About The Opportunity

Harper Associates has been selected by Union Square Hospitality Group, a nationally recognized, mission-driven company founded by Danny Meyer in New York, to recruit a Director of Operations (Director of Food and Beverage) in Downtown Detroit. USHG is opening Pine Hall at Hudson’s Detroit in Spring 2026 and will manage food and beverage operations at The Detroit EDITION Hotel opening in 2027. This is a rare opportunity to join an organization with a deeply rooted culture of excellence, where hospitality isn't just a service — it's a philosophy.

Reporting to senior leadership, you will oversee the Management and Culinary team driving operational performance, financial results, and an exceptional guest experience. This role is ideal for a seasoned hospitality leader who thrives at the intersection of people, culture, and business results.

What You'll Do

• Lead and inspire the full leadership team and staff to deliver consistent, memorable guest experiences
• Drive financial performance across all revenue and cost centers, with a focus on sustainable growth
• Partner closely with the Executive Chef and kitchen leadership to align on goals, menus, and execution
• Analyze guest feedback across all channels and identify actionable opportunities to strengthen loyalty and guest satisfaction
• Build and develop a high-performing team through mentorship, clear goal-setting, and structured career pathways
• Champion diversity, inclusion, and belonging at every level of the organization
• Establish and maintain operational infrastructure — roles, systems, processes — that scales with the business
• Collaborate with home office departments to execute company-wide initiatives, training programs, and operational rollouts
• Balance day-to-day operations with strategic thinking to support both short- and long-term business success
• Build and maintain relationships with all stakeholders in the Detroit market

What We're Looking For

• 10+ years of progressive leadership experience in restaurant and hospitality management, including GM or equivalent roles
• Proven track record in full-service, upscale, 5-star or Michelin fine dining environments
• Strong financial acumen — P&L ownership, performance metrics, and strategic planning
• Familiarity with the Detroit hospitality market is a strong plus
• Experience with new restaurant openings or launch environments preferred
• Proficiency in restaurant management systems and operational best practices
• Bachelor's degree preferred, though not required — results and experience speak loudest

What's In It for You

• Excellent six figure base salary ($140-$155K base) and incentive program, paid quarterly
• Comprehensive medical, dental, and vision coverage + FSA options
• Generous PTO + paid parental leave
• Matched 401(k) plan
• Dining credit and significant dining discount across a premier portfolio of restaurants
• Employee assistance programs and access to mental health and wellness services
• A genuine culture of mentorship, growth, and collaboration
