Head Chef

What you’ll do…

• Lead a large, dynamic kitchen team in one of the most exciting restaurants in Oslo.
• Drive innovation and create a culture of menu development.
• Have a firm grip on the costs of the restaurant kitchen, from labour through to always striving to find efficient solutions whilst maintaining the quality and integrity of the menu.
• Both guest and team experience will be at the heart of all you do. You’ll lead your team by example, keeping them involved and motivated; helping them feel empowered and supported, confident in providing top Hox experiences for our guests and comfortable turning to you with questions.

What we’re looking for…

• Individuals. You’re looking for a place where you can be you; no clones in chef whites here.
• Passion for hospitality – whether that’s a drink, a meal, an event or a bed for the night.
• You’re all about having a positive impact on the people you interact with, leaving them with a memorable experience.
• You’re not precious. We leave our egos at the door and help get things done.
• You’re up for doing things differently and trying (almost) everything once.
• If we got stuck in a lift together, we’d have a good time and share a few laughs.
• You want to be part of a team that works hard, supports each other, and has fun along the way.
• 2+ years’ experience in a similar Head Chef role in a busy, bustling environment with freshness and provenance of ingredients as a key priority.
• Proven track record managing large kitchen teams across multiple outlets and kitchens.
• A true passion for creativity whilst maintaining the integrity of our brand standards through the dishes on the menu.
• Managerial skills to achieve budgeted KPI’s in labour and COS%.
