Taste Gourmet

Director of Catering

Reports to: Chief Operating Officer | Department: Event Planning & Sales | Status: Exempt, Full-Time

Bring the WOW

Taste Gourmet brings exceptional, chef-driven catering to clients across the Washington, DC metro area. We're redefining what catering can be in this city — extraordinary food, hospitality-first service, and flawless execution at every event, every time. We're looking for a Director of Sales & Events who shares that ambition and wants to lead the team that makes it happen.

About the Role

As Director of Sales & Events, you'll lead our Sales & Planning team and own the client experience from first inquiry through flawless event execution. You'll build a collaborative, high-performing culture that hits ambitious sales goals without ever losing sight of the hospitality that sets Taste Gourmet apart.

You'll drive new business development, shape proposals and pricing strategy alongside the COO and CEO, and manage the full sales pipeline — with a clear mandate: grow annual revenue by hitting and exceeding individual and team targets. You'll deepen our venue and partner relationships, build new strategic partnerships, coach Event Planners to convert more inquiries into bookings, and spot upsell opportunities that elevate every client's event.

You'll also lead sales, marketing, and business development strategy across both of our brands, DC Taste and B. Lin Catering, keeping our positioning sharp and consistent as we grow.

This role is best suited to someone with a genuine passion for food and hospitality — someone who can speak fluently about menus, beverage pairings, event logistics, and where the industry is heading, and who brings that expertise into every proposal and every client conversation.

Oversee front-of-house staffing for B. Lin
Mentor and invest in the professional growth of the Sales & Planning team, including bi-annual reviews and goal-setting
Hire and train new Events team members as the business grows

What You Bring

3+ years as an event planner, or comparable experience
3+ years managing a team
5+ years in food, beverage, or hospitality
A proven track record of hitting and exceeding sales targets
Sharp communication skills — you can translate a client's vision into clear direction for the kitchen and operations teams
The ability to juggle multiple projects at once while keeping the big picture in view
Working knowledge of Total Party Planner or comparable event planning software
Comfort with Google Suite and Microsoft Office
