Job description

Introducing Miiro… Inspired by the Latin word meaning ‘I wonder’ or ‘I marvel’, we encourage our guests to pause, to look around and to savour every moment. Our name and double vowel reminds us of a mirror, speaking to the idea of self-reflection and echoing the spirit of our locations.

At Miiro, we believe there’s a better way to travel. A way that is more thoughtful and personal. And since our hotels are in Europe’s most interesting neighbourhoods, we also encourage guests to discover new places — on their own terms and in an authentic way. Ultimately, we want to make sure guests go home inspired and reinvigorated because they’ve had a brilliantly considered stay.

Creating ‘Brilliantly Considered Stays’ is the essence of our brand. Stays that bring our guests closer to the local culture and their stories.

We opened hotels in Paris and Barcelona in Summer 2024, and are planning to open new hotels in London and two properties in Vienna in 2025.

We are looking for an exceptionally talented Sous Chef. Responsible for managing and inspiring all aspects of the kitchen, including coordinating activities and training for all chefs and kitchen personnel to ensure a creative, efficient, and profitable service. Maximize the profitability of the kitchen operation through effective cost controls. Maintain consistent standards of service, ensuring customer satisfaction. Create a working environment that supports the organisational values.

Key Responsibilities:

• Provide direction to the Kitchen brigade including Chef de Parties, Commis Chefs, and Kitchen Porters.
• Assist the Executive Chef in mentoring, coaching, and providing regular feedback to help manage conflict and improve team member performance.
• Educate and train team members in compliance with brand standards, service behaviors, and company standards. Ensure staff have the tools, training, and equipment to carry out their duties.
• Promote teamwork and quality service through daily communication and coordination with other departments.
• Show a desire and ability to improve your knowledge and abilities through ongoing training.
• Work as part of a diverse team with colleagues from different viewpoints, cultures, and countries.

What we are looking for:

• A passion for cooking with fresh, quality ingredients sourced from local producers.
• A willingness to push culinary boundaries.
• A leader who will train, nurture, and develop future talent within the business.
• Significant exposure to a variety of hotel or restaurant kitchens.
• Up-to-date knowledge of local food trends and culinary techniques.
• The ability to demonstrate the highest level of food quality.
• Experience in leading large teams in all areas of BOH.

What do we offer:

Our Sous Chef receives excellent company benefits:

• A competitive salary
• 28 days paid holiday
• Discounted hotel room rates across our hotels, for you and friends and family
• Fantastic training and development opportunities
• Free meals on shift
• Pension cover
• Unrivalled career progression prospects
