Full Job Description

Executive Chef – Opening Fall 2026

MARTIYA | South Minneapolis
Lead the Culinary Vision of Minneapolis' Newest Upscale Somali & East African Restaurant

Martiya is seeking an exceptional Executive Chef to lead the opening and ongoing culinary operations of an ambitious new full-service restaurant opening in South Minneapolis in September 2026.

About Martiya

Martiya will celebrate the flavors, traditions, and hospitality of Somalia and East Africa while creating a modern dining experience that reflects the energy and diversity of Minneapolis. We are building a team that values excellence, curiosity, inclusivity, and genuine hospitality.

If you're excited about creating something meaningful, leading a talented team, and helping launch one of the most anticipated restaurant openings in the Twin Cities, we'd love to hear from you.

A Commitment to Community

Martiya is more than a restaurant—we aspire to be a gathering place that celebrates the strength, resilience, and hospitality of Minneapolis' Somali and East African communities. We believe food has the power to connect people across cultures, generations, and experiences.

As Executive Chef, you will play a vital role in helping us build meaningful relationships with our community, local producers, artisans, and cultural leaders. We are seeking a chef who understands that great restaurants are not only measured by the food they serve, but by the impact they have on the people around them.

We value authenticity, cultural respect, mentorship, and creating opportunities for others to grow. The ideal candidate will embrace the responsibility of honoring East African culinary traditions while helping introduce them to a broader audience through thoughtful, elevated dining experiences.

At Martiya, community is not a marketing strategy—it is a core value that guides how we cook, serve, lead, and grow.

· Strong leadership and team-building skills
