Full Job Description

Executive Chef – R&D and Production

Are you an Exec Chef or Exec Sous at a luxury hotel or Michelin-starred restaurant group looking to get your life back—without sacrificing your culinary standards?

Our client is a highly established, premier catering and events company seeking an Executive Chef to lead their R&D and Production.

Reporting to the Culinary Director, this is a rare opportunity to produce fine-dining caliber cuisine at scale, all while enjoying a predictable daytime schedule, Sundays off, and all public holidays at home. If you thrive in a high-volume environment but have the palate, plating instincts, and pedigree of a five-star chef, our client wants you to help set their creative ceiling.

Why You’ll Love Working With Our Client

Unmatched Work-Life Balance: Normal daytime hours. Maximum 55-hour weeks during peak season, dropping to a relaxed 30–35 hours during the summer off-season.
Guaranteed Time Off: Sundays off, and all public holidays off.
Stability: Join a highly respected, established company with exceptionally low turnover and a strong, supportive team already in place.

Compensation & Benefits

Base Salary: $110,000 – $160,000 (negotiable, commensurate with experience)
Bonus: 10% annual performance bonus
Relocation: Assistance available for the right candidate
Time Off: Generous paid vacation time
Health: Full medical and dental coverage
Retirement: 401(k) company retirement plan

What You Will Do

This role blends high-level kitchen execution with a client-facing sales cycle. You will be instrumental in designing bespoke menus and leading their large-scale production.

High-Volume Production: Support the Culinary Director across all kitchen production for luxury events ranging from 50 to 1,000+ guests, flawlessly coordinating mise en place and logistics.
Menu R&D: Lead the research and development of new dishes, seasonal refinements, and bespoke menus within a New American framework.
Client Tastings: Step out of the kitchen to meet prospective clients, leading tastings and menu presentations in their dedicated on-site tasting kitchen.
Team Leadership: Manage, mentor, and develop a culinary brigade of 60–70 staff during peak season, upholding strict training and accountability standards.
Quality Control & Sourcing: Maintain rigorous benchmarks for ingredient sourcing, food safety, and plating consistency. Cultivate relationships with specialty purveyors to source premium ingredients.

Who We Are Looking For

Please note: Due to the caliber of our client's events, only candidates with a proven track record in 5-Star Hotels or Michelin-starred environments will be considered.

Pedigree: Current or recent experience as an Executive Chef, Executive Sous Chef, or Chef de Cuisine at a luxury hotel (e.g., Ritz-Carlton, Four Seasons, Auberge) or a Michelin-starred restaurant.
Scale: Direct, verifiable experience overseeing large-scale banquet or catering production (events of 500+ guests). Banquet Chef or Catering Chef backgrounds are highly regarded.
Tenure: A highly stable employment history with strong, verifiable professional references.
Education: A culinary degree from an accredited institution is required.
Leadership & Polish: Demonstrated ability to manage a large brigade with clear communication and professionalism, coupled with the fine-dining sensibility needed to impress ultra-high-net-worth clients.

Pay: $11,000.00 - $160,000.00 per year

Benefits:
