Job Description

Four Seasons is a globally renowned luxury hospitality company recognized for its commitment to exceptional guest experiences and distinguished company culture. Powered by a collective of dedicated individuals who strive for excellence, Four Seasons continually elevates the standards of luxury through a genuine and heartfelt approach to service. Their team members worldwide are motivated by a desire to enhance themselves professionally and personally, fostering strong relationships internally and externally. This dynamic creates unmatched experiences for guests, residents, and partners alike, all built on the foundation of treating others with respect and kindness. At Four Seasons, the belief that life is richer when truly connected to people and the world around us underpins everything they do, ensuring that every interaction leaves a lasting impression.

This position is based at Four Seasons Resort Palm Beach, the only Five-Star, Five-Diamond resort on Palm Beach Island. The resort offers a timeless and intimate luxury experience with exclusive access to a private beachfront just steps away from the property. Known for its charming ambiance infused with the warmth and spirit of the iconic island, the resort features a culinary program that stands as one of its defining elements. Inspired by local flavors and global culinary influences, dining at Four Seasons Resort Palm Beach is an extraordinary experience. The highlight is Florie’s, the exclusive restaurant and bar in the United States collaborating with Mauro Colagreco, a Michelin-starred chef whose establishment is recognized among The World’s 50 Best Restaurants. Florie’s epitomizes a unique dining destination celebrated for its refined techniques, creativity, and dedication to the highest standards of excellence.

In the role of Chef de Partie, you will be a pivotal member of the Florie’s Culinary team, tasked with leading one of the kitchen’s core stations. This supervisory role demands a strong culinary background, exceptional leadership skills, and meticulous attention to detail in food quality, consistency, and presentation. As Chef de Partie, you will directly oversee line cooks, ensuring that daily operations meet the highest standards across all meal services. You will coordinate mise en place, prep lists, and station setup to guarantee efficient and smooth service. Food safety, sanitation, and strict adherence to regulatory standards will also be critically important under your leadership.

You will contribute significantly to training and mentoring emerging culinary talent and support the continuous evolution of the menu, working closely with senior kitchen leadership including the Executive Chef and Sous Chefs. Inventory management, cost control, and budget compliance are integral aspects of the position, along with delegation of duties and ensuring cleanliness standards are maintained. The ideal candidate should embrace a collaborative and professional work environment, stepping up to lead when management is unavailable, aiding in fostering a culture of excellence and cohesion within the kitchen team.

This opportunity offers a flexible schedule that requires availability during evenings, weekends, and holidays, consistent with the hospitality industry demands. The Four Seasons Resort Palm Beach not only promises an enriched career path infused with the beauty of an authentic Palm Beach island paradise but also competitive compensation with a comprehensive benefits package which includes career development, employee perks, and a supportive workplace culture. Joining the Four Seasons means becoming part of a distinguished brand committed to luxury, quality, and heartfelt service that will develop your culinary career in a uniquely inspiring and motivating environment.
