Executive Chef

Benefits: Health benefits, PTO, and relocation assistance offered

We are conducting a search for an ambitious and visionary Executive Chef to join a growing, chef-driven hospitality group redefining modern Indian cuisine in Raleigh, North Carolina. This is a rare opportunity for a culinary leader ready to own the kitchen—not inherit it

• Strong command of inventive menu development rooted in technique and creativity
• Proven ability to lead, mentor, and inspire kitchen teams while setting high standards of execution
• Entrepreneurial mindset with a desire to build, evolve, and elevate a culinary program from the ground up
• Passion for excellence with long-term aspirations toward Michelin-level or nationally recognized accolades
• Strong understanding of how culinary vision intersects with brand storytelling
• New restaurant opening experience is a plus
• Prior experience working under a Michelin-starred or James Beard Award–recognized chef is highly valued

• Full creative ownership of the menu and culinary direction
• Opportunity to build a kitchen culture and culinary identity from inception
• A platform to pursue national recognition within a modern Indian dining concept
• Supportive ownership group that values ambition, innovation, and chef-led leadership
