Job Description

At Ama, hospitality is more than a service—it’s a daily ritual of connection, intention, and joy. Inspired by the Northern Italian lifestyle, we embody slower living, whole ingredients, and immersive spaces that shift throughout the day. From an energizing caffè to an aperitivo garden and a warm, festive dining room, Ama invites guests into a world that honors beauty, sustainability, and presence.

We are looking for an Assistant General Manager to join our leadership team and help guide Ama through its next chapter of growth. This role is ideal for someone who combines operational skill with a heart-forward, guest-driven mindset. You’re passionate about restaurants as places of well-being and expression, and you bring a steady hand to both service and strategy.

A leader and mentor who inspires through presence and professionalism

Comfortable in both high-touch guest interactions and behind-the-scenes systems

Aligned with Ama’s values of sustainability, quality, and community care

Curious about the future of food, wellness, and regenerative hospitality

Eager to grow with a company that’s shaping something intentional and fresh
