Job Summary
EXECUTIVE CHEF – ATLANTA, GA
$90,000–$105,000 + Relocation Assistance
Fast-Track Growth | High Visibility | Leadership Pipeline
This isn’t a role for someone looking to coast. This is for a chef who wants to step up, stand out, and get noticed.
If you’re ready to challenge yourself, make a name for yourself, and position yourself for bigger leadership opportunities—this is your launchpad.
We’re hiring an Executive Chef to support key operations across the Atlanta metro area—stepping into high-impact situations like new openings, leadership transitions, and flagship accounts. You’ll work directly with senior leadership and be groomed for your next big move.
Why This Role Stands Out:
- $90K–$105K salary + relocation assistance
- 5-day work week – no late nights
- Rotating weekend schedule (just 1 weekend/month)
- Direct exposure to senior leadership and high-profile accounts
- Clear path to Executive Chef and multi-unit leadership roles
- A chance to build your reputation in a major market
What You’ll Do:
- Lead culinary operations during openings, transitions, and key assignments
- Step in, stabilize teams, and elevate execution quickly
- Drive food quality, consistency, and cost control
- Uphold food safety and operational standards
- Mentor teams and develop future leaders
What We’re Looking For:
- Proven Executive Chef or senior culinary leadership experience
- Strong business and operational instincts
- A confident, adaptable leader who thrives under pressure
- Willingness to relocate to or live in Atlanta, GA
- Someone hungry for growth—not just another role
- This is more than a job—it’s a career accelerator. If you want visibility, impact, and a real shot at moving up fast, this is where you prove it.
