The Role

The VP of Catering will own the strategy, operations, and P&L for our catering division nationwide.

  • Menu innovation: Partner with cross-functional teams on packaging to evolve the catering menu 
  • Build operations: Partner with Operations & Sourcing for a scalable production, packaging and delivery
  • Lead teams: Hire, develop, and manage catering sales and operations; build a culture of accountability and hospitality
  • Drive sales & partnerships: Develop corporate accounts, event partnerships, and channel relationships (offices, hospitals, universities, wedding/event planners, etc.)
  • Ensure brand consistency: Partner with culinary, marketing, and menu development teams to ensure catering offerings reflect the brand's wellness positioning and taste standards
  • Report to leadership: Provide regular performance reporting and strategic recommendations to the executive team


Requirements

 Qualifications:

  • Bachelor's degree preferred
  • 8+ years in catering, food service, or hospitality leadership, with at least 3+ years in a senior/executive role
  • Proven track record scaling a catering or B2B food/events business, ideally in a multi-unit or multi-market environment

  • Experience building and leading sales and operations teams
