Chef's Hall

This is not a desk job. This is a leadership role for someone who thrives in the energy of a busy room, loves great food and bars, and knows how to bring people together to create unforgettable guest experiences.

Chef’s Hall is a fast-paced, multi-vendor food hall powered by Compass Group Canada. We’re looking for an Assistant General Manager who leads from the front, sets the tone on the floor, and brings equal parts operational discipline and genuine hospitality.

In accordance with provincial legislation and our commitment to transparent hiring practices, the compensation range for this position is provided. Final compensation will be determined based on qualifications, experience, and internal equity. Canadian work experience is not required. Please note that artificial intelligence tools are utilized in the applicant screening process.

This is a posting for an existing job vacancy.

Pay range is $65,000 to $75,000.
