Job Description

Grand Hyatt Scottsdale Resort is a luxurious hospitality establishment located in the heart of the West, embodying the vibrant optimism and unique beauty of the Sonoran Desert. This resort is celebrated for its artistic architectural design, inspired by the legendary Frank Lloyd Wright, which brings a sophisticated touch that echoes the romance of the American Southwest. Surrounded by dramatic mountain views and an enticing botanical environment, the resort offers guests an immersive experience intertwined with nature and style. With six elevated dining experiences led by celebrity chef Richard Blais, the property is a culinary destination that invites travelers to enjoy the rich heritage and diverse flavors of the region. The Grand Hyatt Scottsdale Resort is not only a place for guests to stay but a center for connection, wellness, and memorable encounters with the illuminating essence of the surrounding landscape.

Joining Hyatt Hotels and Resorts means becoming part of a global family that values belonging and care. Since its inception in 1957, Hyatt has focused on its people, turning ordinary jobs into enriching careers. As one of the world’s fastest-growing hospitality brands, Hyatt continuously invests in its employees' growth and development, offering opportunities to work worldwide within its renowned network. Hyatt’s culture fosters a sense of community and collaboration, ensuring that each colleague feels valued and empowered to succeed.

The Sous Chef position at Grand Hyatt Scottsdale Resort is an exciting opportunity for culinary professionals seeking a leadership role in a high-end, fast-paced environment. Reporting directly to the Executive Chef, the Sous Chef will exercise autonomy and creative freedom similar to that of an independent owner/operator, contributing significantly to the development and execution of innovative menu items and culinary concepts. This role requires open availability, including mornings, evenings, weekends, and holidays, ensuring the ability to meet the dynamic needs of the resort’s six dining venues and special events.

The Sous Chef will act as senior leadership within the kitchen, serving as the pivotal link between culinary staff and dining operations. This position involves supervising food preparation, maintaining the highest standards of quality and consistency, managing kitchen staff through effective scheduling and training, and supporting special events and holiday functions. The role also involves mentorship and leadership responsibilities, including coaching team members and fostering a positive work environment to deliver exceptional guest experiences.

This role is ideal for individuals with strong culinary skills, leadership capabilities, and a passion for hospitality, who thrive in a fast-paced setting and aspire to grow their careers in a prestigious hotel brand. The Grand Hyatt Scottsdale Resort offers a culture of respect, professional development, and comprehensive benefits to support the well-being and success of its employees.
