Head of Elixirs & Beverage Innovation
Not a head-bartender job. An entrepreneurial beverage operator who turns Elixirs into both Strata's internal beverage laboratory and a standalone B2B business.
Elixirs owns recipe development, batching, costing, specifications and quality standards for every drink in the House — and sells its products outward to hotels, restaurants, villas, bars, beach clubs, caterers and event operators. We are specifically not looking for someone whose ambition is to stand behind a cocktail bar every night. You should think product → recipe → production → margin → customer → recurring sales.

- Develop syrups, infusions, concentrates, mixers and other Elixirs products.
- Convert recipes into precise production and batching SOPs; design pre-batched cocktail systems.
