Executive Sous Chef

Singer Drivers Club | Willow Springs Raceway | Mojave Desert, California

ABOUT SINGER DRIVERS CLUB

Singer Drivers Club (SDC) is a world-class private motorsport and lifestyle club at Willow Springs Raceway - the fastest road in the West since 1953. Set deep in the Mojave Desert, SDC hands its members the keys to six legendary circuits, elite driver coaching, concierge-level service, curated food and beverage, and an expansive outdoor pursuits program. This is more than a track. It's a founding-team opportunity to build something rare from the ground up - a club that fuses raw performance, real adventure, and genuine community at a standard set to rival the finest private clubs in the country. For the right person, this is the chance to help write the standard rather than inherit it.

SDC joins a distinguished family of private clubs and communities that includes Yellowstone Club, Moonlight Basin, Spanish Peaks, and Crazy Mountain Ranch - some of the most extraordinary member destinations anywhere. To build a career inside a collection this ambitious is a rare thing: the standard you help set here connects to a much larger world of remarkable places and the people who bring them to life.

THE ROLE

The Executive Sous Chef is the Executive Chef's right hand and the engine of the kitchen. You run the line, hold the standard when the chef is away, and translate the culinary vision into flawless nightly execution.

You'll help build and train the brigade, own day-to-day ordering and food cost, run line checks and station setups, and keep the kitchen moving cleanly through everything from quiet member days to full-throttle events. When the chef is out, the kitchen is yours.

Expect to work every station, jump on the pass when service demands it, and coach cooks in real time. You'll enforce sanitation and safety standards and keep quality tight when the tickets stack up.

This is a private club, so consistency and a personal touch matter. You'll help deliver on member preferences and dietary needs and make sure every plate leaving the pass meets the standard members expect.
