Job Description

Biospan is a premium service provider specializing in placing skilled chefs into private households, focusing on delivering real, whole-food cooking with clear nutritional intent. Founded with a mission to serve busy families, founders, and performance-minded professionals, Biospan stands out by emphasizing simple and organic ingredients, smart preparation systems, and consistent execution for every client. This approach allows clients to enjoy meals designed not only with flavor in mind but also tailored to meet specific health goals or dietary protocols. As a company, Biospan embraces a client-centered method, ensuring that each meal aligns with dietary needs and preferences without unnecessary complexity or fuss. Operating primarily in New York, Biospan’s chefs bring expertise directly to clients’ homes, maintaining a high standard in both culinary skill and customer service.

The role of a Full-Time Private Chef at Biospan is dynamic and highly personalized. Each day entails a full workday spent at the client's home, where meticulous attention to nutrition-led meal planning is required. The chef will collaborate closely with a nutrition team when needed to ensure menus meet macro and dietary requirements, yet retains autonomy over cooking and kitchen management. Responsibilities include planning personalized seasonal menus, shopping for premium quality organic ingredients, cooking meals with a blend of flavor and function, and efficiently batching food when appropriate. The chef must also maintain a clean and organized kitchen after every session, reflecting Biospan’s emphasis on professional kitchen standards. Communication is a key element of the role, with direct feedback loops from clients allowing the chef to fine-tune menus rapidly and effectively.

Biospan values a kitchen culture rich in mise en place, safe batch preparation, and efficiency. Chefs meticulously log dishes, portions, and client notes, such as allergies, preferences, or recipe successes and failures, facilitating continuous improvement for future cooking days. This role calls for a proactive professional who can adapt menus based on client feedback and is comfortable incorporating expert guidance from nutritionists. The schedule comprises multiple full days per week in residence at the client’s home, offering a unique environment for chefs to craft bespoke meals that support clients' health and lifestyle goals.

Salary for this full-time position is competitive, offering an annual pay of USD 189,000, which varies depending on experience. Biospan's detailed focus on healthful, sustainable cooking practices and individual client care makes this role ideal for a chef looking to expand their expertise in private household cooking while working in a supportive and innovative environment. Candidates should expect a role that blends culinary artistry with nutrition science within a demanding yet rewarding setting.
