Pastry Chef

We’re opening an upscale steakhouse in Phoenix’s Biltmore/Camelback corridor and looking for a talented pastry chef to build our dessert program from the ground up.

This is an opportunity to create signature desserts, work with exceptional ingredients, and help shape a new restaurant from day one. We want desserts that guests remember, talk about, and come back for.

You’ll have creative freedom to develop the pastry menu in collaboration with our executive chef and ownership. We’re looking for someone who takes pride in the craft, enjoys daily production, and cares as much about flavor and consistency as presentation.

In this role, you will:

• Develop a distinctive dessert menu, including signature creations and seasonal offerings that complement an upscale steakhouse experience.
• Prepare desserts and components from scratch, including cakes, pastries, custards, sauces, ice creams, and sorbets.
• Lead daily pastry production and oversee dessert execution during service.
• Establish recipes, portion standards, plating techniques, and preparation schedules to ensure consistent quality.
• Manage pastry inventory, ordering, ingredient costs, and waste.
• Work closely with the executive chef to coordinate kitchen workflow and service.
• Train kitchen staff on dessert preparation and plating.
• Maintain a clean, organized workspace with strong food safety and allergen practices.

We’re looking for someone with:

• Professional pastry experience in fine dining, upscale restaurants, or luxury hotels and resorts.
• Strong skills in baking, classical pastry techniques, and plated desserts.
• The creativity to develop original dishes and the discipline to execute them consistently.
• Excellent organization, attention to detail, and the ability to manage production independently.
• A collaborative attitude and genuine pride in their work.
• Availability for evenings, weekends, and holidays as needed.
