Director of Night Operations - Gibbons Whistler, BC

Whistler, BC, CA

Salary Range: $90,000.00 To $150,000.00 Annually

Who We Are

At Gibbons Whistler, we’re all about Making People Happy. Since 1979, we have been the backbone of Whistler hospitality, bringing people together through unforgettable experiences.

Everything we do is rooted in our core values: Encourage Trust, Have Fun, Show Kindness, Lead With Purpose, and Commit to Excellence.

The Opportunity

We’re looking for a Director of Night Operations to lead the strategy, performance and people behind Gibbons’ nightlife portfolio.

This is a senior, multi-venue leadership role for someone who knows how to make great nights happen — and knows that great nightlife takes more than a busy dance floor. You’ll lead venue leaders, drive operational standards, shape programming, improve guest experience and own commercial performance across our nightlife businesses.

You’ll work closely with General Managers, Entertainment Managers, AGMs and Captains, while partnering with our Revenue, Offering, Pricing, Marketing and central teams to turn strategy into exceptional execution.

We’re looking for a hands-on hospitality leader with strong commercial instincts, a passion for nightlife and entertainment, and the ability to develop high-performing leaders. You’ll be comfortable jumping between P&Ls; and the dance floor, coaching a GM in the afternoon and making sure the operation is firing on a Saturday night.

If you thrive in a fast-paced environment, know how to lead through peak periods and want to play a major role in shaping Whistler’s nightlife scene, this could be your next adventure.
