At Le Germain Hotel Ottawa, the kitchen is an essential part of the guest experience. We’re looking for an Executive Chef who will lead the full culinary offering with vision, consistency, and rigour, including our fine-dining restaurant Norca, The Jackson Café, in-room dining, and banquets and catering services. This role is ideal for a Chef who thrives in a hotel environment with multiple dining experiences and service points, and who understands that excellence must be just as present in banquets and in-room dining as it is in the restaurant. Through your creativity, organization, operational leadership, and genuine love of food and hospitality, you will guide the brigade, elevate the culinary offering, and help create memorable moments for every guest.

WHAT YOU’LL DO

  • Plan, organize, and oversee the execution of banquets, catered functions, and special events, including logistics and client collaboration
  • Oversee café operations and menu execution, while ensuring consistency across all culinary service points
  • Ensure in-room dining is delivered with the same level of quality, presentation, timeliness, and care as all other culinary offerings
  • Recruit, train, coach, and lead the kitchen brigade and stewarding team
  • Plan schedules and allocate work according to operational needs, business volumes, and labour objectives, while maintaining productivity and budget expectations
  • Oversee purchasing, supplier relationships, inventory, storage, and product quality to meet financial expectations and quality standards
  • Play an active role in the financial performance of the F&B department by identifying opportunities, driving improvements, and contributing to greater profitability
  • Contribute to the development of marketing initiatives and culinary events that enhance the restaurant’s visibility and overall guest experience
  • Collaborate closely with front-of-house, hotel operations, sales, and other departments to ensure smooth service, event execution, and strategic alignment
  • Maintain high standards in hygiene, sanitation, health and safety, and food handling at all times

WHAT YOU’LL BRING

  • Significant experience in an Executive Chef or senior culinary leadership role in a hotel, restaurant, or similar environment
  • Strong experience managing banquets, catering, and high-volume event execution
  • Strong knowledge of diverse dining standards across restaurant, café, room service, and event environments
  • Professional culinary training; Red Seal certification is an asset
  • Strong leadership, sound judgment, and the ability to develop and mobilize a team
  • Creativity, organization, and the ability to manage multiple priorities in a fast-paced environment
  • Strong communication and problem-solving skills
  • Good knowledge of labour standards, health and safety, and hygiene and sanitation requirements
  • Ability to stand for long periods and handle the physical demands of the role
  • Availability to work flexible hours, including evenings and weekends
