This is an extraordinary opportunity to craft elevated cuisine in a refined environment that blends weekday service with impactful weekend events.

About the Role:

This role oversees all culinary operations, including weekday lunch service (Monday through Friday), bar menu execution (with service until 7:00 PM), and a full calendar of private events and banquets on weekends. As Executive Chef, you'll drive culinary innovation, ensure consistent excellence, and lead a passionate team committed to delivering an exceptional guest experience.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Design seasonal menus for both daily service and special events
  • Execute high-level private events, corporate banquets, and receptions with precision
  • Maintain exceptional standards for food quality, presentation, and sanitation
  • Manage inventory, food cost, and labor efficiency while upholding profitability
  • Collaborate with senior leadership, front-of-house managers, and event teams to ensure seamless service
  • Foster a professional, positive, and productive kitchen culture

What We’re Looking For:

  • Proven experience as an Executive Chef or Senior Sous in an upscale dining or event-driven environment
  • Strong background in both a la carte and high-volume banquet production
  • Creative, organized, and hands-on with a commitment to culinary excellence
  • Flexible availability, including weekends for event execution
  • Excellent leadership, communication, and team development skills

Why Join Us:

  • Lead a culinary program that serves a mission-driven, elite clientele
  • Enjoy structured weekday hours with a dynamic and rewarding weekend event calendar
  • Work with a supportive leadership team in a highly respected environment
  • Competitive salary, benefits, and long-term professional growth

This is more than just a kitchen—it’s a stage for your creativity and leadership. If you're ready to elevate your culinary career in a setting that values excellence and impact, we’d love to hear from you.
