Position Dish as the go-to partner in the NYC catering and events market.
Craft proposals, lead tastings, and negotiate deals to close business.

A proven track record as a Rainmaker—driving leads, closing new business, and exceeding revenue goals.
Fearlessness in outreach: cold calls, networking, and high-touch follow-up.
Exceptional communication and negotiation skills.
A balance of confidence and kindness—unapologetic drive paired with Heart Hospitality.
Entrepreneurial spirit—you don’t wait for opportunities, you create them.
