We are a rapidly growing, chef‑driven catering and meal‑production company serving corporate clients, high‑level athletes, school districts, and aviation partners. We are seeking an Executive Chef who can lead a high‑volume kitchen with precision, integrity, and heart, someone who is as committed to operational excellence as they are to beautiful, thoughtful food. We are committed to producing clean, food that is part of the solution.

This is a leadership role for someone who thrives in scaling systems, developing people, and delivering consistent, impeccable quality at volume.

(Your leadership must embody and model all seven; they are the heartbeat of our kitchen.)

You operate from a place of calm problem‑solving. You anticipate issues, improve systems, and keep production moving smoothly.

You build a collaborative, supportive, and communicative kitchen culture where every team member feels respected and valued.

You care deeply about food flavor, technique, plating standards, quality, and macro accuracy. Excellence matters to you.

You see food as service. You take pride in feeding communities, partners, and guests with intention and care.

You model honesty, reliability, transparency, and high standards. You never cut corners ever.

You maintain and enforce a clean, safe, high‑functioning culinary environment rooted in respect and professionalism.

You lead with humility. You give feedback clearly and kindly and you welcome feedback in return.

The Executive Chef oversees all culinary operations, menu execution, production systems, food safety, and kitchen leadership for a high‑volume environment. You will manage a growing team, streamline workflows, maintain quality standards, and help elevate the next chapter of Fibonacci Food. You work closely with the founder and Operations Manager to seamlessly produce beautiful food that we can all be proud of.
