Job Description
Ember Management Group is a distinguished restaurant group renowned for operating some of Palm Beach County's most beloved dining destinations. Celebrated for its commitment to exceptional quality, comprehensive service, and authentic hospitality, the group manages a diverse portfolio of culinary concepts that cater to a wide range of tastes and experiences. Their acclaimed venues include Buccan, a refined and globally inspired bistro known for wood-fired cuisine and sophisticated small plates; Imoto, an upscale Asian-inspired restaurant that offers precision-driven sushi and contemporary flavors rooted in Japanese and Southeast Asian culinary traditions; The Sandwich Shop at Buccan, a chef-driven concept emphasizing fresh-baked bread and premium ingredients in all sandwiches; and Grato, a warm neighborhood Italian restaurant featuring house-made pastas and wood-fired pizzas. Ember Management Group emphasizes a culture that prioritizes people—both its team members and guests—and demonstrates a strong dedication to fostering quality in products, service, and hospitality.
Within this dynamic environment, Ember Management Group is seeking a talented and visionary Executive Pastry Chef to lead the pastry program for Buccan and Imoto, both located in the vibrant culinary scene of Coral Gables, Miami. This hands-on leadership role is ideally suited for a pastry professional driven by creativity, craft, and consistency. As the Executive Pastry Chef, you will be entrusted with full responsibility for developing and executing all house-made desserts across the Miami locations, crafting a pastry program that is seasonally driven and reflective of each restaurant's unique culinary identity. The position offers substantial creative freedom, allowing the chef to innovate and shape dessert menus that complement the distinct flavors and concepts of each outlet, while ensuring that shared offerings maintain consistency and high standards.
The role involves overseeing an entirely in-house production program with a focus on quality and artistic presentation. The Executive Pastry Chef will lead, manage, and mentor a dedicated pastry team, placing strong emphasis on organization, training, and excellence to uphold the culinary standards of the group. Collaboration with Executive Chefs and concept leaders is key to aligning pastry offerings with the overall culinary vision of the restaurants. Additionally, the role demands strict adherence to food safety, cleanliness, and efficient production practices. Beyond daily pastry operations, the Executive Pastry Chef will support back-of-house functions and special events as needed, ensuring versatility and breadth of skills in a fast-paced environment. The position provides an excellent opportunity to join a leading restaurant group, contribute to high-caliber dining experiences, and advance one’s culinary career within an organization known for excellence, integrity, and growth.
