General Manager - MadTree

JOIN MADTREE’S NEWEST LOCATION AS GENERAL MANAGER
Position Summary:

At Mad Tree, General Managers don't just run restaurants — they build communities.

As the founding General Manager of Mad Tree's newest location opening July 2026, you'll own the full P&L for an upscale, nature-immersive dining destination — a concept that marries approachable elegance with Mad Tree's signature warmth.

Every decision you make, every team member you develop, and every guest interaction you model will shape not just this location's success, but Mad Tree's next chapter.

You'll translate company‑wide strategy into location‑specific execution, foster cross‑functional collaboration between kitchen and front‑of‑house, and bring our Connect, Grow, Give a F
