Restaurant Managers

Soprana Personell Norge regularly receives confidential mandates from hotels, restaurant groups, fine dining venues, and destination operators across Scandinavia looking for experienced Restaurant Managers — often before any public search begins. This is not a specific job posting. It's an invitation to register your interest, on a strictly confidential basis, so we can introduce you to the right opportunity when it appears.

The strongest senior restaurant roles in Norway, Sweden, Denmark, and Finland rarely reach public job boards. Being in the right network at the right moment is how transitions at this level actually happen.

Who we work with

We're building relationships with experienced Restaurant Managers — and strong Assistant Restaurant Managers ready for their next step — who bring:

• Solid, demonstrable experience leading front-of-house operations in quality restaurants, hotel restaurants, or destination venues

• A track record of running service to a high standard, leading floor and bar teams, and managing covers, revenue, and guest experience

• Comfort with budgeting, scheduling, supplier relationships, and the operational backbone of a restaurant

• Confidence in international, multi-language environments (English is the working language across most Scandinavian operations)

• Openness to opportunities across Norway, Sweden, Denmark, or Finland — we'll discuss what fits

• EU/EEA citizenship or a valid right to work in the Scandinavian country where the role would be based

How we work

• Strict confidentiality. We never share your CV or identity with anyone — including clients — without your explicit permission. We know what's at stake when you're currently employed.

• Personal introductions. When a client mandate matches your profile, we bring the opportunity to you first and let you decide whether to engage further.

• No obligation. Registering means we're in touch when the right role appears. Nothing more.

• Market intelligence. Happy to share what we see in the Scandinavian senior hospitality market — compensation benchmarks, which operators are growing, where the most interesting roles are emerging.

Compensation

Salary and package for these roles is highly individual — a matter of seniority, scope, and negotiation rather than a fixed band. We discuss specifics on each opportunity, and only share details once a role is matched to your profile.
