Established in 2005, Cooper's Hawk has grown into a premier destination known for its unique combination of a scratch kitchen, full-service restaurant, bar, retail tasting room, and vibrant Wine Club program. Our commitment to delivering a Napa-style tasting experience is reflected in every facet of our operation, from our handcrafted menu items designed to perfectly complement our award-winning wines to our engaging events and exclusive membership benefits for Wine Club members. Our mission is to create memorable moments for our guests through exceptional hospitality, unparalleled wine experiences, and innovative culinary offerings inspired by global flavors, including the recent expansion with Piccolo Buco by Cooper's Hawk, which brings the vibrant tastes of Rome to our patrons.

Your responsibilities will include managing schedules, implementing inventory procedures, supporting financial reporting, and using various management tools such as POS systems and scheduling software to optimize operational efficiency. You will be directly involved in hiring, onboarding, and training team members to uphold the highest standards of hospitality and product knowledge. Mentoring restaurant and kitchen managers, ensuring compliance with safety and policy guidelines, and driving team engagement through recognition and rewards programs are also key components of this role.

At Cooper's Hawk, we value genuine leadership that promotes collaboration, open communication, and a personalized guest experience. You will be expected to amplify the guest journey by encouraging your team to educate and engage Wine Club members and guests, thereby strengthening our community connection and enhancing our brand reputation. With a focus on continuous improvement and career development, Cooper's Hawk supports its team members through comprehensive benefits, wellness programs, and opportunities for growth within the company. Join us and contribute to a company dedicated to delivering extraordinary wine and dining experiences while fostering a positive and inclusive workplace culture.
