• Partner with culinary leaders to develop elevated menus and unforgettable experiences
• Drive financial performance with full ownership of budgets, P&L, and operational excellence
• Strengthen client relationships and deliver flawless, tailor-made catering experiences
• Anticipate guest needs, resolve challenges quickly, and ensure every detail is perfect

What you bring:

• 5+ years of senior leadership in fine dining, luxury hospitality, or multi-outlet operations
• Proven track record to lead high-volume restaurants and sophisticated operations with refinement
• Deep knowledge of wine, food pairings, and luxury service standards
• Strong business acumen with success in budgeting, forecasting, and cost management
• Outstanding communication, leadership, and presence, poised under pressure, encouraging at all times
• Ability to excel in a schedule that includes nights, weekends, and holidays
• A passion for elevated dining and old-school hospitality paired with a modern approach to service
