Director of Food & Beverage (Pre-Opening Luxury Hotel | Seville)
We are seeking an exceptional Director of Food & Beverage to lead the culinary and service vision of a landmark luxury hotel opening in Seville. This is not a standard operational role—it is a rare opportunity to shape from the ground up the entire F&B; ecosystem of a high-end, internationally positioned property.
We are looking for a leader who brings a dual perspective: hands-on culinary expertise as a trained Chef, combined with proven experience in senior Food & Beverage leadership within luxury hospitality environments. Someone who understands excellence not only from a strategic and commercial standpoint, but also from the kitchen pass.
Tareas
The Role
You will be responsible for designing, building, and leading the full F&B; operation, including restaurants, bars, banqueting, and in-room dining. Working closely with the pre-opening team, you will define concepts, recruit and develop teams, establish standards, and ensure a seamless guest experience aligned with the highest luxury benchmarks.
This is a pre-opening environment—fast-paced, highly collaborative, and requiring clarity of vision, resilience, and operational precision.

Proven experience as Director of Food & Beverage or senior F&B; leadership in luxury hotels

Background as a professional Chef (essential), with a deep understanding of kitchen operations

Strong experience in pre-opening projects is highly valued

Ability to translate culinary creativity into commercially successful concepts

A distinctive F&B; identity for a flagship luxury property in Seville

A high-performing, multidisciplinary culinary and service team

Why This Role
Because you won’t just be managing operations—you will be defining what excellence tastes like in one of Europe’s most culturally rich cities. And yes, there will be pressure. But also impact, visibility, and the kind of legacy projects that define careers.
If you are a chef-turned-F&B; leader who knows that true hospitality is equal parts discipline and artistry, this is your stage.
