Executive Recruiter @ Skybridge Luxury & Associates | Executive Chef | Hospitality Professional

Step into one of Manhattan’s most anticipated culinary environments—an elevated, design‑forward hotel in the heart of the city—where dining is treated as both craft and performance. This is an opportunity for an Executive Sous Chef who thrives in high‑energy, high‑expectation settings and wants to help shape a culinary identity that blends New York sophistication with globally inspired technique.

The Role

The Executive Sous Chef serves as the operational and creative backbone of a multi‑outlet culinary program, supporting the Executive Chef in leading a dynamic team across a signature restaurant, lobby bar, rooftop venue, and curated private events. This role is ideal for a chef who loves the rhythm of a busy urban hotel, excels at mentoring talent, and brings a modern, ingredient‑driven approach to menu development.

You will be entrusted with driving consistency, elevating standards, and ensuring that every plate—whether a tasting‑menu dish or a high‑volume banquet entrée—reflects the property’s commitment to excellence. This is a hands‑on leadership role where your presence in the kitchen matters, your palate shapes the guest experience, and your operational discipline keeps the engine running smoothly.

What You’ll Lead

• Daily oversight of culinary operations across multiple outlets, ensuring flawless execution and a cohesive culinary identity
• Collaborative menu development with the Executive Chef, contributing ideas rooted in seasonality, technique, and global influence
• Leadership and mentorship of a diverse culinary team, fostering growth, accountability, and a culture of pride
• Quality control, recipe standardization, and training to maintain consistency at scale
• Partnership with F&B leadership to elevate service flow, guest satisfaction, and revenue opportunities
• Stewardship of kitchen financials, including labor management, food cost, and inventory discipline
• Active involvement in pre‑service tastings, VIP experiences, and special events that showcase the property’s culinary point of view

Who Thrives Here

This environment is built for a chef who is energized by creativity, precision, and the pulse of New York City. Someone who sees leadership as both an art and a responsibility. Someone who can balance the demands of a luxury hotel with the soul of a chef‑driven restaurant. Someone who wants to leave a mark on a property that values innovation, collaboration, and culinary storytelling.

What

Makes This Opportunity Special.

You’re not stepping into a static kitchen—you’re joining a team that is actively shaping a new culinary destination in Manhattan. You’ll have the freedom to influence menus, elevate standards, and help define the guest experience from the ground up. This is the kind of role that accelerates careers, builds reputations, and places you at the center of one of the most competitive dining markets in the world.
