Job Description
Camaraderie Clubs is a distinguished management company established by the Co-Founder and former CEO of Travis Mathew, a renowned name in the fashion and lifestyle segment. The company is committed to revolutionizing the concept of Country Club Membership to suit the preferences and expectations of the next generation of Club Members. With ownership of two premier club properties—Spanish Hills Club and The Huntington Club—Camaraderie Clubs infuses innovation and tradition to deliver exclusive experiences for its members.
Camaraderie Clubs operates in a highly collaborative environment that champions a process-oriented culture summarized by the principle "Plan, Communicate, Track, Evaluate & Adjust." This framework ensures that every decision is made collectively, contributing to the sustained success of the team and the clubs. As an organization rooted in luxury lifestyle management, Camaraderie Clubs emphasizes teamwork, quality, and excellence across all its service offerings.
The Huntington Club, being one of the flagship properties, is currently seeking a highly skilled Executive Chef to lead its culinary operations. This role is pivotal to maintaining the club's reputation for exceptional dining experiences and innovative cuisine. As the Executive Chef, you will oversee the entire kitchen operation, including menu creation tailored to member preferences and private events, cost management, inventory supervision, and adherence to the highest sanitation standards. This executive role reports directly to the Vice President of Operations and involves close collaboration with other departments.
The Executive Chef acts as both a leader and mentor, setting a standard by cooking alongside the team and offering expert guidance. You will be responsible for developing and updating recipes, defining portion sizes, setting pricing strategies and food preparation procedures to maintain consistency and excellence. Budget management is a significant aspect of the role, requiring the development and weekly review of annual budgets to optimize culinary operations while controlling costs effectively.
Furthermore, the Executive Chef develops menus for member dining on a quarterly basis and for private events, ensuring innovative modifications in line with current culinary trends and member tastes. Personnel management is another crucial component, involving hiring, training, scheduling, and supervising kitchen and service teams to deliver impeccable service. Regulatory compliance with all local and federal laws, especially health and safety regulations, is strictly maintained, supported by organized cleaning schedules and regular inspections.
The ideal candidate will have an impressive culinary background with proven experience managing high-volume, industry-leading kitchen operations. A passion for culinary excellence, ability to work flexibly during evenings, weekends, and holidays, and demonstrated skills in leadership, budget management, and guest interaction are essential. Proficiency in Microsoft Office and relevant POS systems supports operational efficiency.
Camaraderie Clubs offers a competitive salary package along with attractive benefits including bonus incentives, paid time off, a 401k retirement plan, comprehensive medical, dental, and vision coverage, life insurance, monthly cell phone and health & wellness allowances, and exclusive employee discounts including golf and tennis privileges at the clubs. The work schedule primarily spans Wednesday through Sunday with hours typically from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m., adaptable based on club events and operational needs.
Joining Camaraderie Clubs as the Executive Chef at The Huntington Club presents an exceptional opportunity to bring your culinary expertise and leadership skills to an esteemed organization committed to redefining luxury and personalized service. You will play an instrumental role in shaping the gastronomic experiences of a discerning membership base while benefiting from a supportive, growth-oriented work environment.
