Red D are recruiting a Director of Food & Beverage for one of Ireland’s leading five-star hotels.
This is a rare and rewarding opportunity for a seasoned Food & Beverage leader to take the reins of a world-class operation. You’ll oversee a portfolio of stunning restaurants, bars, lounges, event spaces, and private dining outlets — all within a property celebrated for its service, style, and exceptional guest experiences.
We’re looking for someone with gravitas — a mature leader with experience managing large teams across multiple outlets, confident in making key decisions, and dedicated to delivering five-star standards every day. This isn’t a stepping-stone role. This is a career-defining position at the very top of Irish hospitality.
What You’ll Be Doing:
* Leading all food and beverage operations across multiple restaurants, bars, lounges, in‑room dining, and event spaces
* Working closely with chefs and service teams to ensure flawless guest experiences that reflect the hotel’s five‑star standards
* Mentoring and inspiring a large, multi‑layered team, ensuring everyone feels supported and empowered to succeed
* Overseeing budgets, financial planning, and cost control, while never compromising on quality
* Collaborating with other senior leaders — including Sales, Events, Marketing, and Rooms — to ensure every guest journey is seamless
* Championing innovation while honouring tradition — bringing fresh ideas to food and service without losing sight of what makes this property special
* Maintaining the highest standards for health, safety, hygiene, and guest satisfaction
* Leading with confidence, calm under pressure, and always focused on delivering excellence
What We’re Looking For:
* Proven experience as a Director of Food & Beverage, Senior Food & Beverage Manager or multi‑outlet F&B Manager in a five‑star or luxury hotel environment
* A mature, composed leader who has successfully managed large teams across diverse outlets
* Commercially astute with a strong track record of achieving financial targets while delivering exceptional guest experiences
* A hands‑on approach, leading from the front and engaging with both guests and teams
* Deep knowledge of the luxury hospitality landscape and what it takes to exceed guest expectations consistently
* A collaborative style — working well with executive peers and across departments
What’s on Offer:
* Performance‑related bonus
* Genuine opportunities for growth and progression
* The chance to lead one of the country’s finest food and beverage operations and leave a lasting legacy
If you are a respected Five‑Star, Food & Beverage leader ready to take on a role that will challenge and reward you at the highest level, we would be delighted to hear from you.
Confidentiality is assured.
