About Tim Ma Hospitality

We believe that hospitality is a radical act. Founded by Chef Tim Ma, our group is built on the idea that great food should be accessible, meaningful, and deeply rooted in the communities we serve. From Michelin-recognized fine dining to high-volume Chinese-American takeout, our portfolio is diverse, but our mission is singular: to build restaurants that have a soul.

We aren't a corporate machine; we are a collection of chefs, creators, and hospitality professionals who care about the 'why' as much as the 'what.' We’re a DC-based team with national recognition, but we stay grounded by investing in our people and building spaces where our team can grow, lead, and build a career they are proud of.

The Role

The Beverage Director is the curator of the liquid experience. You are responsible for ensuring our beverage program—from high-end coffee to craft cocktails and wine—complements the soul of our food. You are an educator who inspires the staff to talk about drinks with passion, and a manager who ensures the bar is a profitable, clean, and organized environment.
