Executive Pastry Chef

Executive Pastry Director

We are seeking a visionary Executive Pastry Director for a high-quality, rustic French pastry shop and restaurant south of Fall River, MA. This destination operation, which has earned acclaim from The New York Times, combines a high-volume scratch bakery/cafe with an intimate fine-dining restaurant. For a professional seeking to escape the burnout of major metro areas without sacrificing culinary standards, this role offers the rare chance to lead a sophisticated program in a beautiful, sought-after community where lifestyle and craft are equally valued.

• Oversee all pastry and bread production for a high-volume cafe ($5M annual volume) and a 42-seat fine-dining concept.
• Manage, train, and inspire a production team of 8–15 bakers, fostering a culture of respect and professional growth.
• Scale recipes and production processes efficiently to meet high demand while maintaining uncompromising "from-scratch" standards.
• Direct the aesthetic vision for all pastry offerings, ensuring products align with the brand’s high-end, destination-worthy image.
• Maintain a "player-coach" presence, arriving early (approx. 5:00 a.m.) to oversee quality control and participate in production.
• Collaborate closely with the Director of Hospitality and Director of Operations to ensure seamless service and brand consistency.

• Extensive experience in high-volume, rustic French pastry and scratch bread production.
• Proven track record of scaling bakery operations without losing artisan quality.
• Exceptional aesthetic sensibility and a portfolio demonstrating "destination-level" finished pastries.
• Resilient leadership style with the ability to handle direct critique and manage a diverse production team.
• Strong "hands‑on" work ethic and the physical ability to meet the demands of an early‑morning bakery schedule.
• Singular professional focus; no outside consulting or "side gig" commitments.

• Base Salary: $125,000 – $175,000 (negotiable, for the right experience).
• Performance-based bonus program.
• Relocation assistance for out-of-state candidates.
• Comprehensive health, dental, and vision insurance (50/50 co‑pay).
• Paid time off and professional development opportunities.
