Vice President, Culinary, Nutrition & Hospitality Experience

Reports to: Chief Executive Officer

Location: Cancún, Quintana Roo, México (on-site, multi-site leadership)

Type: Full-time, executive

About Beond

Beond is a licensed medical retreat in Cancún, México, where world-class clinical care meets the standard of a luxury wellness resort. More than 100 guests a month come to Beond for transformational mental health, recovery, and optimization programs, supported by a team of physicians, critical-care nurses, coaches, and hospitality professionals. Our guests are accustomed to the finest hotels, clinics, and longevity destinations in the world, and they expect Beond to match them.

The Opportunity

As Beond grows into new programs and new locations, we are adding a senior executive to lead and elevate our entire culinary, nutrition, and food and beverage organization. This leader will build on the foundation our current team has established and take it to a world-class, multi-site standard.

At Beond, food is never transactional. It is grounding, relational, and part of the care itself. How a guest is nourished shapes how safe, cared for, and restored they feel. This executive owns that experience end to end: the philosophy, the menus, the kitchens, the service, the people, and the numbers.

This is both a strategic and a hands-on operational role. You will set the vision with the CEO and executive team, and you will also be present in the kitchen and dining room, raising standards day by day. If successful, the role is positioned to expand into broader hospitality leadership across Beond.

What You Will Own

Culinary and nutrition vision

Define Beond's signature culinary and nutrition philosophy, in partnership with our medical and wellness leadership

Design menus that combine nutritional integrity, sensory pleasure, and emotional attunement, adapted to each phase of a guest's program

Create signature dining moments that guests associate unmistakably with Beond

Benchmark against the best luxury resorts, wellness destinations, and longevity clinics, and set the bar above them

Operational excellence across sites

Assess the current organization, define the right structure and roles, and build a strong leadership bench beneath you

Create a calm, high-trust, high-standards kitchen culture that is demanding without being fear-based

Design staffing and schedules that deliver consistent excellence while preventing burnout

Install training programs so every team member understands the why behind the Beond experience, not just the how

Guest experience integration

Partner closely with clinical, guest services, wellness, and operations leaders so nourishment supports the full guest journey

Ensure dining feels unhurried, personal, and appropriate to where each guest is in their program

Personally engage with guests, gather feedback, and turn it into continuous improvement

Who You Are

Proven record running multi-outlet or multi-property F&B; operations to luxury benchmarks (Forbes Travel Guide, LHW, Michelin, or equivalent)

Deep fluency in nutrition-driven cuisine: plant-forward, anti-inflammatory, therapeutic, and allergen-safe cooking at a refined level

Strong operator: P&L; ownership, cost control, procurement, food safety systems, and audit readiness

A leader people want to work for, with a track record of building and retaining strong teams under pressure

Calm, composed,



and clear in high-demand moments; you set the emotional tone for the room

Polished and confident with discerning, high-profile international guests

Fully bilingual in English and Spanish

Culinary degree or equivalent professional training; nutrition credentials a plus

Absolute discretion: you will work around sensitive guest and organizational information every day

How We Work

Beond's values are care, integrity, precision, humility, and service. We expect our leaders to model them daily. This role works across clinical, operations, guest services, and executive teams, and siloed or territorial leadership will not succeed here.

This is a full-time, on-site executive role, typically six days and 48 hours per week, with flexibility for guest and operational needs. Any change to this schedule is agreed with the CEO.

What Success Looks Like (First 12 to 18 Months)

Zero dietary or allergen errors reaching a guest

100% compliance in health and food safety inspections and internal audits

Food and labor costs at or better than agreed targets

Strong team retention, with an internal leadership bench in place

A documented F&B; operating standard ready to replicate at new Beond locations
