Maayan's is a hospitality group founded by Maayan Adin, elevating hospitality into immersive experiences where guests don't just attend — they create. We are hiring a Head of Operations to scale the business across New York City through new sites and repeatable operating systems, then support expansion into additional markets. This role will report directly to Maayan and will be supported by a strong group of advisors including hospitality industry veterans and exited tech founders.

Responsibilities

• NYC expansion: Build and manage a pipeline for site selection, underwriting, and launch sequencing across NYC; prioritize rapid capacity growth with disciplined unit economics.
• Real estate + deal execution: Lead negotiations for short-form pilots (license/short-term occupancy) and conversions into longer-term agreements; structure favorable commercial terms and protect downside through options, concessions, and operational flexibility.
• Openings + buildouts: Own pre-opening programs end-to-end: scope, budgets, schedules, contractor selection, bid leveling, change orders, punch lists, and operational handoff; coordinate architects, expediters, trades, and production vendors.
• Multi-site operations: Establish SOPs, QA, safety/compliance, materials/inventory flow, staffing models, and day-to-day operating cadence across locations; drive consistency, throughput, and cost control.
• Team leadership: Recruit, train, and manage instructors and site leads; implement performance standards and operating rhythms.
• Scaling playbooks: Build repeatable launch templates (site specs, build standards, vendor SLAs, staffing ramps, opening checklists) and own continuous improvement across the portfolio.

Qualifications

• 2+ years in operations within hospitality, nightlife, experiential, venue operations, or adjacent service businesses.
• Experience coordinating vendors and contractors; comfortable owning schedules, budgets, and execution.
• Demonstrated negotiation capability (leases/pilots, vendor MSAs/SOWs, change orders).
• Operational rigor: ability to implement SOPs, track KPIs, and maintain quality standards at scale.
• High ownership, strong attention to detail, and strong context-switching across parallel workstreams.

Preferred

• NYC commercial real estate familiarity (deal structures, lease clauses, landlord process).
• Event production experience (vendor-heavy execution, guest flow, run-of-show).
• Restaurant or bar operations exposure (helpful, not required).
