Director of Operations - New Restaurant Openings

Director of Operations

Location: Vancouver, BC
Salary: $140,000–$150,000 + bonus & benefits

About the Opportunity

We’re partnering with a highly respected hospitality group known for an exceptional, diverse portfolio of concepts spanning fine dining and elevated casual. With multiple new restaurant openings planned, the group is seeking a Director of Operations to lead projects from idea to opening day - and to support existing operations between launches.

The Role

As Director of Operations, you’ll be the driving force behind new restaurant launches, working closely with ownership, culinary leadership, design, construction, and operations teams. When not actively opening a new venue, you’ll support existing concepts to ensure consistency, performance, and excellence across the portfolio.

The Ideal Candidate

• Proven new restaurant opening experience (non-negotiable)
• Strong fine dining background, with elevated service and operational standards
• Currently a Director, Multi-Unit GM or Senior GM ready for the next step
• Strong tenure with past employment – have been with current or most recent employment for 1+ year.
• Highly organized, detail-driven, and confident leading complex, fast-moving projects
• Collaborative leader who thrives working directly with ownership
• Comfortable balancing hands-on execution with strategic oversight
