Ideal Candidate
This position is perfect for a Catering Coordinator with a hybrid operational and sales mindset. We are looking for someone who enjoys building relationships and closing business, but who is equally comfortable rolling up their sleeves and making sure an event is executed flawlessly.
The ideal candidate is commercially driven, highly organized, hands-on, and passionate about hospitality. You should be comfortable meeting a potential client in the morning, preparing a proposal in the afternoon, and overseeing a catering event that evening.
Our restaurants and catering operations are lively and fast-paced, so we are looking for someone with energy, initiative, strong leadership, attention to detail, and a genuine desire to grow the business.
If you are an experienced hospitality professional who can sell the event, plan the event, and execute the event, we would love to meet you!
