program for recent college graduates.

 

“Step Up to Leadership was a fantastic experience, so much so, that when they called about interviewing for the A2L program, it was a no brainer. At that point, I was graduating as a Sports Marketing major, but I didn’t mind that I wasn’t going to be working in a field that lined up with what I had studied. I knew that Aramark opens so many doors and that being there as a full-time employee, rather than an intern, was so important.”

 

In the A2L program, Katie experienced working in our Refreshments and Destinations lines of business. She held the title of Catering Manager for six weeks at the Camden Aquarium, helped in warehouses, and managed route sales drives for micro-markets, all while enjoying the range of projects on which she was working. But, as a former college student-athlete, Katie couldn’t stay away the world of sports she grew up loving.

“When my A2L Program came to an end, I started applying to more roles at Aramark. I knew that in my mind I would love to be somewhere at corporate and wanted to end up in sports.”

 

With timing on her side, Katie landed on the Design and Development team in Sports & Entertainment as a Project Manager promptly after the end of her A2L Program. She wrote newsletters, strategized menu boards, developed social media content and strategy, among other traditional marketing tasks. From there, she was promoted to a Marketing Manager role.

 

“Through COVID-19, I was able to transition into larger projects, really focusing on technology and innovation. I didn’t know it before, but I’ve come to realize that’s my passion in this industry.”

 

Now as a Senior Marketing Manager on the Design and Development Team, Katie finds her experiences from the S2L and A2L Programs useful in her day-to-day work.

 

“It’s so nice to have the background – working a bit on the sales side, seeing P&Ls, meeting people, and working on marketing materials here and there. Doing that in my S2L translated to my A2L, where sometimes I even had to use tools to get products off shelves in the warehouse, learning the operations side of the business. I can still turn that side of my brain on to think about some of the challenges we’re up against these days when we’re looking at introducing new products and experiences. I was never in marketing roles, but I made them one, making flyers and marketing tools to help sell and push products. I was able to find my own path, which has helped now in the Sports & Entertainment business because we all have to be super flexible.”

 

Katie appreciates the support she’s had from leaders throughout her time at Aramark who have encouraged her to take risks and believe in herself. She points to the empowerment of women in the industry that has especially led her to love her job.

 

“Our leadership places a lot of focus on gender representation, because it’s so important to us and not always the case that women are well-represented in the industry. Most of my team is women, but no matter if you’re a man or woman in our world, everybody is supportive of your goals and ambitions. Every single person I’ve come across has had belief in me and let me pave my own way.”

 

Alicia Woznicki, Vice President, Design and Development, of our Sports & Entertainment line of business, has been able to watch Katie grow first-hand as her manager.

 

“Watching Katie grow and develop as been a highlight of my time at Aramark. She is so open to learning new things and embracing challenges. That willingness and approach to her career has enabled her to advance on the Sports and Entertainment team and become a true industry expert. She is mature beyond her years and has a great future ahead of her.”

 

Throughout her time at Aramark, Katie has learned that staying flexible, asking questions, and taking leaps of faith has helped her as she’s progressed in her career. As an intern in Healthcare, she made the most of every opportunity, and now as a Senior Marketing Manager in Sports & Entertainment, she’s realized that by taking her first initial risk in joining Aramark, she has landed her dream job.

 

Her advice to college students looking for their next opportunity? Take the job, even if it’s not exactly what you planned.

 

“Don’t turn something down just because it isn’t exactly what you are looking for. All the experiences you’ll gain will help you learn and round you out even more. Take the job to get your foot in the door. Your growth will be what you make of it. I landed right where I wanted to be because I tried something a little bit different.”

Q + A

Hear more from our conversation with Katie in the Q&A section below.

  • What are some of your favorite memories from your time at Aramark?

    I probably have three favorites. My first one is working the Eagles’ Super Bowl. I wasn’t born an Eagles fan, but I’ve since adopted the Eagles as my team. After the Eagles’ Super Bowl in Minneapolis, I was literally on the field throwing confetti, and it was the most magical experience I could have ever imagined for my job. Also, another favorite memory was when I got to see our Tender Love and Chicken brand come to life for the first time at a super grand scale. My third favorite was that at the Super Bowl in Miami, I was able to bring my parents with me. They’re San Francisco 49ers fans, and the Niners were in the Super Bowl that year.

  • How would you describe the people and culture at Aramark?

    A lot of my close friends have been current or former Aramark colleagues. We work really hard, but we also have a sense of work-life balance. If you want to learn something that the COE (Marketing Center of Excellence) or someone else is doing, they’ll take the time to get on a call with you. We’re all so busy, but people will always take the time to tell you what they’re doing, have lunch, or go to a happy hour. Pre-COVID, I played on a softball team with a bunch of people from Aramark, and we had a great time for two seasons. From happy hours to fitness programs, we’re bringing people together. We’re in hospitality; we’re a people business. It’s super welcoming.

  • What is the most rewarding part of your job?

    I have such a good team and good leadership who believe in us and are so empowering of women, because it’s often hard in sports. I think that leads to everything I love about my job. They allow me to see everything from start to finish; I set the strategy, we sell that strategy, we lead the project, and then we get to see it go live. To see fans take out their phones walking through a concession stand, or videoing themselves buying a beer and hotdog, it’s so rewarding. Being able to see that start to finish and see the true impact on the fans is unique.
