Red D are recruiting an Operations Manager for a contemporary four-star hotel in Dublin City Centre.

This is a high-impact, senior role in a property known for its great food, lively events, and consistently strong service. With a popular bar and bistro, and event spaces that host everything from board meetings to large receptions, this hotel is well-regarded and busy year-round.

We’re looking for an Operations Manager who’s confident running day-to-day hotel operations and knows how to get the best from their team. You’ll support the General Manager and head office with the smooth running of all departments, including food & beverage, front office, housekeeping and maintenance. You’ll need to be hands-on, commercially aware, and focused on delivering a high standard of guest experience.

Hotel experience is essential. This role won’t suit someone from standalone restaurants or venues — we’re looking for someone who understands how a full-service hotel runs, both front and back of house.

You’ll also have a key role in planning, budgeting, managing costs, and aligning resources to keep the operation efficient and on track.

The ideal Operations Manager will have:

• At least 3–4 years of senior operations experience in a hotel
• A background managing food & beverage, front office and events
• A calm, confident leadership style and a genuine interest in developing teams
• Strong communication skills and a clear focus on guest satisfaction
• A solid grasp of budgets, wage controls, planning and KPIs

What’s on offer:

• Very competitive salary
• PRSA pension scheme and healthcare after qualifying period
• Complimentary meals and barista-style coffee on duty
• Long-term career opportunities within the wider group

This role is based on-site in Dublin and involves early, late and weekend shifts.

We can only consider candidates with full, unrestricted permission to live and work in the EU. UK passport holders are also welcome to apply.
