Description

Love What You Do, Every day.

Picture this: Going to work and stepping into 1800 acres of natural beauty, amid the rolling hills and rugged high desert of Central Oregon. Each day, you're surrounded by panoramic views of the towering Cascade Peaks while being a part of a passionate, award-winning hospitality team. Working alongside other top-of-their-game individuals, you'll be dedicated to delivering, creating, and celebrating extraordinary guest experiences in an awe-inspiring setting.

The Perks

The views are pretty incredible. So are the people who work here. Our team truly is the heart and soul of Brasada Ranch, and they're the reason we are ranked as the #8 Best Resort in the United States by Conde Nast Traveler'. We know our people are instrumental to our success, so we offer competitive pay, great staff perks, and a culture that encourages fulfillment at work and in life. That's why Brasada Ranch is proud to offer our employees the following benefits:

• Medical, Dental and Vision company sponsored benefit package available to full-time employees

Not to mention, a variety of company-wide celebrations, like our end-of-season bash, holiday party, and scramble golf tournament/BBQ. Plus, a few generous raffles thrown in for good measure.

The Restaurant

At Wild Rye, the howl of the high desert can be heard on every plate and tasted in every sip. Every dish is intricately tied to the land, the season, and the lifestyle of the region, whether foraged from the surroundings, grown by Central Oregon farms, or philosophically connected to the desert. The cuisine from the high desert's rugged and arid area is rich with bold flavors, reflecting the unique offerings of its habitat. Local ingredients from farms and ranches include elk, venison, rabbit, and buffalo, while foraged items such as western juniper, sagebrush, rye, elderberry, wild strawberry, and huckleberry enhance the menu. The kitchen is driven by the essence of smoke and fire, with dishes being smoked, grilled, spit-roasted, or torched, embodying the spirit of open-range and campfire cooking. https://www.brasada.com/bend-oregon-dining/wild-rye
