• 2–4 years of food and beverage supervisory experience, ideally in a private club, luxury hotel, or upscale restaurant.

• A genuine passion for hospitality and a natural, approachable, positive presence with members and staff.

• Must have a natural, confident personality, with the ability to talk easily with a wide variety of people on a range of subjects.

• Proven ability to lead, train, and motivate a team.

• Solid knowledge of food, wine, spirits, and beverage service.

• An interest in wine and beverage procurement, bringing fresh ideas to the beverage program, driving sales, and creating memorable special events.

• Experience with scheduling, inventory, and POS systems.

• Strong organizational and problem-solving skills, with the ability to stay calm and composed during busy service.

• Food Manager certification (e.g., ServSafe) and responsible alcohol service certification, or willingness to obtain.

• Availability to work evenings, weekends, and holidays as the club calendar requires.

• Bilingual English/Spanish is a plus.
