The role of Executive Chef within the Miami Marlins is a dynamic leadership position responsible for spearheading the culinary strategy across both major and minor league facilities. This role is integral to ensuring that all culinary operations align with the organization's mission to support athlete performance through nutrition-focused, whole-food menus. The Executive Chef will oversee kitchen operations, manage culinary teams, and collaborate with sports performance and nutrition staff to develop menus that support the rigorous demands of professional baseball athletes. Emphasis is placed on cooking with nutrient-dense, minimally processed ingredients, using traditional fats such as butter, ghee, and tallow instead of heavily processed seed oils.
This position requires a skilled culinary leader who can navigate the complexities of sports nutrition while also appreciating and incorporating culturally diverse cuisines, specifically those from Latin American, Caribbean, and Venezuelan traditions. The Executive Chef will manage budgets, vendor relationships, procurement processes, and maintain high standards of cleanliness, safety, and quality in all food service locations. Additionally, the role involves coordinating travel meals and other special food needs for the team to ensure consistency even on the road.
The successful candidate will be adept at digital culinary management platforms and inventory systems, capable of upgrading kitchen layouts and service models, and knowledgeable in nutrition education and dietary supplement compliance. This position requires someone with strong leadership, communication, and organizational skills who can thrive in a fast-paced and evolving team environment within a professional sports context. The Executive Chef must demonstrate professionalism, discretion, and exceptional customer service, maintaining positive relationships with athletes, coaching staff, and vendors.
This role demands flexibility with a schedule that includes nights, weekends, holidays, and travel to spring training, affiliates, and road games. The Miami Marlins value a long-term approach to their culinary vision, encouraging continuous improvement, innovation, and alignment with the evolving needs of a professional baseball organization. The Executive Chef will play a crucial role in fostering a winning culture by delivering performance-driven culinary support that enables athletes to achieve their best on and off the field.Show Less
