Ensure compliance with food safety, sanitation, and workplace safety standards.

Collaborate with the Executive Chef to identify opportunities for process improvement, efficiency, and consistency.

Strong experience as a Sous Chef, Senior Sous Chef, Executive Sous Chef, Chef de Cuisine, or similar culinary leadership role.
Proven experience in Peruvian cuisine or a strong, demonstrable understanding of Peruvian flavors, ingredients, and culinary standards.
Experience in high-volume, high-end, upscale, or fine dining restaurant environments.
