Chef de Cuisine

The CDC is the onsite culinary leader, driving the strategic vision and operational excellence across our diverse portfolio, which includes our full‑service catering division (Concorde), the casual all‑day cafe (Constellation), and the elegant à‑la‑carte wine bar (Altitude). This pivotal role is accountable for innovative menu development, meticulous event‑specific planning, and comprehensive multi‑outlet kitchen leadership. The Chef must set and uphold the highest standards for food quality, presentation, and consistency across all formats, ensuring execution aligns with the company’s vision and exceeds all guest expectations.

• Control food costs, manage inventory, and oversee ordering procedures for catered events
• Ensure cleanliness, organization, and sanitation standards are met in all catering prep and production areas
• Troubleshoot kitchen and event execution issues quickly and effectively
• Stay current on catering and culinary trends, incorporating innovative techniques when appropriate.

• 5+ years of experience in high‑volume culinary leadership, with a focus on both corporate and high‑end catering
• Culinary degree or equivalent formal culinary training preferred
• Strong leadership, organizational, and team development skills
• Proven ability to multitask across multiple events and service formats
