Job Description

Momentis is the Family Office of the Carson family, dedicated to supporting the family in achieving philanthropic goals, managing a diverse portfolio of assets, and thoughtfully organizing the family estate to create an enduring legacy of infinite impact. This organization prioritizes investing in Conscious Leaders who bring world-changing ideas to fruition, directing capital strategically to empower teams with ambitious visions and the expertise to realize them. As a deeply values-driven family office, Momentis integrates philanthropy, investment, and stewardship into a unified mission that nurtures both social good and sustainable growth. The workplace fosters an environment that emphasizes wellness, integrity, and collaboration with a strong commitment to health and tobacco-free policies.

The Executive Chef role at Momentis is more than a traditional culinary position; it is a leadership opportunity central to the full-spectrum food experience for both the Carson household and the Omya community. Reporting to senior family leadership and collaborating closely with the Momentis Director of Farm Operations, the Executive Chef is entrusted with the holistic management of the food program. This includes developing seasonal menus that reflect the family’s values around holistic wellness, farm-to-table sourcing, and conscientious living. The role demands operational excellence in executing daily household meals, orchestrating intimate to large-scale events for family members and external guests, and directing a network of trusted culinary contractors to uphold high standards across all food experiences.

The ideal candidate champions a wellness-forward, organic, farm-to-table culinary approach and has ample experience leading culinary programs in private estates or exclusive hospitality settings. This role involves creative menu design, strategic sourcing partnerships with local farms and specialty purveyors, budget management, and ensuring a seamless culinary experience from concept through cleanup. The Executive Chef must blend creative artistry with logistical expertise to bring unique culinary visions to life in a variety of settings, including the family’s Omaha residence, ranch locations, and remote travel destinations like Lake Powell.

Momentis offers a competitive salary ranging from $108,000 to $144,000 depending on experience, alongside bonus potential, 401(k) matching, health benefits, and a culture that deeply values wellness and professional growth. This position is uniquely suited to a culinary leader who seeks to make an impact beyond the kitchen by integrating food with family values and community connection. Candidates must demonstrate discretion, professionalism, and adaptability, thriving in both fully equipped kitchens and more rustic, adventure-based environments. The Executive Chef presents an extraordinary opportunity to steward an inspired food program that nourishes body, mind, and community, truly making every meal a meaningful experience.
