Project Manager - Food & Beverage Development

Job Description Wynn Resorts is seeking a highly organized and process-driven Project Manager to support the Senior Vice President of Food & Beverage Development by leading project management and procurement coordination across the F&B Development portfolio. This role serves as the operational backbone of the department — partnering with resort operations teams, purchasing, internal departments, and external vendors to maintain compendiums, drive timelines, manage processes, and deliver timely, frequent updates to all stakeholders. The Project Manager ensures our operators have the tools, information, and support they need to successfully elevate F&B programming across Wynn Las Vegas, Encore, and Wynn Al Marjan Island. The ideal candidate is a strong team player and an equally strong self-starter who thrives with limited direct oversight, anticipates what is needed, and consistently moves work forward. Key Responsibilities Manage end-to-end project timelines for new F&B openings, re-concepts, and ongoing operational initiatives across the global portfolio. Maintain and continuously update F&B Development compendiums, trackers, and project documentation, ensuring a single source of truth for all stakeholders. Partner with resort Purchasing teams to coordinate sourcing, ordering, lead-time tracking, and on-time delivery of operating supplies and equipment. Serve as the day-to-day liaison between F&B Development, Operations, Culinary, Purchasing, Finance, Design, and other resort departments. Manage vendor communications and relationships — issuing purchase order requests, monitoring fulfillment, escalating issues, and tracking supplier performance. Produce regular status reports, dashboards, and stakeholder updates that keep operators and executive leadership aligned on progress, risks, and decisions. Coordinate logistics for samples, mock-ups, presentations, and on-property reviews. Track project budgets and purchase order commitments against plan; flag variances and recommend corrective actions. Build and refine repeatable processes that strengthen how F&B Development partners with operators and procurement teams. Support the SVP in preparing executive briefings, meeting agendas, and follow-up actions. Other job duties as assigned. Qualifications Minimum of three years of progressive experience in project management, hospitality operations, procurement, or F&B development; luxury hospitality experience preferred. Demonstrated ability to manage multiple concurrent projects with competing deadlines while maintaining attention to detail. Strong organizational and process-orientation; experienced in building and maintaining trackers, compendiums, and documentation systems. Excellent written and verbal communication skills; able to translate complex updates into clear, actionable stakeholder communications. Strong team player and equally strong self-starter who thrives with limited direct oversight; takes initiative, anticipates needs, and consistently drives work to completion. Excellent problem-solving and critical-thinking abilities. Working knowledge of procurement processes, purchase order workflows, and vendor management. Proficiency in Microsoft Office (Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook) required; experience with project management or procurement platforms a plus. Ability to work effectively under pressure in a fast-paced, deadline-driven environment. Willingness to travel as needed, including internationally; travel is expected to be periodic rather than extensive. Must be able to obtain and maintain any licensing or active work cards required, at present or in the future, for this position at all times.
