Company Overview

Windows Catering is Washington, DC's premier luxury off-premise catering company, renowned for its sophisticated events, exceptional service, and award-winning culinary team. We specialize in producing high-end experiences that demand precision, creativity, and professionalism at every level.

As our company continues to grow, we are seeking an experienced Senior/Executive Sous Chef to join our culinary leadership team. This is a unique opportunity to work alongside an accomplished Executive Chef while helping lead one of the region's most respected catering operations.

Unlike many executive culinary positions, this role is primarily focused on daytime production and leadership, offering an exceptional work-life balance with only limited evening and weekend commitments throughout the year for select VIP events and major productions.

Job Summary

Windows Catering is seeking a Senior/Executive Sous Chef with exceptional culinary skills and leadership experience to oversee daytime kitchen production, lead client tastings, and support the execution of high-profile events.

This individual must bring fine dining standards, strong organizational skills, and a collaborative mindset to support our Executive Chef and broader culinary team. We are looking for a polished and passionate culinary professional with experience in luxury catering, fine dining, hotels, private clubs, or large-scale event operations.

This role is ideal for someone who thrives in a fast-paced, high-volume environment and is passionate about delivering culinary excellence from preparation through presentation.

Oversee daily daytime production operations, ensuring timely and precise preparation of all culinary components
Lead client tastings in coordination with sales and executive chef teams, presenting food with professionalism and confidence
Execute VIP off-premise events as needed, managing on-site culinary operations and maintaining service standards
Collaborate with the Executive Chef on menu development, seasonal offerings, and culinary innovation
Uphold cleanliness, organization, and food safety protocols in accordance with health department and company standards
Assist with ordering, inventory control, and coordination with pastry, pantry, and hot food teams
Mentor and develop culinary staff while ensuring consistent quality and execution throughout production
Monitor labor efficiency, food costs, and production schedules in support of operational goals
Accurately document production, support post-event assessments, and ensure compliance with company procedures
Participate in hiring, training, coaching, and performance management of culinary team members

Qualifications

Graduate of a recognized culinary institution preferred
5+ years of progressive culinary leadership experience
Experience in luxury catering, fine dining restaurants, luxury hotels, private clubs, or elite event operations
Demonstrated excellence in modern cooking techniques, plating, and large-scale production
Strong communication skills and a polished, professional presence for client interaction
Proven ability to lead teams in a fast-paced environment while maintaining exceptional standards
Strong organizational, planning, and time management skills
Ability to lead under pressure with exceptional attention to detail
Flexibility to support occasional evening and weekend VIP events throughout the year

Compensation & Benefits

Competitive Base Salary: $80,000–$100,000, based on experience
Yearly Performance Bonus Program
Medical, Dental, and Vision Insurance
401(k) Retirement Plan with Company Match
Paid Time Off and Paid Holidays

Average 50-hour work weeks

Why Join Windows Catering?

This is a rare opportunity to join one of the most respected culinary teams in the Mid-Atlantic. You'll work alongside a talented Executive Chef and hospitality professionals, create extraordinary experiences for sophisticated clientele, and enjoy a leadership role that offers significantly more daytime scheduling than traditional restaurant, hotel, or catering operations.

If you are passionate about culinary excellence, team leadership, and creating unforgettable guest experiences, we encourage you to apply.
