This is a wonderful opportunity for a Chef who finds meaning in cooking with intention and creating a warm, healthy rhythm within a family's home.

  • Incorporate produce from the property's edible garden into daily cooking
  • Maintain a clean, organized kitchen, including personally handling clean-up after service
  • Support casual weekend hosting, comfortable with both plated and family-style meals
  • Maintain the highest standards of cleanliness, presentation, and discretion at all times
  • Manage the edible garden in partnership with the gardeners and principal. 

Skills & Qualifications

  • Must be authorized to work legally in the United States
  • Must live within a commutable distance to Menlo Park
  • Strong longevity in current and past positions
  • 3-5 years of experience as a private chef in a UHNW home preferred
  • Strong vegetarian and plant-based cooking background, with comfort navigating dietary restrictions
  • Passion for farm-to-table cooking
  • Low-key, grounded personality; highly professional and discreet
  • Comfortable working independently in a home kitchen setting
  • Flexible to occasionally work holidays with advance notice
  • Must successfully complete an in-depth background investigation

Compensation & Benefits

  • $150,000-$175,000+ base salary | depending on experience 
  • Health, dental, and vision plan for employee
  • Retirement plan with match
  • 10 paid vacation days in the first year
  • Paid sick days
  • Paid holidays
  • Discretionary year-end bonus
  • Yearly wage review
