Full Job Description

Seeking : Culinary Innovation Specialist (K-12/Residential/Corporate Food Service)

Who You Are

You are not just a chef—you are:

A problem solver who can walk into a struggling kitchen and immediately see what's wrong
A coach who can develop people without alienating them
A doer who is just as comfortable on the line as you are training a room
A leader without ego who can influence across all levels

You likely come from:

High-volume foodservice, contract dining, or multi-unit operations
Environments where consistency, cost control, and execution matter

Minimum Qualifications

3–5+ years in large-scale foodservice (K-12, healthcare, or institutional strongly preferred)
Proven ability to train, lead, and influence diverse teams
Strong understanding of food safety, production systems, and kitchen operations
Working knowledge of USDA meal patterns / school nutrition compliance
Willingness to travel up to 75% (this is a field role)
Valid driver's license + reliable transportation
ServSafe Manager Certification (or ability to obtain quickly)

What Separates Top Candidates

You've fixed broken operations before
You can balance culinary creativity with operational reality
You know how to drive participation and customer satisfaction, not just cook food
You've led training that actually changed outcomes
You understand food cost, labor efficiency, and waste control

Compensation & Upside

Competitive base salary (aligned to top regional talent)
Mileage/ travel reimbursement
Full benefits (health, dental, vision, 401k)
Clear path to senior leadership

Culinary Innovation Specialist

Regional Culinary Manager / Corporate Chef

Director of Culinary Operations

VP, Culinary / Operational Excellence

Executive Leadership Track (SVP / COO pathway)

This role gives you exposure to:

Multi-site operational leadership
Menu strategy and financial performance

This role directly impacts:

Student experience
Program participation (and financial performance)
Team capability across an entire region

You won't just run kitchens—you'll elevate them.

Apply If You Want to Be Pushed

If you're looking to:

Stay comfortable this isn't the role
Grow fast, take ownership, and be challenged we want to talk

Reliable vehicle with active registration and insurance
