Mondrian Abu Dhabi is preparing to make its mark, and we’re looking for an experienced EAM F&B to lead and shape the culinary experiences at our hotel. As the EAM F&B, you will be the driving force behind the entire food and beverage vision at Mondrian Abu Dhabi. Reporting directly to the General Manager, you will lead the strategic direction, concept execution, and operational excellence of all F&B outlets and experiences, playing a central role in the hotel’s identity and success. This is a senior executive position entrusted with full ownership of the F&B division — from pre-opening through to steady-state operations — and one that demands bold leadership, creativity, and precision. As the EAM F&B, you will play a crucial role in the pre-opening phase, overseeing the creation and delivery of innovative, exceptional food and beverage offerings. From managing dining outlets to curating world-class experiences, your leadership will drive the success of our F&B operations.

Ensure outlets open on time, within budget, and to brand standards — ready to deliver immersive, high-impact experiences from day one.
Operational Oversight
Oversee all restaurants, bars, in-room dining, events, and banqueting operations with a clear focus on service quality, guest engagement, and revenue generation.
Drive a performance-based culture through hands-on leadership, consistent coaching, and operational discipline.
Financial Stewardship
Set and monitor budgets, forecasts, and P&L performance across the division.
Optimize profitability through strategic menu engineering, cost control, and revenue management.
Continuously evaluate performance metrics and market dynamics to refine pricing, positioning, and offering.

Build a vibrant, forward-thinking culture that embraces diversity, collaboration, and Mondrian’s design-led identity.
Develop future leaders within the team through active mentoring and succession planning.

Use guest feedback, social listening, and competitor insight to constantly evolve and innovate.
This role requires a visionary leader with an eye for innovation and a passion for delivering exceptional guest experiences in the world of food and beverage.
