Beyond culinary excellence, this role requires a visible and engaging leader who enjoys interacting with guests, building client relationships, and creating memorable dining experiences.

This role offers significant visibility with senior leadership at CoStar, including support for executive gatherings and events hosted by the CEO. The Executive Chef should be comfortable operating in a client-facing environment, engaging with guests, and delivering elevated hospitality experiences.

Complete and utilize production worksheets and waste logs to support operational efficiency. Taste completed meals and monitor quality throughout service. Maintain a hands-on leadership presence in both kitchen and guest-facing environments. Partner closely with client leadership and onsite teams to deliver an exceptional hospitality experience. Support executive functions, VIP receptions, and CEO-hosted events, including occasional evening engagements. Train, coach, and develop culinary team members on food preparation, equipment usage, food safety, sanitation, and company standards. Establish and maintain cleaning, maintenance, and sanitation schedules for kitchen equipment, storage areas, and workspaces. Manage food and non-food inventories while maintaining financial and operational objectives. Monitor food safety, sanitation, maintenance, and compliance with all federal, state, and local regulations. Utilize inventory controls, waste reduction strategies, and production planning tools to drive operational excellence. Participate in client engagement initiatives, satisfaction programs, department meetings, and professional development opportunities. What We're Looking For Associate degree in Culinary Arts or an equivalent combination of education and experience. Progressive culinary leadership experience in corporate dining, restaurants, hospitality, hotels, or catering environments. Experience leading high-volume and complex foodservice operations. Strong catering and special event execution experience. Institutional or batch cooking experience is a plus. Demonstrated success developing and leading culinary teams. Hands-on chef experience with a commitment to food quality and innovation. Knowledge of food trends, menu planning, cost controls, sanitation, and production management.
