As Executive Chef, you will be responsible for all culinary activities across several points of sale as well as the banqueting department within an establishment renowned for the quality of its services and the exacting standards of its clientele. A true conductor of the kitchens, you will be the guarantor of the development of the culinary offer, the quality of execution, customer satisfaction, and the economic performance of your department. Leading your brigade, you will organise, supervise and unite your teams around a culture of excellence and self-improvement. Proactive, you will actively participate in the evolution of menus, the development of new concepts, and the implementation of distinctive culinary experiences in line with the establishment's identity. In regular contact with customers, partners and suppliers, you will directly contribute to the gastronomic reputation of the house while ensuring compliance with quality standards, H.A.C.C.P. norms, and optimising costs and margins.

With a solid initial training in cooking, your career has led you to hold the position of Executive Chef or Sous Executive Chef for several years in high-end or luxury hotel establishments. Used to working in demanding environments and managing significant volumes of activity, you master both the operational and financial aspects related to managing a kitchen department. Passionate about your profession, you have a genuine sensitivity for gastronomy, new culinary trends and innovation. Recognised as a natural leader, you know how to develop your collaborators, create a positive dynamic within your teams and support them towards ambitious goals. Equipped with excellent organisational and interpersonal skills, you are also comfortable with common IT tools and performance indicator management. Fluency in French is essential, while good knowledge of English will be a definite advantage for this role.

We offer you the opportunity to pursue your passion by taking the reins of an experienced and committed brigade within an establishment enjoying an excellent reputation in the French-speaking market. You will have the chance to leave your mark on the gastronomic offer, develop your ideas and creativity while actively participating in future development projects. The diversity of activities, the autonomy offered, the quality of the facilities and the conditions proposed make this position a particularly stimulating challenge for a professional wishing to combine operational presence, management and culinary vision.
