Great hospitality doesn’t happen behind a desk. It happens on the floor, in the dining room, and in every guest interaction. Sanctuary Hotel, located in the heart of Times Square, is looking for an energetic, experienced Director of Food & Beverage who knows how to bring great food, exceptional service, and unforgettable guest experiences together. With exciting dining destinations including Haven Rooftop, Sushi Lab, and Chemistry Room, we’re looking for someone who loves the energy of New York City hospitality and knows how to keep multiple operations running at their best.

What you bring to the table • At least 5 years of progressive food and beverage leadership experience in upscale hospitality. • Experience overseeing multiple restaurants, bars, or hotel food and beverage outlets. • A strong understanding of upscale dining, rooftop venues, nightlife, and high-volume operations. • Solid financial skills, including P&L management, budgeting, labor, and cost controls. • A leadership style that’s hands-on, approachable, and focused on results. • The ability to build great teams, hold people accountable, and create a positive work environment. • Strong communication skills and the confidence to work directly with senior leadership and ownership. • Excellent judgment, problem-solving skills, and the ability to think on your feet. • A genuine passion for hospitality and an eye for the details that make an experience special. • Flexibility to work evenings, weekends, and holidays as needed. • A degree in Hospitality Management, Business, or a related field is a plus. What we offer • Competitive salary of $120,000–$150,000 annually. • Medical, dental, and vision insurance. • Retirement savings plan with company match. • Paid time off and holidays. • The opportunity to lead some of Times Square’s most exciting dining and nightlife venues. • A fast-paced environment where your ideas, leadership, and results make a real impact.
