Director of Outlets

Full-Time

Lead the Flavor, Energy, and Experience of Scottsdale’s Most Magnetic Resort

At The Scott Resort & Spa, hospitality isn’t a transaction—it’s a feeling. It’s the first perfectly crafted cocktail at The Canal Club, the warmth of a poolside welcome beneath the Arizona sun, and the kind of memorable meal that keeps guests talking long after they leave Old Town Scottsdale.

We’re looking for an accomplished, hands-on Food & Beverage leader to bring vision, precision, and unmistakable personality to every dining experience across the resort. This is an opportunity to lead a talented team, shape innovative programming, elevate service, and drive the business behind one of Scottsdale’s most distinctive resort destinations.

From the vibrant energy of The Canal Club and lobby bar to poolside service and in-room dining, you’ll set the tone for exceptional food, drinks, service, and guest connection. If you thrive on the floor, know how to turn great ideas into profitable experiences, and believe a team performs best when it feels inspired, supported, and seen, this could be your next great move.

What You’ll Lead

• Oversee the success, service standards, financial performance, and day-to-day operations of all resort Food & Beverage outlets, including The Canal Club, lobby bar, pool operations, and in-room dining.
• Recruit, interview, select, train, coach, and develop exceptional Food & Beverage leaders and associates.
• Create a culture where associates feel energized to deliver warm, polished, and genuinely memorable service.
• Maintain a strong, visible presence on the floor and in kitchen areas, ensuring every guest experience reflects The Scott’s elevated standards.
• Lead pre-shift and departmental meetings, communicating service essentials, house counts, menu updates, guest opportunities, and operational priorities.
• Build leadership schedules that ensure thoughtful coverage, strong floor support, and seamless execution during every shift.
• Resolve guest and associate concerns with confidence, care, urgency, and a commitment to exceeding expectations.

Turn Great Hospitality Into Great Business

Scottsdale is a city that knows how to enjoy life—from world-class dining and art in Old Town to sun-soaked pool days and unforgettable desert evenings. You’ll help ensure The Scott Resort & Spa remains part of that conversation by creating compelling Food & Beverage experiences that drive both guest loyalty and revenue.

• Increase revenue through inspired training, thoughtful upselling, competitive pricing, strategic marketing, and fresh, inventive programming.
• Develop and implement cost-saving and profit-enhancing initiatives while protecting quality, creativity, and the guest experience.
• Conduct competitive research, identify local and industry trends, and recommend opportunities that keep our outlets relevant and exciting.
• Partner with the Marketing team on promotions, campaigns, support materials, public relations opportunities, and special events.
• Support the broader Food & Beverage operation through promotions, special projects, and leadership coverage as business needs require.
• Use systems and reporting tools to forecast revenue, manage financial performance, prepare correspondence, and ensure accurate guest charges.
• Maintain current, accurate POS information and support the proper use and maintenance of all outlet equipment.

Partner With Culinary to Create Something Special

Great service and great food belong together. You’ll work closely with the Executive Chef, Chef de Cuisine, Sous Chefs, and Food & Beverage leadership to deliver an experience that feels effortless to guests—and expertly orchestrated behind the scenes.

• Collaborate on menu development, associate training, product knowledge, and service execution.
• Support communication and education around specialty cocktail offerings, wine lists, and seasonal beverage programs.
• Monitor food quality through temperature verification, product appearance, taste, preparation methods, and presentation.
