Job description

LEAD THE KITCHEN AT OUR FLAGSHIP VENUE

This November, The Sporting Globe opens in Greensborough, and it’s set to become the flagship of the Sporting Globe brand.

Multi-level. Sports bar. Gaming. Big game days. We’re looking for a Head Chef who wants more than a job. We want someone ready to build something of their own and take a real step forward in their career.

BUILD YOUR TEAM. SHAPE YOUR KITCHEN. FROM DAY ONE.

This isn’t a role where you inherit someone else’s kitchen and carry on as usual. As part of the opening leadership team, you’ll hand-pick and build your own BOH crew, set the standards, and shape the culture and operation from the ground up. You’ll have the autonomy to run the kitchen your way, backed by an experienced Venue Manager, a supportive leadership team and the resources of a growing hospitality group.

WHAT YOU’LL DO

• Recruit, lead, coach and develop a high-performing kitchen team
• Take ownership of a flagship BOH operation with the autonomy to make it your own
• Lead a well-resourced, well-structured team to deliver consistent, quality food every service
• Manage food costs, labour, stock, ordering and kitchen performance
• Keep food safety, compliance and kitchen standards sharp
• Work in partnership with the Venue Manager and leadership team
• Build a kitchen culture people want to be part of

WHAT YOU’LL BRING

• You’re an experienced Head Chef, or a strong Sous Chef ready to step up.
• You know how to run a high-volume kitchen, manage the numbers and still care about what goes over the pass.
• You enjoy building teams, developing people and setting high standards.
• Most importantly, you lead from the front.

WHAT’S IN IT FOR YOU

• Competitive salary package, plus performance-based incentives tied to your kitchen’s results
• Lead the kitchen at our flagship Sporting Globe venue, a standout role on your CV
• Build your own BOH team and shape the culture before doors open
• Structured leadership development, including mentoring from senior culinary and operations leaders
• Hands-on operational support through opening and beyond, from group-level teams in areas like systems, menu, procurement and people
• Clear career pathways across Signature Hospitality Group, with opportunities into senior culinary, multi-venue or operations roles
• Staff discounts across Signature Hospitality Group venues

A flagship kitchen. Your team. Your stamp on it from day one.

Game on, Greensborough.
