Overview

We are seeking a creative, driven Part-Time Dessert Chef to join a fast-growing, innovation-focused dessert brand.

This is a hands-on position for someone who has imagined running their own Willy Wonka–style dessert lab—where research, experimentation, and execution happen fast. If a concept is discussed on Monday, we aim to test or launch it by Thursday.

Assist with special events, catering requests, and custom dessert builds

Qualifications & Experience

Proven experience in a professional kitchen (dessert, pastry, prep, bakery, catering, or fine dining)

Strong understanding of food production, food safety, and kitchen organization

Experience with menu development, inventory management, and quality control

Ability to work efficiently in a fast-paced, evolving environment

Comfortable taking ownership and working independently when needed

Opportunity to grow with a brand on the verge of expansion

A collaborative, supportive environment where ideas matter
