Executive Chef — Cecilia, Vancouver WA
Salaried: $85,000 - $100,000 DOE
We’re currently looking for an Executive Chef to lead the back-of-house team at Cecilia. This role is ideal for someone who thrives in a high-volume environment, understands the demands of all-day service, and brings strong leadership, clean systems, and steady execution to the kitchen.  
About NW Hospitality Group
We’re a locally owned restaurant group based in Southwest Washington with three core concepts: Amaro’s Table, Gustav’s, and Cecilia. Across 6 locations, we’ve built a reputation for consistent quality, scratch cooking, and hands-on leadership. Our teams value respect, accountability, and hospitality, both for our guests and each other.  
Whether you’re an experienced Executive Chef or a strong Sous Chef ready for the next step, this is a great opportunity to take the reins of a fast-paced, high-performing restaurant with room to grow.  
Why Work With Us?
At NW Hospitality Group, we’re building restaurants that last—by investing in good people and doing things the right way. We’re not corporate, and we’re not trying to be flashy. We’re hands-on, honest, and committed to running kitchens that are consistent, professional, and proud of the food they put out.
Benefits:
  • Excellent medical, dental and vision insurance.
  • Paid time off
  • Closed on major holidays: 4th of July, Thanksgiving, Christmas Eve and Christmas Day.
  • Leadership development through trainings, meetings and one on ones. 

 All management-level hires will complete a standard background check as part of our hiring process.
