We are seeking a talented and visionary Executive Chef to lead the culinary program at a prestigious, internationally renowned campus that caters to business leaders, foundations, and civic influencers. This is an extraordinary opportunity to craft elevated cuisine in a refined environment that blends daily service with impactful private events.

About the Role:

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

A significant portion of this role centers around executing sophisticated, high-touch events. The ideal candidate must bring a strong background in luxury banquets, executive-level entertaining, and elevated event execution, with the ability to deliver polished culinary experiences for discerning guests.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Lead, inspire, and manage all kitchen operations and culinary staff
  • Design seasonal menus for breakfast, daily service, and special events
  • Execute high-level private events, corporate banquets, receptions, and VIP experiences with precision
  • Oversee upscale event production from planning through execution, ensuring seamless delivery and elevated presentation
  • 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, luxury hospitality, or event-driven environment
  • Must possess a strong background leading high-end events, executive functions, and elevated banquet operations
  • Demonstrated success executing polished culinary experiences for VIP guests and high-profile clientele
  • Strong background in both a la carte and banquet production
  • Experience overseeing breakfast service along with refined all-day culinary operations
  • Creative, organized, and hands-on with a commitment to culinary excellence
  • Flexible availability based on operational and event needs
  • Excellent leadership, communication, and team development skills

Why Join Us:

  • $95K–$100K base salary plus a lucrative 20% performance bonus
  • Comprehensive health benefits package
  • 401(k) program
  • Exceptional quality of life with a more structured service schedule than traditional hospitality environments
  • Lead a culinary program serving a mission-driven, elite clientele
  • Work alongside a supportive leadership team in a highly respected environment
  • Long-term career growth and stability

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.
