We are looking for a ASSISTANT RESTAURANT MANAGER for the brand-new, stunning JÄNKÄ RESORT in Ylläs.
Jänkä Resort will open for the Christmas season of 2025.

Located in the middle of untouched nature in Ylläs, Jänkä Resort offers guests a unique opportunity to reconnect with nature in a new way.
Ylläs is situated Lapland, in the most Northern part of Finland. It is a year-round travel destination, combining the tranquility of nature with the services of a ski resort.
At Jänkä Resort, guests are treated to a premium-level experience where every encounter is unhurried and heartfelt.
The "Jänkä mindset" stands for authenticity, slowing down, and being truly present.
Do you embody the Jänkä mindset and want to become a meaningful part of our future story?
 

At Jänkä Resort, work is more than just a job – it’s about creating experiences, cherishing moments, and surprising guests with thoughtful details.
As an Assistant Restaurant Manager, you will be responsible, together with the Restaurant Operations Manager, for the restaurant’s daily operations. You will also contribute to developing and planning new concepts and lead the restaurant team as a supervisor. In addition, you will work hands-on with guests, and a sommelier background is considered a strong asset in this role.

The position starts in October 2025 and is a permanent, year-round employment opportunity.
 

You are the right fit for us if you:

• Have a passion for customer service and genuinely want to provide warm, high-quality encounters for every guest

• Have strong and extensive experience in supervisory roles within the restaurant industry; a sommelier background is considered an advantage

• Possess solid food and beverage knowledge and naturally excel at upselling

• Take pride in your work and thrive as part of a team even under pressure and during busy times

• Have a keen eye for detail and are eager to grow into a top-level resort service professional

• You speak fluent English; additional language skills such as Finnish, German, French, Spanish, or Chinese are considered as a benefit

• You hold valid Finnish alcohol service- and hygiene certificates (we will help to get these, if you do not have those yet)
   

We are the right fit for you if you are looking for:

• A unique opportunity to be part of opening a new luxury destination

• High-quality facilities, a modern working environment and a supportive team

• A competitive salary and the possibility of accommodation

• Comprehensive onboarding and the chance to develop into a top professional in the field
