The company excels in venue development and offers end-to-end solutions across venue management, hospitality, and sponsorship sales. With a robust platform spanning seven world-class owned venues, OVG also works with a prestigious client roster that includes some of the most iconic arenas, stadiums, convention centers, music festivals, performing arts centers, and cultural institutions across four continents. This expansive reach and operational excellence have positioned OVG as a respected innovator and trusted partner within the live entertainment sector, known for transforming the experience of venues worldwide through superior management and inventive place-making.
The role of Restaurant Executive Chef at Oak View Group is a uniquely prestigious opportunity situated within an Exclusive Members Only Club Restaurant in downtown Phoenix, developed in partnership with Major Food Group and OVG. The executive chef leads and manages a culinary team responsible for delivering exceptional food quality and service to the club’s discerning members. This leadership position requires overseeing all aspects of kitchen operations — from staff management and mentorship to event menu creation, food cost control, and adherence to health and safety regulations. The Executive Chef plays a pivotal role in maintaining the elite standards associated with the brand while fostering an encouraging, positive, and compliant workplace culture.
The successful candidate will manage a diverse team of 35 full-time and part-time culinary professionals, providing training, coaching, and performance evaluation to meet and exceed company quality standards. They will have independent authority over employment actions like hiring, termination, and disciplinary measures, making employee relations a critical element of the role. This position demands a hands-on leader who can balance culinary creativity with operational efficiency, ensuring every event and service runs smoothly and guests receive an exemplary experience.
In addition to operational responsibilities, the Executive Chef is responsible for developing menus consistent with the unique style of the concept, ensuring the quality, consistency, and presentation standards are upheld. The role requires meticulous attention to food preparation timeliness, sanitation practices, inventory management, and kitchen safety, alongside developing training programs to enhance team capabilities continually. Strong communication and problem-solving skills are essential to this role, as is the ability to work a flexible, event-driven schedule including nights, weekends, and holidays.
Offered on a full-time basis, this position comes with a competitive salary range from $100,000 to $120,000 annually. Oak View Group values the well-being of its employees, providing comprehensive benefits such as health insurance, dental and vision coverage, a 401(k) savings plan with matching, and paid time off, including vacation, sick days, and holidays. The company is deeply committed to diversity and inclusion, cultivating a workplace environment that celebrates differences to strengthen innovation and excellence. Oak View Group is an equal opportunity employer, dedicated to fair hiring and employment practices, making it an employer of choice for experienced culinary professionals looking to advance their career within a dynamic and prestigious live entertainment company.
