WHAT DOES A TYPICAL DAY LOOK LIKE?:
RESPONSIBILITIES
As our Director of Catering & Events - Operations, you'll be at the helm of all things catering & event operations. These are the results you'll be hired to accomplish:
» ① A Healthy & High-Performing Catering & Events Team
In this role, you’ll hire & train a *dream team* full of the ‘right people’ — that fit our culture — in the ‘right seats’ — the job that best matches what they’re naturally wired to do, and do well.
» ② Bulletproof Event Preparation
Every event is staffed, prepped, packed, and staged correctly before it leaves the building — no scrambling, no missing pieces, no last-minute chaos.
» ③ Consistent, On-Point Event Execution
You make sure events are run the right way, every time. During peak volume, you’ll be present across multiple events — coaching in real time and reinforcing our standards so they stick.
» ④ Tight, Controlled Catering Costs
You actively manage labor, food, and operating costs so they stay in check and on track — without ever cutting corners or sacrificing quality.
» ⑤ A Well-Oiled Catering & Events Machine
You build, improve, and maintain the systems behind how we operate — so the entire department runs on structure and repeatable processes, not heroics, guesswork, or “how we’ve always done it.”
*As a disclaimer*: This is a dynamic position, in a rapidly growing company, in an always-changing industry. That means that this position and its responsibilities will continue to evolve. So, if you're change-adverse, this job ain't it.
That being said - if you're good with change, and are willing to try new things - you'll love this job, and it'll love you right back.
PAY
We pay a base wage of $85,000 - $90,000, depending on experience, plus a performance-based quarterly bonus after the 90-day onboarding period. Total compensation for this position will likely fall between $100000.00 - $105000.00 per year.
WORK SCHEDULE
This position is full-time, with a semi-set schedule designed around the demands of our catered events. Our Director of Catering & Events - Operations will be on-site for the most significant, most complex, highest-revenue events — and expected to float between multiple events in a single day when needed. While the weekly schedule may vary, days off are typically back-to-back. Our Director of Catering & Events - Operations will work 5 days, and typically 45-50 hours per week.
WILL YOU FIT IN HERE?
Our team has been built - brick by brick - on shared core values. And no, they’re not just bullsh*t words slapped on a wall - they’re who we are at our core - and they’re non-negotiables for working here. You’ll feel super *comfy* and right at home if these words describe you:
» You Come With Batteries Included
You’re a high-energy self-starter who jumps into action, and doesn’t need hand-holding to get things done.
» You’re Scrappy
You’re a resourceful problem-solver who makes things happen; if there’s no door, you get in through a window.
» You Take Your Work Seriously
You take pride in your work, big and small, and you have a natural reflex to do things the *right* way.
» But, You Don’t Take Yourself Too Seriously
You’re a positive team player who owns up to your mistakes, is open to feedback, and is humble about your wins.
And if these words *don’t* describe you? You’ll be decidedly *uncomfy* here. So, fair warning - If you’re a cranky a** problem-bringer who’s cool being super-mid at your job and needs constant hand holding… may we suggest… working literally anywhere else?
