This is a great opportunity to join a Michelin-starred restaurant in NYC as a Beverage Director, leading a program that is thoughtful, refined, and deeply connected to the overall guest experience.
This role is very hands-on - you’ll be on the floor during service, setting the tone, engaging with guests, and leading from the front.
What You’ll Be Doing

- Curating a dynamic, seasonal offering that aligns with the culinary vision
- Managing costs, inventory, and overall financial performance
- Tracking sales trends and optimizing the program for profitability
- Leading, training, and developing the front-of-house team on beverage knowledge
- Running tastings, education sessions, and building a strong culture of learning
- Working closely with the culinary team on pairings and guest experience
- Being a constant presence on the floor, driving service standards and guest engagement
What We’re Looking For
- Strong background in fine dining / Michelin-level environments
- Deep expertise in wine and beverage programs
- Proven leadership experience with a focus on team development
- Someone who can build and evolve systems, not just maintain them
- Polished, guest-facing, and confident in high-touch service environments
- Detail-oriented with strong financial and operational awareness
