Food + Beverage Manager

The Heathman is Portland's magnet for artistic minds. Since 1927, the Heathman's unique atmosphere of cultured comfort has served as a muse for artists, creators, collaborators, thinkers, dreamers and doers. With its prime placement in Portland's cultural district, the Heathman is distinguished by reputation as a discerning retreat for the global citizen, and a haven for creative inspiration.

Heathman Hotel is managed by Aparium Hotels. Aparium was founded in 2011 to bring lifestyle service and accommodations to underserved yet distinct and important cities while maintaining and celebrating the unadulterated character of each. Each hotel in our portfolio is an individual, representing the People, Place, and Character of its community. Driven by the belief that the poetics of their surroundings should fuel all hospitality experiences, Aparium was born with an intense focus on unearthing the unforgettable moments unique to every city. Since its founding, Aparium has grown into a new kind of hotel brand, one that ventures off the beaten path, both geographically and philosophically. We are a sophisticated hotel brand known for our ability to combine the business acumen of large hospitality companies with the charm of boutique hotels, bringing the disparate forces together in bustling, growing markets.

You are excited and passionate about being a leader in the three-ring circus that is a restaurant. You pride yourself in controlling chaos; and are adept at making each guest in your restaurant feel like they are the only person in the room. While your mission is to provide an unmatched experience for your guests, you value the work and feedback of your associates as well. You enjoy and excel in the fast-paced and often high-pressure environment to execute what is needed in exceeding our guest's expectations and demonstrating the Aparium difference. You are attentive, courteous, efficient and motivate others by inspiring confidence, respect, enthusiasm, and collaboration.

You are highly organized and can work in an often-unpredictable environment to meet deadlines, all while maintaining a positive and professional demeanor.

The Food and Beverage Manager reports directly to the Director of Food & Beverage Operations. It is critical the person in this position is tactical and strategic; if you only prefer to "see the forest" and not "plant the trees," then this is not a role for you. All leaders of Aparium are required to get down and dirty to unearth existing needs and personally ensure what needs to be fixed is repaired. We are a young company that is in hyper-growth, so having the ability to be a soldier is as critical as being a general.

As the Food and Beverage Manager, you will lead the Restaurant, Cafe and In-Room Dining Service team to execute the daily breakfast, lunch, brunch and dinner services in our restaurants. The Food and Beverage Manager wears many different hats throughout the day - leading by example while spending the much of your day engaging with your associates and guests before, during, and after services. We encourage our leaders to inspire and challenge each other to be their best. A large degree of self-motivation is needed to drive your department, while collaborating with the Culinary Team to execute your restaurant concept at a high level. As a leader within Aparium Hotel Group, you will work with a phenomenal group of peers who insist that you are collaborative, humble, experienced, and open-minded - no egos are allowed.

The Food and Beverage Manager will maintain and execute the Standards of Service for the Restaurant, assuring success for the guest experience.
