Lead with Passion. Create with Excellence. Elevate the Experience.

Are you a visionary Executive Chef with a passion for elevated cuisine, innovation, and five-star hospitality? This is your opportunity to redefine fine dining in a luxurious senior living community where culinary artistry meets world-class service.

We’re looking for a bold, creative, and driven leader who thrives in a scratch kitchen, someone who doesn’t just cook but curates unforgettable dining experiences.

If you thrive on leading and educating a culinary team but wish you could retain creative freedom, hire and develop your own employees, take advantage of corporate benefits packages, and still be home every evening at a decent hour, we’d like to talk to you about joining Touchmark in the West Hills as our Executive Chef.

What Awaits You:

Culinary Prestige – Run a high-end, restaurant-caliber kitchen with premium ingredients and cutting- edge techniques.
Creative Autonomy – Design seasonal, chef-driven menus, host exclusive tasting events, and push the boundaries of modern cuisine.
Work-Life Harmony – Enjoy a structured schedule with NO late-night service, giving you the best of both worlds.

Luxury at its Finest – A state-of-the-art kitchen in an elegant, resort-style setting with a team as passionate as you are.

Inspire & Lead – Build and mentor a team that shares your commitment to excellence.

Who You Are:

A seasoned Executive Chef with experience in luxury hotels, fine dining, or high-end resorts.
A culinary innovator with an eye for sophisticated, health-conscious cuisine that dazzles.
A charismatic leader who fosters excellence, mentorship, and a thriving kitchen culture.
A hospitality-driven artist who understands the nuances of five-star service.

Culinary Freedom: Lead with your creativity! Design menus that spark excitement, from innovative seasonal dishes to comforting classics with a twist.

Luxury Dining, Every Day: You’ll be the mastermind behind an exceptional dining experience in one of the most sophisticated senior living communities in the USA.

A Commitment to Excellence: At Touchmark, we don’t just serve meals—we craft unforgettable experiences. As our Executive Chef, you’ll be at the helm of a culinary journey that stands out for its quality, innovation, and impeccable service.

Your Role:

Lead the Team: You’ll guide, mentor, and inspire a passionate kitchen crew to create meals that dazzle both in flavor and presentation.

Menu Maestro: Take charge of developing seasonally inspired, health-conscious menus that cater to a variety of tastes and dietary needs. Whether it’s a fine dining dinner or a light afternoon snack, you’ll make every bite memorable.

Setting the Standard: Ensure the highest standards of food quality, cleanliness, and presentation, creating a dining atmosphere that reflects luxury and care.

Collaborative Creativity: Work with management to craft special events and meals that bring the community together, making every occasion an extraordinary experience.

If you're looking for a role where you can bring your culinary vision to life, make a real impact, and enjoy a fulfilling work-life balance, then Touchmark in the West Hills is the place for you.
