Experience managing inventory, purchasing, and vendor relationships with a focus on quality sourcing
Ability to collaborate cross-functionally with front-of-house leadership to deliver a seamless guest experience
Deep knowledge of food safety, sanitation, and operational best practices

Why you’ll love working here:

Opportunity to lead within a modern, chef-driven concept rooted in creativity and culture
Creative input on a menu that blends global influence with refined American technique
Competitive compensation with performance-based bonus potential
Support from an experienced and growth-oriented leadership team
A culture that values craft, evolution, and thoughtful hospitality
Platform to make a meaningful impact on both the culinary direction and guest experience

Required Work Experience:

5–10 years of experience in an Executive Chef or senior culinary leadership role
Background in fine dining or elevated, chef-driven restaurant environments
Proven track record of managing kitchen operations, team performance, and financial results
Experience with menu development, cost controls, and high-level execution standards

Preferred Work Experience:

Experience with live-fire cooking or open-fire techniques
Exposure to globally influenced cuisine, including Asian, Latin, or European techniques
Experience working within multi-unit or growth-oriented restaurant groups
