Baker

Birley Bakery is the Upper East Side's best-kept secret. It's the New York sister to our celebrated London shop, known for beautifully crafted pastries, viennoiserie, and breads made only from the highest-quality ingredients. Nothing leaves our kitchen unless it meets our standards.

Our newly built, state-of-the-art commissary kitchen in the Bronx is where it all begins. From here, our team produces the pastries, breads, desserts, and fine chocolates served at Birley Bakery and Maxime's Club in Manhattan.


We are looking for a dedicated Baker to work in our production site located at the Bronx, with shifts starting from 3:00 AM daily. Key responsibilities include mise en place, mixing dough, shaping dough for proofing and baking.


This is a hands-on role ideal for an experienced baker who enjoys early morning shifts and takes pride in producing high-quality, consistent baked goods.

What You'll Do

• Prepare and bake a variety of breads, pastries, viennoiserie, and other bakery products according to recipes and production schedules.
• Scale, mix, shape, proof, and bake products while maintaining consistency and quality standards.
• Monitor product quality throughout production and ensure all items meet presentation and taste expectations.
• Follow food safety, sanitation, and HACCP standards at all times.
• Accurately measure ingredients and manage inventory to minimize waste.
• Assist with daily production planning and preparation for service and retail operations.
• Operate and maintain bakery equipment safely and efficiently.
• Organize and maintain a clean, safe, and well-stocked workstation.
• Properly store ingredients and finished products, ensuring freshness and quality.
• Support the broader commissary and bakery team with production, packaging, and special projects as needed.

What We're Looking For

• Experience as a Baker in a bakery, pastry shop, restaurant, hotel, or commissary kitchen.
• Strong knowledge of baking techniques, ingredients, fermentation, and production processes.
• Ability to work efficiently in a fast-paced, high-volume environment.
• Excellent attention to detail and commitment to consistency.
• Strong time management and organizational skills.
• Food Handler Certification (or willingness to obtain).
• Commitment to cleanliness, food safety, and quality standards.
• Full-time availability, including early mornings, weekends, and holidays as needed.
• Ability to stand for extended periods and occasionally lift, carry, push, or pull up to 50 pounds; bend, reach, kneel, and work in a physically demanding environment.

Why This Role Stands Out

• Craft exceptional products: Work with high-quality ingredients to create bread, pastries, and baked goods that reflect the standards of a luxury hospitality brand.
• Be part of a growing operation: Join a talented team producing for Birley Bakery, Maxime's, and other exciting concepts across the business.
• Brand-new facility: Work from a newly built commissary kitchen equipped with modern equipment and streamlined production spaces.
• Develop your craft: Learn from experienced culinary professionals and grow your skills within a dynamic bakery operation.
• Easy commute: Just a 5-minute walk from the Longwood Av station (6 train), and conveniently located off the Bruckner Expressway with direct access from I-95.
• Stable schedule: Enjoy consistent hours and the opportunity to build a long-term career with a growing organization.

Pay & Benefits: Well Above Industry Standard

Our pay and benefits package are substantially more competitive than other kitchens in the city:

• $22-25/hour.
• Medical, dental, vision, and life insurance.
• Generous paid time off.
• 401(k) with company match.
• Pre-tax commuter benefits.
• Wellness and Employee Assistance Programs.
• Employee perks and discounts.
• $2,000 employee referral bonus.
