Senior Manager of Marketing-U.S.

Hawksmoor, New York, NY, United States


About Hawksmoor & the Opportunity
Hawksmoor began 20 years ago when two childhood friends set out to open a restaurant in London serving the best steak they could find, alongside great cocktails and genuinely warm hospitality. Since then, we have grown into one of the most respected restaurant groups in the UK and Ireland. Despite that growth, we remain a founder-led business, with a strong sense of who we are and how we do things. We were recently named the 2nd Best Steakhouse Group in the World for the second year running and are proud to be known not just for our food, but for the way we make people feel when they visit us.

In the US, we currently have restaurants in New York and Chicago, with Boston opening in September 2026. Each market is at a different stage of its development, from a well-established restaurant in New York, to a growing presence in Chicago, through to the launch of Boston. As Senior Marketing Manager, you will report directly to the VP Marketing US and work closely with restaurant teams across all locations, as well as the global marketing team in London. You will have the opportunity to learn from a highly experienced team while shaping how Hawksmoor grows in the US.

This is a versatile, hands-on role combining brand building with commercial delivery, with a strong focus on growing awareness and customer demand for both our a la carte offering and private dining and events.
