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:

• An excellent package
• 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.
