Luxurious. Ambitious. Visionary. In this newly created key position, you will actively shape the culinary direction of our property as the strategic driving force behind our Food & Beverage concepts. In this role, you will design the future of our F&B world — visionary, bold, and with the ambition to take excellence to the next level. What makes this role unique:

Leadership at eye level: You lead a team of seven experienced department heads and approximately 70 employees — with clarity, inspiration, and a genuine talent for developing people.
Concept architect & innovator: You evaluate existing concepts, develop new ideas, identify F&B trends and deliberately leverage them. You think on the next level and create experiences that excite our guests.
Strategy meets profitability: Budgeting, forecasting, margin optimization — your decisions are data-driven while always keeping the guest experience at the forefront.
Operational excellence: You establish quality standards, simplify processes, implement new tools, and modernize systems. For you, efficiency is a result of strong leadership.
Connector & multiplier: You act as a strategic partner to General Management, Culinary, Marketing, Sales, and Events — with foresight, professionalism, and outstanding communication skills.
Creating experiences rather than just planning them: From wine tastings and pop-up concepts to signature events — you curate memorable moments that stay with our guests long after their stay.

This is you

Completed training in hospitality or gastronomy – ideally complemented by further education in management.
Several years of leadership experience in the F&B department of a luxury hotel.
Excellent command of German and English; Italian is an advantage.
