The Sous Chef is the culinary manager for a designated kitchen. They have direct oversight of a team of cooks and culinary leads. They are the main point of contact for that specific kitchen, whether it be the hotel’s fine dining restaurant 1894 or the Miraval’s three-meal restaurant Harvest Moon . This Sous Chef is the main driver of food quality and consistency in their kitchen. They should be a leader in their space and set the tone for the rest of the team.

It's a place where career opportunities are as unlimited as your imagination. Discover your place to shine in our warm, respectful, and inclusive culture.
