Job Description

Join Our Team as an Executive Chef at SKY Armory!

This is not a clipboard-only chef role. As Executive Chef at SKY Armory, you’ll lead a high-energy banquet kitchen where execution matters, teams matter, and food is a key part of unforgettable events. From weddings and galas to corporate celebrations, you’ll set the culinary vision and then roll up your sleeves to make it happen.

What you’ll do

  • Own the culinary execution for all events—from menu creation to final plate

  • Lead, mentor, and inspire a fast-moving banquet kitchen team

  • Oversee high-volume service while maintaining quality, timing, and consistency

  • Collaborate with sales and events teams to create standout guest experiences

  • Manage food costs, labor, inventory, and kitchen systems with confidence

  • Uphold food safety, cleanliness, and operational excellence

What you bring

  • Proven leadership experience in banquets, catering, hotels, or event-driven kitchens

  • Strong organizational skills and calm command during service

  • A balance of creativity and operational discipline

  • Passion for mentoring teams and building positive kitchen culture

  • Flexibility for nights and weekends—because great events don’t happen on a schedule

Why SKY Armory

  • Large-scale, high-impact events that keep things exciting

  • A collaborative leadership team that respects the kitchen

  • Creative freedom within a well-run operation

  • A culture built on teamwork, pride, and doing things the right way

If you’re ready to lead a kitchen that cooks for moments people remember—and have fun doing it—this is your stage.
