Senior PR & Communications Manager | RDG

RDG introduces its first restaurant‑concept brand, MILA, which offers guests a culinary journey through exquisite Mediterr Asian cuisine, opened in January 2020 in Miami Beach. Combining genuine hospitality, fine dining, and a sophisticated nightlife atmosphere, MILA has quickly become a premier destination within Miami's upscale social scene.

At RDG, we are a collective of individuals dedicated to excellence and the art of sensory engagement. We embrace the rhythms of life and are motivated by the thrill of adventure. Our core principles focus on providing customers with immersive experiences, organic design, and a refined culinary journey.

The Senior PR & Communications Manager will lead Riviera Dining Group’s global communications strategy across its portfolio of brands, acting as the central authority on narrative, positioning, and media relations. This role is responsible for defining how RDG is seen, spoken about, and understood externally. It operates at the intersection of brand, culture, and business—ensuring that every communication moment reinforces RDG’s positioning as a leader in luxury hospitality and lifestyle.

The role centralizes PR and communications internally, ensuring that all external partners, collaborators, and contributors operate under a clear, unified, and elevated strategic direction. This is not a coordination role. This is a strategic leadership position responsible for shaping RDG’s external perception and ensuring PR becomes a true lever of brand equity, cultural relevance, and business growth.
