Descrizione del lavoro

Join to apply for the Head Chef role at The Wilde

THE WILDE is an international collection of private clubs where elegance and taste meet flawless service and forward‑thinking vision. A world built on discretion and conviviality, where culture, ideas, and inclusion come together to create an experience that is refined, vibrant, and never conventional.

We are seeking passionate professionals who thrive in a luxury setting and take pride in creating unforgettable moments. If you join us, here’s what you can expect — and what we expect from you:

What you’ll do:

You’ll take the lead in a kitchen where precision meets creativity. From the first cut to the final plate, you’ll bring the soul of Nikkei and Japanese cuisine to life — clean flavours, perfect balance, and quiet power in every dish. You’ll run service with intention and control: reading the room, guiding your brigade, keeping energy high and standards higher.

When it gets intense — and it will — you’ll stay composed, focused, and hands‑on, leading by example and making excellence feel effortless.

Who you are:

• You know your craft. Years on the line taught you discipline, but also when to break the rules.
• You understand the language of Japanese technique — knife work, balance, umami — and how to blend it with Nikkei freedom and flair.
• You lead people, not just plates: your team follows because they respect how you move, how you teach, how you care about the details.
• You’re calm, curious, and never satisfied with “good enough.” You want every plate, every night, to say something about who you are.

What we offer:

• 30% off when dining in our restaurants — enjoy what you help create
• Referral bonus up to €500 — bring great people, grow the team
• An extra day off on your birthday — celebrate it your way
• Uniform laundry service — we’ll handle the details
• A curated welfare package to support your lifestyle
• Internal mobility and real career growth across the group
• Attractive salary package
• Discount on van‑sharing shuttle service for the ride home

At THE WILDE, we believe our strength lies in the individuality of our people. Every story, every perspective, and every skill shapes the character of our club and keeps it alive, authentic, and ever‑evolving. We cultivate an environment where respect and collaboration are second nature, and where differences are not only welcomed but celebrated. For us, inclusion isn’t a slogan — it’s the way we work, the way we grow, and the way we achieve excellence together.
