Project Manager - Food & Beverage Development

Wynn Resorts•Las Vegas, NV

About The Position

Wynn Resorts is seeking a highly organized and process-driven Project Manager to support the Senior Vice President of Food & Beverage Development by leading project management and procurement coordination across the F&B Development portfolio. This role serves as the operational backbone of the department — partnering with resort operations teams, purchasing, internal departments, and external vendors to maintain compendiums, drive timelines, manage processes, and deliver timely, frequent updates to all stakeholders. The Project Manager ensures our operators have the tools, information, and support they need to successfully elevate F&B programming across Wynn Las Vegas, Encore, and Wynn Al Marjan Island. The ideal candidate is a strong team player and an equally strong self-starter who thrives with limited direct oversight, anticipates what is needed, and consistently moves work forward.

Requirements

Minimum of three years of progressive experience in project management, hospitality operations, procurement, or F&B development; luxury hospitality experience preferred.
Demonstrated ability to manage multiple concurrent projects with competing deadlines while maintaining attention to detail.
Strong organizational and process-orientation; experienced in building and maintaining trackers, compendiums, and documentation systems.
Excellent written and verbal communication skills; able to translate complex updates into clear, actionable stakeholder communications.
Strong team player and equally strong self-starter who thrives with limited direct oversight; takes initiative, anticipates needs, and consistently drives work to completion.
Excellent problem-solving and critical-thinking abilities.
Working knowledge of procurement processes, purchase order workflows, and vendor management.
Proficiency in Microsoft Office (Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook) required; experience with project management or procurement platforms a plus.
Ability to work effectively under pressure in a fast-paced, deadline-driven environment.
Willingness to travel as needed, including internationally; travel is expected to be periodic rather than extensive.
Must be able to obtain and maintain any licensing or active work cards required, at present or in the future, for this position at all times.
