Sous Chef

We are working hard on things that people are working hard for. We curate places that reflect our vision of a favourite hangout for the communities around us. With every experience we create, we bring our Mediterranean hospitality forward with its uncompromising focus on quality. Our people and our guests are all alike - forward thinking with an international mindset, curious urbanites who value long lasting informal and personal relationships.

We thrive for success which can also be shared, which is why we invest in and incubate emerging talents who commit to similar values – initiative, dedication, integrity, consciousness and dynamism.

If you feel the above describes you – join our tribe. In The Initiative we will support your development, we will amplify your voice.

Please keep in mind that this job advert is giving an overall description of the job and is not intended to be exhaustive. We will share more with you in person.

Shaman was born in 2018 as a coffee shop in Aldgate East. Since then, we have opened 4 new ventures in London (all based in Locke Hotels ) and the expansion plans are not going to stop here. Shaman is currently going through a re-band, to assert our place more thoroughly in the wellness space and to broaden our offering to not only food& beverage.

This role will very much be about translating our new vision, mission, ethos to our growing community, both visually and through all other types of content.
