Restaurant Manager

NEW RESTAURANT OPENING!!

Boston is one of the most
beautiful and important cities in the country – rich in history, energy, and
culinary excellence. We've had our eye on it for a while. So, after twenty
years of building Hawksmoor in the UK, Ireland, Chicago, and New York, we've
finally made it to Boston!

In Fort Point, we've found a home that reminds us of where
Hawksmoor began two decades ago – the character, community and creativity.

At 15 Necco Street (Platinum LEED-certified – a natural fit for
our commitment to sustainability and our B-Corp values), we'll have space for
200+ guests, private dining and event spaces, a bar program recognized by the
James Beard Foundation and Tales of the Cocktail, sweeping views across Fort
Point Channel, and an outdoor terrace made for long lunches and celebratory
dinners.

Reporting to the General Manager we're looking for a Restaurant Manager to join our team and support our third US restaurant.
