Executive Chef | Boston, MA

A growing Boston restaurant group is looking for an accomplished and hands-on Executive Chef to lead the culinary program for one of our restaurants.


We currently operate two well-loved neighborhood establishments and are excited to continue building a company known for great food, genuine hospitality, and a strong team culture.


We’re looking for a Chef who is equally comfortable leading a team, managing the business, and working the line. This is not a clipboard position — we want a leader who is in the kitchen, sets the standard, and inspires the team through their presence.


What We Offer

  • Company-sponsored health insurance
  • Paid time off
  • Performance-based bonus
  • Education stipend
  • Opportunities for career growth

What We’re Looking For

  • 2+ years of experience in an Executive Chef or comparable culinary leadership role
  • Strong leadership and communication skills
  • A positive, can-do attitude
  • Passion for great food and hospitality
  • A hands-on leader who enjoys developing people and being part of the action

What You’ll Do

  • Take full ownership of the restaurant’s culinary operations and P&L
  • Hire, train, mentor, and develop a talented kitchen team
  • Create a positive, accountable, and collaborative kitchen culture
  • Work shoulder-to-shoulder with the team during service — no clipboard chefs
  • Maintain the highest standards of food quality, consistency, and presentation
  • Oversee purchasing, inventory, food costs, labor, and kitchen operations
  • Develop and maintain recipes, systems, and culinary standards
  • Partner with the restaurant leadership team to deliver an exceptional guest experience
