Executive Chef

Private Inn

Create moments. Craft legacy.

Set within a discreet boutique inn exclusively reserved for top executives, this property blends the warmth of a private retreat with the polish of a luxury hotel. As Executive Chef, you'll be the creative force behind a culinary program designed to surprise, comfort, and quietly impress — from beautiful breakfasts to elegant private dinners and refined, wellness-forward snacks. Every detail matters. Every meal tells a story.

About the Role:

This is a role for a culinary leader who thrives in intimate, high-touch settings. With a focus on personalization, seasonality, and understated elegance, you’ll craft each menu and beverage offering with care — from a rotating made-to-order breakfast to afternoon light fare and the occasional multi-course seated dinner or cocktail reception. Your work will help define the soul of the guest experience.

Responsibilities:

Curate a daily made-to-order breakfast menu centered on seasonality, wellness, and thoughtful presentation

Prepare light afternoon offerings, curated pantry snacks, and elegant evening plates

Design and execute bespoke dinners and private events with creative, elevated menus

Oversee all back-of-house operations including prep, inventory, cleanliness, food safety, and kitchen organization

Collaborate with the front-of-house team to deliver seamless and exceptional service

Work in partnership with the General Manager to ensure a cohesive and elevated guest journey

Build and maintain strong vendor partnerships focused on premium sourcing and sustainability

Manage purchasing, kitchen scheduling, and budgets with a focus on quality, food safety, and efficiency

A refined culinary point of view with a deep appreciation for subtlety, balance, and seasonality

A passion for creating bespoke culinary moments that reflect thought, care, and place

A collaborative and humble leadership style with a commitment to mentoring a small team

Strong kitchen operations expertise, including cleanliness, organization, and food safety

Familiarity with dietary accommodations and wellness-forward cuisine

Familiarity with the standards of luxury hospitality brands such as Relais & Châteaux or Auberge

Benefits

Compensation & Benefits:
