Required Qualifications

Preferred Background

We welcome candidates from backgrounds such as:

• Food production or manufacturing facilities leader

Experience within a multi-unit restaurant, hotel, resort, hospitality, food-production, or similarly asset-intensive organization is highly valued.

 

Ideal Candidate

The ideal candidate is not simply someone who manages maintenance tickets and calls contractors .

You should be comfortable moving between strategic planning, executive communication, property inspections, vendor management, and urgent operational problem-solving .
