Director of Outlets

Director of Outlets

Shamin Hotels is hiring a Director of Outlets to lead food and beverage across a portfolio of more than 80 hotels and to build something here that does not exist yet.

Five new outlets are already in the pipeline: three at The Mondelle, our new luxury Hilton hotel; The Celestial, the rooftop bar and lounge atop our AC Hotel and Residence Inn dual-brand in Scott's Addition; and the proposed Terrace Bar at our Tempo by Hilton and Homewood Suites dual-brand at Midtown 64. None of them have concepts yet. You will write all of them and there are more behind them.

This role is different because Shamin Hotels is the largest hotel owner in the Commonwealth of Virginia 81+ hotels, more than 14 under construction, over $1 billion invested in Virginia alone. Family-owned and operated since 1979, with a focus on long-term brand creation and no layers between a good idea and a decision.

Our ambition is a Shamin restaurant group concepts strong enough to carry their own name and eventually stand on their own outside the hotel walls. The person in this seat is the one who builds it.

Scale that rewards a good idea. What works at one property does not stop at one property. You will have a growing portfolio to roll it into and the capital to do it properly.

You report to the Chief Operating Officer and work directly with ownership on concept, design, and capital. Decisions here take days, not quarters.

You will own concept and brand, menus and culinary direction, new outlet development, revenue and marketing, P&L performance, and people and standards.

Your first 12 months will involve walking every outlet in the portfolio, locking concepts, menus, and design direction for all three Mondelle outlets, taking The Celestial from visual identity to an operating concept, launching a monthly activation calendar at a first group of properties, and delivering the revenue behind it.

Qualifications include 7+ years of progressive food & beverage and culinary leadership, the credibility to lead a restaurant division, a track record of concept development, menu creation, and revenue growth, restaurant marketing and activation experience, and the financial acumen to own a multi-unit P&L budgeting, forecasting, and cost control.

Independent restaurant development experience is strongly preferred. Based in Richmond, VA, with regular travel across the portfolio.
