New York City, NY

$100,000 – $110,000 + Benefits & Discounts

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

• Owning and evolving the full beverage program (wine, spirits, and non-alcoholic)
• 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
