We are seeking an accomplished Executive Chef to lead the culinary vision and day-to-day operations of a premier steakhouse and seafood restaurant. This is an opportunity to join a growing hospitality company that values excellence, collaboration, and long-term career growth. More than just running a kitchen, this role is a true leadership partnership. The Executive Chef will work side-by-side with an experienced General Manager to drive guest satisfaction, develop teams, build culture, and elevate overall restaurant performance. What You'll Do
- Lead all culinary operations while maintaining exceptional standards of quality, consistency, and execution
- Build, mentor, and develop a high-performing BOH team through coaching, accountability, and leadership
- Partner closely with the General Manager to create a seamless guest experience and strong restaurant culture
- Manage food cost, labor, inventory, purchasing, and overall kitchen profitability
- Ensure flawless execution of premium steaks, seafood, seasonal features, and elevated dining experiences
- Establish and maintain operational systems, training programs, recipes, and quality standards
- Drive continuous improvement while balancing creativity, financial performance, and guest satisfaction What We're Looking For
- Proven Executive Chef experience in a high-volume upscale dining, fine dining, steakhouse, or seafood-driven environment
- Experience leading teams in restaurants generating $8M+ in annual sales
- Strong financial acumen with a track record of managing food cost, labor, and profitability
- Passion for leadership, team development, and building a culture people want to be part of
- High standards, strong presence, and the ability to inspire excellence from those around you
- Collaborative mindset and a genuine desire to partner with FOH leadership to achieve shared goals Why This Opportunity Stands Out
- Join a successful and growing restaurant company with long-term career potential
- Work alongside a strong General Manager in a true partnership model
- Lead a respected culinary program centered around premium ingredients and exceptional hospitality
- Influence menu development, systems, culture, and future growth initiatives
- Competitive compensation, benefits, and performance-based incentives If you're looking for more than just another Executive Chef position and want the opportunity to make a lasting impact within a growing organization, we'd love to connect.
