Job description

About the Role

A family office in Englewood, New Jersey is seeking a dependable and thoughtful Personal Chef to prepare fresh, healthy meals for a private family.


The chef will prepare a light lunch for the principal and dinner for the family, generally five to six days per week. The role is centered on sourcing high-quality ingredients, preparing meals in a newly built professional kitchen in Englewood, and delivering the completed meals to the family’s nearby residence.


The ideal candidate enjoys cooking broadly healthy and varied cuisine, takes pride in using fresh ingredients, and can adapt menus based on the family’s preferences and feedback. We are open to candidates from a range of culinary backgrounds, including experienced private chefs, restaurant or hospitality professionals, and talented chefs seeking to transition into a private-family setting.


This is a contract role with some work from home flexibility.


Key Responsibilities

  • Plan varied, balanced, and health-conscious meals in consultation with the family
  • Prepare a light daily lunch for the principal and dinner for the family
  • Develop menus that reflect the family’s preferences, dietary needs, and feedback
  • Shop frequently for fresh, high-quality produce, proteins, and other ingredients
  • Package and deliver completed meals to the family’s nearby residence
  • Accommodate dietary restrictions, allergies, changing schedules, and special requests
  • Maintain a clean, sanitary, and well-organized kitchen
  • Manage ingredient inventory, minimize waste, and replenish kitchen staples
  • Maintain appropriate food-storage, labeling, and food-safety practices
  • Communicate proactively regarding menus, ingredient availability, schedule changes, and family feedback
  • Occasionally prepare meals for guests, special occasions, or changes in the family’s normal routine


Qualifications

  • Strong cooking and meal-preparation skills
  • Experience with dietary preferences and restrictions, and ensuring high-quality, healthy meals
  • Sound knowledge of fresh ingredients, nutrition-conscious cooking, and proper food handling
  • Experience with menu planning, grocery shopping, and kitchen organization
  • Excellent communication skills to tailor meal plans and adjust recipes based on client feedback
  • Strong organizational and time-management skills
  • Reliable, punctual, self-directed, and attentive to detail
  • Professional communication skills and openness to constructive feedback
  • High degree of discretion, judgment, and respect for the family’s privacy
  • Flexibility to work both in-person and remotely as needed
  • Valid driver’s license, reliable personal transportation, and the ability to transport groceries and prepared meals


Preferred, but Not Required

  • 3+ years of professional culinary experience, with private-chef, private-household, catering, or comparable independent meal-service experience preferred
  • Culinary degree, professional training, or relevant certification
  • Familiarity with high-quality food markets and specialty suppliers in Northern New Jersey or New York City
  • Experience shopping at New York City markets and commuting to Englewood may be particularly useful, although it is not required
