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 planning to open our new hotels in London and two properties in Vienna in 2025.

We are looking for an exceptionally talented Sous Chef.

• Promote teamwork and quality service through daily communication and coordination with other departments.
• Have the desire and ability to improve your knowledge and abilities through on-going training.
• Ability to work as part of a diverse team with colleagues from different viewpoints, cultures and countries.

What we are looking for:

• Someone with a desire and passion to cook with fresh quality ingredients sourced from local producers.
• We are looking for someone who is willing to always push culinary boundaries.
• A leader who will train, nurture, and develop future talent within the business.
• Has significant exposure to a variety of different Hotel or Restaurant kitchens.
• Up to date knowledge of local food trends and culinary techniques.
• Able to demonstrate the highest level of food quality.
• Experience of leading large teams in all areas of BOH.

What do we offer:

• A competitive salary.
