Job Summary:

The Lodge at Big Springs is a cornerstone of the Northstar experience — a high-energy, high-volume mountain dining destination where great food, genuine hospitality, and unforgettable views come together. We’re looking for an experienced food and beverage leader to take the helm, build an exceptional team, and create the kind of guest experience people remember long after they have left the mountain.

This is more than a management role. It is a chance to shape a culture, develop people, and lead meaningful work in one of the most dynamic settings in the industry.

Job Responsibilities:

You’ll oversee all aspects of daily operations at the Lodge at Big Springs — from service quality and food safety to labor planning, financial performance, and team development. With 50+ employees depending on your leadership, you will set the tone for how the team works together and how guests feel when they walk through the door.
