We’re off to a busy start since opening last month, and with continued momentum and expansion ahead, our team is searching for the right person to step into a key leadership role within our restaurant group.

As we continue to grow, we’re currently seeking an Operating Partner to help lead day-to-day operations, develop strong teams, and deliver the high-energy guest experience our restaurants are known for.

Wood & Iron Gameday has grown across the Richmond region since opening in 2017. Known for its house-made elevated bar food and fresh-squeezed cocktails, Wood & Iron delivers a lively atmosphere that’s perfect for watching the big game or gathering with friends any day of the week.

Recently opening in Arlington, Virginia, we are continuing to focus on quality ingredients, hospitality, and an electric game day experience for any occasion.

This isn’t just another management role. It’s an opportunity to lead from the front, help drive the success of the restaurant, and grow alongside a brand that continues to expand across the region.

What We’re Looking For

The ideal candidate is a natural leader with a strong hospitality background who thrives in a fast-paced environment and is motivated by results.

Key qualifications include:

  • Hospitality or restaurant management experience
  • A hands-on leadership style with the ability to motivate and develop staff
  • Experience managing scheduling, inventory, and financial performance; strong operational and organizational skills.
  • Ability to thrive in a high-energy, fast-paced environment
  • Excellent communication skills
  • Proficiency in reading and writing English
  • A driven, solutions-focused mindset
  • A passion for hospitality and team development

What We Offer

We believe great leadership deserves great support. Our Operating Partner role includes a competitive compensation package designed to reward performance and long-term commitment.

Benefits include:

  • Salary negotiable based on experience
  • Profit sharing opportunities
  • Healthcare benefits
  • 401(k) program
  • Paid time off (PTO)

This role is ideal for hospitality professionals looking to take the next step for their career while helping lead a growing restaurant concept.
