• Support financial performance through labor management, cost control, revenue awareness, inventory discipline, and thoughtful operating decisions.
• Partner with Culinary, Events, Marketing, and Brand teams to support programming, activations, events, and revenue-generating guest experiences.
• Strengthen communication and alignment across departments, ensuring leaders are clear on business levels, VIPs, events, priorities, and follow-through.
• Reinforce standards for food safety, sanitation, responsible alcohol service, workplace safety, cleanliness, and company policies.
• Serve as a steady leadership presence during peak periods, service challenges, guest opportunities, and moments requiring additional operational support.

• 7+ years of progressive hotel operations leadership experience, with strong Food & Beverage leadership experience required.
• Demonstrated success leading Food & Beverage operations in a multi-outlet, high-touch, or complex service environment.
• Experience supporting broader hotel operations, including Rooms, guest experience, service recovery, labor management, and cross-functional communication.
• Hands-on leadership style with a strong floor presence; comfortable coaching in real time, supporting peak periods, and reinforcing standards directly with leaders and teams.
• Strong ability to develop managers, build accountability, clarify expectations, and address performance gaps with professionalism and urgency.
• Solid financial acumen, including labor management, forecasting, cost controls, inventory discipline, revenue awareness, and P&L understanding.
• Strong communication and interpersonal skills, with the ability to influence across departments and create alignment between Food & Beverage, Culinary, Rooms, Events, Marketing, and Brand.
