Job description

Position Overview

Are you passionate about great food, good vibes, and fresh mountain air? Join the Mt. Hood Meadows Culinary Services team as a Mazot Lead Team Member and bring your hospitality and leadership skills to one of the most unique dining experiences on the mountain. Perched slopeside, the Mazot is a lively outdoor cafe where skiers and riders fuel up and unwind, and we’re looking for a hands‑on leader who can help make every visit memorable.

As the Mazot Lead, you’ll help keep daily operations running smoothly, from taking guest orders and preparing food and beverages to coordinating team assignments, training new team members, and maintaining consistent service standards. You’ll also help manage inventory and ordering, coordinate deliveries, support safety procedures, and take care of the outdoor seating area through snow removal and daily setup and breakdown. Working closely with the manager, you’ll help the team stay organized, adapt to changing conditions, and deliver great hospitality in all kinds of mountain weather.

This is a full‑time, seasonal opportunity for someone who enjoys a fast‑paced environment, takes initiative, and can balance great guest service with the behind‑the‑scenes details that keep an operation running.
