The Boston branch is a fresh addition to the LPM family, promising to bring this celebrated dining experience to the city’s culinary scene. It is an exciting time for the restaurant, especially as it prepares to open its doors with a highly motivated and skillful team.

The Junior Sous Chef positions at LPM Boston represent a vital opportunity to join an internationally recognized restaurant during an important phase of its development — the grand opening. This full-time role with an annual salary of $75,000 is perfect for ambitious culinary professionals who want to contribute to both Hot Kitchen and Pastry operations. There are two openings: one focused on savory dishes in the Hot Kitchen, and another dedicated to desserts and pastries.

The Junior Sous Chef will work closely under the supervision and guidance of the Executive Chef and Sous Chef. They will be responsible for supporting daily kitchen operations, maintaining high standards of quality, consistency, and presentation, and ensuring efficient workflow throughout service hours. This role emphasizes leadership, attention to detail, and teamwork, as Junior Sous Chefs will assist in managing line cooks or pastry staff and contribute to training and development. Additionally, managing inventory, monitoring food costs, and adhering to food safety regulations are critical aspects of the job.

The Hot Kitchen role requires oversight of various cooking stations such as grill, sauté, and garde manger, especially during busy service periods. A strong background in fine dining, knowledge of French or Mediterranean cuisine, and readiness to step into a leadership role within the kitchen are important.

On the Pastry side, the Junior Sous Chef will focus on the baking and dessert preparation, ensuring exceptional standards in French pastry techniques. Prior experience in high-end pastry kitchens is highly valued. Both roles demand flexibility, as shifts include nights, weekends, and holidays, typical in the restaurant industry.

This is an outstanding career opportunity for culinary professionals seeking growth within an international brand, eager to work in a high-volume, energetic, and prestigious restaurant environment. LPM Boston provides the ideal platform for honing culinary skills, gaining leadership experience, and being part of a dynamic team dedicated to excellence and innovation in the French Mediterranean culinary tradition.
