You lead with empathy, set the tone on the floor, and know how to juggle team support, guest satisfaction, and operational excellence all at once. You’re ready to help drive the culture, the numbers, and the experience—and you’re not afraid to get your hands dirty along the way.

Resolve guest concerns with professionalism and care

Represent the B1C and Smuttynose brands with pride and integrity

Be the connector between our food, our beer, and the people who enjoy both

Health, Safety, & Compliance

Ensure health, safety, and cleanliness standards are exceeded—not just met
