Park City Mountain is seeking a senior resort leader to shape one of the most visible and high-impact parts of the guest experience at the largest ski resort in the US. As the strategic business leader for Food & Beverage, this role is accountable for the performance, growth, and long-term success of 11 outlets, two warehouses, and banquet operations across a dynamic, world-class mountain resort.

The operation spans high-volume quick-service outlets, full-service restaurants, après and event spaces.

This leader will set the vision and drive execution across a highly seasonal business where guest expectations, weather, visitation patterns, employee experience, mountain logistics, safety, and financial performance intersect every day. As a member of the resort’s senior leadership team, this person will help shape the broader Park City Mountain experience—not simply the Food & Beverage function—while partnering with central Food & Beverage and cross-functional resort teams to deliver exceptional guest experiences, strong employee engagement, community engagement, disciplined financial results, and operational excellence.

• Set clear service, quality, speed, and presentation standards that bring the resort brand to life across every outlet and guest touchpoint.
• Build operating models that flex with weather, demand, and mountain volume while preserving genuine hospitality.
• Use guest insights, frontline observation, and cross-functional partnerships to remove friction and continuously improve the dining experience.

Relentless Executor and Results Driver: Turns strategy into action with urgency, discipline, and clear accountability—delivering measurable results.

• Translate vision into practical plans, clear priorities, and disciplined execution.
• Use data, operating rhythms, and service standards to identify gaps and accelerate performance.
• Create clarity, remove barriers, and hold leaders accountable for results.

Enterprise Thinker: Operates as a senior resort leader first—balancing Food & Beverage priorities with the broader needs of the guest experience, employee experience, operations, and financial performance.

• Make decisions through a whole-resort lens, not a single-department view.
• Create alignment and followership through visible leadership, clear communication, and shared commitment to resort success.

Builder of High-Performing Teams and Culture: Attracts, develops, and retains strong leaders who create a culture of accountability, inclusion, engagement, and pride in delivering an exceptional resort experience.

• Develop future…
