Full Job Description

B&D is seeking a strategic, client-facing Associate who is energized by complex negotiations, institutional partnerships, and the opportunity to guide colleges and universities through high-impact procurement and dining advisory decisions.

The Opportunity

Brailsford & Dunlavey (B&D), we lead the planning, development, and management of the places that shape and strengthen communities—where people live, learn, work, and play. B&D partners with institutions, municipalities, and organizations to shape and deliver complex real estate and capital projects, providing strategic insight and end-to-end advisory services across the full project lifecycle.

B&D recently joined forces with Project Management Advisors, bringing together two nationally recognized leaders in program management and real estate advisory services. Together, the combined firm offers expanded capabilities across industries and throughout the full project lifecycle—from early-stage strategy and planning through execution and beyond.

Our Dining Advisory Practice Group partners with higher education institutions nationwide to advise on the planning, procurement, and long-term performance of campus dining programs and food service partnerships.

This role is uniquely positioned within the firm and plays a critical part in advancing B&D’s broader management advisory work. Dining engagements often integrate with larger institutional planning efforts—including student life, housing, athletics, and campus development—requiring close collaboration across the firm to deliver coordinated strategies that support each institution’s mission.

This position is not just focused on contract administration. It goes beyond merely processing agreements, monitoring compliance, and ensuring that contract terms are documented correctly. This role requires an individual who can help institutions develop stronger partnerships through thoughtful negotiation, strategic positioning, and sound advisory judgment.

This is a remote position within the continental United States, with the expectation that candidates live near a major airport due to regular business travel. Preference will be given to applicants located near one of B&D’s regional offices in Washington, DC; New York City; Atlanta; Chicago; Austin; Costa Mesa; or San Jose.

How You'll Contribute

As a Senior Associate, you will lead dining advisory engagements while serving as a trusted advisor to institutional clients. Responsibilities include:

Lead and manage dining advisory projects from planning through implementation
Develop and oversee deliverables, including:
- Dining master plans
- Needs assessments
- Operational reviews
- Service audits
- Contractor solicitation processes
- Financial reviews and modeling
- Business plans
- Market analyses
Manage the full procurement lifecycle, including:
- Schedule development
- RFP drafting
- Proposal evaluation
- Contract review
- Business term negotiation support
Advise clients through contract negotiations and implementation of new operating agreements
Serve as the primary client relationship manager on assigned engagements
Translate procurement and contract complexity into clear strategic recommendations for clients
Coordinate dining advisory work with broader firmwide planning efforts across multiple practice areas
Develop high-quality presentations, reports, and project documentation
Manage multiple concurrent engagements while maintaining quality, schedule, and budget expectations
Supervise and mentor junior staff across project teams
Contribute to business development through:
- Proposal development
- Conference participation
- Thought leadership
- Relationship cultivation
Strengthen internal tools, methodologies, and advisory best practices

What We're Looking For

7+ years of professional experience in:
- Dining services
- Foodservice operations
- Procurement
- Contract administration
- Advisory or related fields
At least 4 years of direct experience in:
- Dining solicitations
- Procurement processes
- Contract negotiations
- Agreement management
Bachelor’s degree in Hospitality Management, Business, Higher Education Administration, or related field required.
An advanced degree is strongly preferred, including an MBA, J.D., or paralegal or other professional legal training.
Higher education dining experience strongly preferred
Strong understanding of contract structures, business terms, operational performance metrics, and procurement strategy
Excellent writing skills, verbal communication, facilitation skills, and presentation abilities
Strong analytical and organizational capabilities
Ability to work independently while leading multiple projects
Willingness to travel two or more times per month
Alignment with B&D’s mission, values, and collaborative culture
What Sets You Apart

The ideal candidate will bring:
Experience leading procurement or solicitation processes from strategy through implementation
Confidence in managing direct contract negotiations
Strong stakeholder and executive-level client communication
The ability to translate technical procurement language into clear client recommendations
Strategic thinking that extends beyond contract administration into long-term partnership planning
Experience developing negotiation strategies, service models, performance metrics and implementation approaches

This may be an ideal opportunity for someone from foodservice operations, hospitality, procurement, legal-adjacent work, or advisory environments who wants broader influence, more meaningful client engagement, and the opportunity to shape institutional strategy—not just support it.

Our application process includes a resume, a cover letter (optional, but highly encouraged), and a few important questions. We’re excited to learn more about you!
