Culinary Director I

The Culinary Director is the chief change and transformation agent, responsible for all aspects of culinary operations, including food safety, quality, and innovation. Direct Reports include the Residential Executive Chef and Executive Chef responsible for campus-wide Compliance, Health & Wellness, and Sustainability. Indirect reports include all salaried, SNE, hourly, and sous chefs. The primary driver for this position is to drive the culinary reputation of GU Dining and create best-in-class as indicated by national rankings, VOC, surveys, client satisfaction, and student engagement. The vision is to create a new, cutting-edge program that educates and engages students while delivering food appropriate to GU student tastes. There will, of course, be the standard task-based duties, including jumping in to help with major events, but overall, this position is strategic in nature. It’s not that you won’t cook; it’s about why you are cooking and how that action moves the program forward.
