Executive Chef at Private Listing
Job Description
We’re looking for a Head Chef who’s excited to help build something from the ground up — from developing operations to building a kitchen team and setting the tone for day one.
You do not need previous pizza experience — what matters most is leadership, organization, a passion for great food, and the drive to build an amazing team and culture.
What You’ll Do
Lead all kitchen operations during pre-opening, opening, and ongoing service
Work with ownership on recipes, procedures, and kitchen systems
Hire, train, and mentor a strong BOH team
Create a positive, consistent, and respectful kitchen culture
Set daily standards around prep, sanitation, consistency, and execution
Manage ordering, inventory, vendor relationships, and food cost
Ensure the kitchen is organized, efficient, and ready for growth
Maintain high-quality food while balancing speed and volume
Collaborate on menu development (pizza experience not required — we’ll learn together)
Strong leadership skills and the ability to inspire a team
A hands-on operator who isn’t afraid to jump in and solve problems
Someone who loves building systems and dialing in consistency
Excitement to learn pizza
Excellent communication and training ability
Positive attitude — no ego, no drama, all team
Experience running a kitchen (Sous Chef, CDC, or current Head Chef level)
Comfort with opening processes, or eagerness to learn them
Ability to maintain high standards in a fast-paced environment
Competitive salary + performance-based incentives
Opportunity to help shape a new brand from day one
Creative input in menu development and operational systems
A respectful, supportive workplace built around teamwork
Growth opportunities as we expand
Paid time off and benefits (customize as needed)
A chef who wants to build something, not just run someone else’s kitchen
A leader who loves coaching, developing, and elevating their team
Someone excited by the challenge and opportunity of an opening
A chef who enjoys pizza, bread, dough, or learning new skills
A culture-builder who believes kitchens run best with positivity and accountability
