Continuously evaluate operations to strengthen systems, elevate guest satisfaction, and improve team performance.
Perform additional duties as needed in support of the institution’s mission and public-facing initiatives.

Qualifications:

Bachelor's degree in Hospitality Management, Restaurant Management, Business Administration, or Culinary Arts from an accredited institution preferred; equivalent combination of education and relevant professional experience will also be considered.
Five years' experience in a similar leadership position with elevated service standards that may include restaurants, retail, hotels, or other hospitality-focused industries.
Demonstrated success managing high-profile operations where professionalism, discretion, and attention to detail are critical
Strong financial acumen, including experience managing operating budgets, purchasing, inventory control, labor models, and point-of-sale systems.
Proven ability to lead, coach, and hold teams accountable to exceptionally high standards of service, presentation, and guest engagement.
Experience executing catered programs and special events requiring precision, adaptability, and coordination with multiple internal and external stakeholders.
Comfortable interacting with senior leadership, trustees, donors, chefs, and institutional partners in a polished and professional manner.
Experience with service volumes up to 500 guests daily and leading multi-level teams in dynamic environments.
