General Manager/Managing Partner at Goodwin Recruiting

A Rare Leadership Opportunity in Denver Dining

We’re looking for an exceptional Managing Partner to bring to life an elevated steakhouse experience in Denver. This is more than a job—it’s a chance to shape and lead a concept from the ground up. From pre-opening strategy to daily operations, you’ll have a seat at the table (literally and figuratively) in building a flagship destination for food, hospitality, and atmosphere.

What You'll Be Doing

• Be the day-to-day heartbeat of the restaurant, managing operations, guest experience, and team leadership
• Partner with ownership to finalize all pre-opening decisions—menu, design, service flow, brand touchpoints
• Hire, train, and mentor a top-tier team of hospitality professionals
• Deliver a consistently unforgettable guest experience that turns first-time diners into regulars
• Oversee all financials: P&L, labor, inventory, ordering, and cost controls
• Serve as the brand ambassador, building a strong presence in the Denver hospitality community
• Drive revenue through events, outreach, and VIP engagement
• Maintain operational excellence in cleanliness, compliance, and execution

What We’re Looking For

• 5+ years of GM experience in upscale or fine dining restaurants
• Confident, polished floor presence with high emotional intelligence
• Experience managing $5M+ operations in a fast-paced setting
• Strong sense of ownership and accountability—someone who leads from the front
• Deep understanding of high-touch service, wine & beverage programs, and team culture
• Strong personal network or ability to build lasting guest relationships
• Willingness to work evenings, weekends, and holidays as the leader of the team

What You’ll Get

• Competitive compensation + performance-based bonus
• Strategic leadership opportunity with long-term growth potential
• Benefits package to be discussed at offer stage

This is a dream role for a service-obsessed leader who wants to leave their mark on Denver’s dining scene. If you’re passionate, driven, and ready to lead with purpose, we want to meet you.
