Responsibilities

The Director, Site Food and Nutrition Services serves as Mayo Clinic’s senior on-site leader and owner’s representative for food services across one or more assigned sites.

This leader is visibly present on site, exercises authority through standards and accountability, and partners closely with site leadership, clinical stakeholders, and system partners to deliver outcomes aligned with Mayo Clinic expectations.

Bachelor’s degree in Nutrition, Hospitality Management, Business Administration, Public Health, or a related field.
Eight or more years of progressive leadership experience in food services, hospitality, or complex service operations with accountability for quality, safety, people leadership, and operational performance.
Five or more years of experience leading complex operational areas.
Demonstrated expertise in exceptional food quality, hospitality execution, regulatory compliance, and performance improvement.
Contract management and vendor governance experience, including the ability to evaluate, challenge, and direct vendor performance.
