The role of Executive Chef at Sunrise Senior Living, specifically at the Maplewood Park Place community, is a key leadership position focused on culinary excellence. The Executive Chef is the visionary leader responsible for the entire culinary program, elevating food production and presentation to the highest standards in fine dining and luxury hospitality. This role involves directing a team of culinary professionals to deliver an innovative, elevated dining experience that not only delights residents but also reflects the brand’s values of service, quality, and community engagement.

As the Executive Chef, you will oversee all kitchen operations—including menu development, inventory management, vendor relations, staff training, and compliance with rigorous food safety and sanitation protocols. You will be responsible for creating seasonal and innovative menus designed to enhance guest satisfaction and support revenue growth through events like weekend brunches, family celebrations, and catering.

With a solid background in culinary arts and extensive experience in executive chef roles within fine dining or luxury settings, the ideal candidate must excel in multitasking, organizational management, and problem-solving. Excellent communication and leadership skills are essential for motivating the team and engaging with guests to craft personalized dining experiences. Flexibility to work evenings and weekends is also required, ensuring a consistent and superior dining environment.

This position offers an opportunity not only to lead culinary operations but also to contribute to a dynamic, supportive community dedicated to improving the lives of seniors.
