AI overview

Lead and scale Dorsia's global support operations, optimizing workflows while establishing new operational standards for member and restaurant interactions.

About Us

Dorsia is at the forefront of hospitality-tech innovation, redefining how the world gains access to the most in-demand restaurants, events, and experiences. By fusing cutting-edge technology with the art of luxury hospitality, we empower our members to secure impossible-to-get reservations while providing operators with unprecedented levels of control, visibility, and revenue optimization. 

As a fast-growing startup backed by over $50M from top-tier investors including Index Ventures, along with strategic industry partners such as Major Food Group (Carbone, Torrisi, etc.), Groot Hospitality (Casadonna, Papi Steak, etc.), and Gracious Hospitality (COTE, Coqodaq, etc.), we are rapidly expanding our footprint and reshaping the global hospitality landscape with proven expertise. We’re adding exceptional talent to drive our next phase of growth, and that’s where you come in.

About the Role

We’re looking for a high-impact Head of CX & Operations to lead and scale Dorsia’s global support operations. You’ll own the member and restaurant experience end-to-end, managing a distributed team and building the infrastructure that ensures seamless, high-touch service at scale. This is a player-coach role that blends strategic architecture and hands-on leadership – setting standards, solving complex service issues, and partnering cross-functionally to reduce friction across the Dorsia ecosystem.

The ideal candidate brings strong operations expertise, a customer-centric mindset, and a bias toward systems, automation, and continuous improvement.

What You’ll Do

  • Build a World-Class Ops Strategy: Develop and lead the operations strategy for a complex supply–demand platform by building scalable processes and frameworks that support Dorsia’s growth across new markets and verticals.

  • Lead End-to-End Ops Enablement: Make operations smarter, faster, more consistent, and more scalable by analyzing and optimizing existing operational workflows.

  • Own the Member Experience Playbook - Partner with our Membership team to define and evolve the standards for member and restaurant interactions—tone, resolution paths, escalation protocols, and more.

  • Lead Global Support - Manage our Hospitality Analysts team, including offshore operations in the Philippines, with a strong hospitality-first mindset.

  • Be a Player-Coach - Jump in on key member or restaurant issues when needed, while building up the team’s training, quality, and performance frameworks.

  • Workforce & Capacity Planning - Forecast volume, schedule shifts across US, EU, and APAC, and ensure 24/7 coverage through effective workforce management.

  • Design Internal Tools - Build and maintain workflows in Retool, Intercom, Airtable, Zapier, and Notion. Continuously streamline operations through automation.

  • Partner Cross-Functionally - Work with Marketing, Business, Product, and Engineering to identify high-volume support issues and help eliminate them by productizing the solutions.

  • Leverage AI - Drive experimentation and implementation of AI tools to automate repetitive tasks and scale service quality without scaling headcount.

  • Measure & Improve - Set and manage SLAs, CSAT/NPS, ticket deflection, and other KPIs. Constantly raise the bar on performance and efficiency.

Workplace Philosophy at Dorsia

At Dorsia, we believe that culture eats strategy. The best ideas in the world mean nothing without the right people around the table and the right chemistry between them. We are, unapologetically, a people-first organization. 

In-Person Matters

We’re creating once-in-a-lifetime experiences for the most discerning audience in the world. That doesn’t happen over Zoom. It happens through collisions: a spark across a desk, a kitchen-side conversation that unlocks a partnership, the energy of ideas felt, not typed. That’s why in-office culture is non-negotiable at Dorsia. 

Who We Hire

We don’t subscribe to check-the-box hiring. We hire for merit and mindset, which naturally creates a team with varied backgrounds. What unites us isn’t demographics, it’s a shared vision: to build the social operating system for the cultural vanguard.

Lifestyle Hours

We’re not a 9-to-5 company. Our lifestyle mirrors our members. Early flights, after-work events, and late-night sprints when the work demands it. But we love what we do, and we definitely love a good party.

High Performance Culture

Working at Dorsia isn’t for everyone—and that’s the point. Our culture is designed for builders, not passengers. We move fast, set ambitious standards, and expect people to rise to them. If you have the talent and the drive, this will be a ride to remember.

A Final Word

We’re building something special. It will take long hours and relentless effort. It’s not for everyone. For those with the metabolism, you’ll create something that changes how culture is lived. And that’s the kind of work worth your life’s energy.

Dorsia is a members-only platform with access to coveted reservations at the most in-demand restaurants in New York & The Hamptons, London, Miami, Los Angeles, San Francisco, the South of France, and Dubai.

Unlike existing dining reservation systems, Dorsia leverages a unique supply and demand pricing model to offer hard-to-book reservations for a guaranteed minimum spend.
