Full Job Description

EXECUTIVE CHEF-HILLTOP SKANEATELES

Perched at the gateway to the Village of Skaneateles, in the heart of New York’s Finger Lakes region, Hilltop Skaneateles is a vibrant destination for fine food and fun. Taking its name from the former Hilltop Restaurant and Cedar House Bowling Center & Lounge, which once occupied the site, the newly reimagined venue offers a gathering place for a new generation.

Within the space, you’ll find Hilltop Coffee, a buzzy modern café with specialty coffee and grab-and-go breakfast items; Hilltop Social, a lively recreation hall with games and a tap room focused on New York producers; Hilltop Hotel, offering convenient accommodations in one of the area's most picturesque towns; and Sprig, an elevated restaurant featuring globally inspired cuisine and a thoughtfully curated wine program.

Position Summary

The Executive Chef will provide culinary leadership for Hilltop’s food and beverage operations. This individual will oversee menu development, kitchen operations, team leadership, food quality, cost controls, purchasing, inventory management, and vendor relationships while creating memorable dining experiences that reflect the unique character of each concept.

This role requires a hands-on leader who thrives in a multi-outlet environment, inspires high-performing teams, and balances creativity with operational excellence.

· Design scalable food programs that support Hilltop Social events and hotel guests.

· Partner with front-of-house teams to deliver exceptional guest experiences.

Qualifications

· Proven success managing multi-outlet food and beverage operations.

· Strong culinary creativity with experience across diverse cuisine styles.

· Demonstrated expertise in menu engineering, food cost management, and labor controls.
