CENTURY GOLF PARTNERS MANAGEMENT

Executive ChefPosition Description

POSITION SUMMARY

We’re looking for an Executive Chef who loves creating memorable experiences just as much as crafting incredible food. This role is more than running a kitchen—it’s about setting the culinary tone of the Club, building relationships with members, and leading a passionate team that takes pride in hospitality.

Whether it’s an elevated à la carte dinner, a themed wine pairing event, a large-scale golf outing, or a beautifully executed banquet, this is a place where your creativity, leadership, and culinary voice truly matter.

Private club experience is a plus—but not required. If you understand hospitality, enjoy engaging with guests, and want a platform to showcase your talent, we want to meet you.


WHAT YOU WILL DO
As Executive Chef, you’ll lead all culinary operations while shaping an inviting, member-focused dining experience.
  • Be the creative force behind menus for à la carte dining, wine dinners, golf outings, banquets, and special events
  • Deliver consistently high-quality food that members are excited to talk about—and come back for
  • Build, mentor, and inspire a kitchen team through hands-on leadership and positive culture
  • Collaborate closely with Food & Beverage leadership to elevate the overall member experience
  • Bring fresh ideas while balancing creativity with smart food cost and labor management
  • Maintain high standards for presentation, flavor, and consistency across all dining venues
  • Engage with members in the dining room—your presence matters here
LEADERSHIP AND OPERATIONS


  • Recruit, train, and develop a strong culinary team
  • Oversee recipe development, plating standards, and kitchen systems
  • Manage food costs, purchasing, inventory, and budgeting responsibly
  • Comfortable using hospitality systems and technology, with a solid understanding of industry trends, performance metrics, and financial reporting—able to read the numbers, manage profit and loss, and make smart, revenue-driven decisions that support both the kitchen and the overall club experience
  • Ensure compliance with food safety, sanitation, and health regulations
  • Support wine dinners, tastings, and menu pairings in collaboration with beverage leadership
  • Play an active role in special events, seasonal programming, and club traditions

WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR


  • A passionate culinary leader with a hospitality-first mindset
  • Experience with à la carte dining, banquets, and high-volume events (golf outings a big plus)
  • Wine dinner and pairing experience strongly preferred
  • Strong organizational and people-leadership skills
  • Creative menu development within budgeted food costs
  • Knowledge of plating, presentation, and modern dining trends
  • Comfortable balancing creativity with financial responsibility

BONUS POINTS FOR (Not Required But a Plus)

  • Private club or resort experience
  • ACF Certification
  • Ohio Manager Certification in Food Protection and/or Person-in-Charge (PIC) certification, or ability to obtain upon hire

THE ENVIRONMENT



  • Engaged private club membership
  • Creative freedom and leadership opportunity
  • Team-oriented, collaborative culture
  • Flexible schedule and long hours sometimes required


THE DESCRIPTION MAY NOT BE ALL-INCLUSIVE AND EMPLOYEES ARE EXPECTED TO PERFORM ALL OTHER DUTIES AS ASSIGNED AND DIRECTED BY MANAGEMENT. POSITION DESCRIPTIONS AND DUTIES MAY BE MODIFIED WHENEVER DEEMED APPROPRIATE BY MANAGEMENT.
