Job description

Executive Chef | Gastropub | Manchester-by-the-Sea, MA


Salary: $92,000 – $96,000 per year, plus quarterly performance bonus


A beloved gastropub in Manchester-by-the-Sea, MA, is looking for an experienced Executive Chef to lead its kitchen. Built on warm hospitality, scratch cooking, and community connection, this concept has earned a loyal following through elevated comfort food and locally sourced ingredients. This is a rare opportunity for a seasoned culinary leader to take full creative ownership of a kitchen and leave a lasting mark on a respected dining destination.


What You Will Do


As Executive Chef, you'll oversee all back-of-house operations and serve as the creative and operational anchor of the culinary team. Specifically, you will:


  • Develop and execute an elevated gastropub menu using fresh, seasonal ingredients
  • Lead daily kitchen operations and stay hands-on during service
  • Collaborate with ownership to refine the restaurant's culinary vision
  • Establish and maintain recipes, standards, and kitchen procedures
  • Recruit, train, and develop a high-performing back-of-house team
  • Manage food and labor costs, inventory, purchasing, and vendor relationships
  • Uphold high standards for food quality, presentation, sanitation, and safety
  • Build a positive, accountable kitchen culture rooted in consistency


What We Are Looking For


The ideal candidate brings both culinary creativity and operational discipline. Specifically, we're looking for someone with:


  • A minimum of 3 years of Executive Chef experience in a quality-driven, chef-led environment
  • Demonstrated gastropub or scratch-kitchen background
  • A stable employment history reflecting commitment and professional growth
  • Strong financial acumen, including food and labor cost management
  • A systems-oriented approach to leadership, with a focus on consistency and accountability
  • Culinary training or equivalent professional experience (preferred)
  • Ties to the Manchester-by-the-Sea area or surrounding North Shore community (strongly preferred)


The right fit delivers excellent food consistently, builds a strong team, communicates clearly, and takes ownership of both the guest experience and the business behind it.


What Is On Offer


  • Salary of $92,000 – $96,000, depending on experience
  • Quarterly performance-based bonus tied to food and labor costs
  • Health and dental insurance
  • Paid time off
  • Significant creative freedom over the culinary direction
  • The opportunity to lead and grow with an expanding hospitality group


How to Apply


Qualified candidates are encouraged to submit their resume for confidential consideration. This search is being conducted with discretion, and all inquiries will be handled professionally.
