New Day Executive Search

Executive Chef

A distinctive upscale boutique hotel is seeking an accomplished Executive Chef to lead a diverse, multi-outlet culinary operation. This is an opportunity for a chef who wants more than simply executing someone else's playbook. You will have the autonomy to shape the culinary vision, develop menus, elevate the guest experience, build strong teams, and put your own stamp on the property.

The Executive Chef will oversee multiple culinary experiences, including upscale dining, lounge and café operations, in-room dining, weddings, banquets, catering, and special events.

What We're Looking For

5+ years of Executive Chef experience in an upscale, luxury, boutique, resort, or full-service hotel
Proven leadership across multiple culinary outlets
Strong banquet, wedding, and catering experience
Scratch-cooking and upscale restaurant background
Creative menu development and seasonal innovation
Strong leadership and development of Sous Chefs and culinary teams
Hands-on knowledge of food cost, labor, purchasing, inventory, and menu engineering
Ability to balance creativity with consistency, profitability, and operational discipline
Italian culinary experience is a plus

The right chef is both a culinary leader and a business operator — someone who enjoys creating exceptional food while developing people, protecting standards, and owning the numbers.

Compensation & Benefits

$100,000–$130,000 base salary
Annual bonus opportunity
Medical, Dental & Vision
401(k) with company match
PTO and paid holidays
Hotel and restaurant discounts
Additional employer-paid and voluntary benefits

If you are looking for an Executive Chef role where you can create, lead, and leave your mark on an entire culinary program, we would like to hear from you.
