Job Description

Rosewood Miramar Beach is a prestigious luxury resort located in the idyllic community of Montecito, California, along the captivating shores of Southern California's coastline. This exclusive 16-acre estate is one of only 15 properties globally to hold the esteemed Forbes Five-Star rating, reflecting its commitment to excellence, luxury, and impeccable service. The resort features 153 ultra-luxury guest rooms and suites, including stunning beachfront accommodations, distinctive signature suites, and expansive multi-bedroom bungalows. Guests enjoy a range of high-end amenities such as the Forbes Five-Star Sense, A Rosewood Spa, a state-of-the-art fitness studio, two pool areas lined with private cabanas, and personalized beach service on the pristine sandy shores of Miramar Beach.

Rosewood Miramar Beach is recognized as a culinary landmark, boasting six unique dining experiences including an oceanfront MICHELIN one-star and MICHELIN green star restaurant, a traditional Japanese Edomae sushi bar, an al fresco beach bar, a refined cocktail lounge, casual all-day dining venues, poolside dining options, and a charming ice cream shop serving classic American fare. With lavish indoor and outdoor event spaces covering approximately 28,000 square feet — including the spectacular Chandelier Ballroom and the Great Lawn with uninterrupted ocean vistas — the resort offers an impeccable setting for intimate gatherings and grand celebrations alike. Owned by Caruso and managed by Rosewood Hotels and Resorts, the property embodies the sophisticated blend of grace, style, and personalized service that defines the Rosewood brand.

The chef will be responsible for selecting, preparing, and cooking meat, seafood, and vegetables, ensuring all food meets the hotel’s quality standards. Maintaining communications with the culinary team during busy periods and actively participating in closing duties are essential to sustaining the hotel’s operational excellence.

This temporary position is anticipated to start upon hire with an undetermined end date. The pay scale ranges from $22.79 to $23.79 per hour, reflecting Rosewood Miramar Beach’s commitment to attracting skilled staff who share the company’s passion for exceptional hospitality.
