Private Chef in NEW YORK | 8th December 2025
Biospan
Chef job in New York
We're hiring a Full Time private chef. Each day is a Full day. You will work at the clients home. You'll plan nutrition-led menus, shop for quality ingredients, cook, batch where it makes sense, and leave the kitchen tidy. You'll coordinate with our nutrition team when needed, and you'll have direct feedback from the client so you can dial things in fast.
About Biospan. We place chefs into private households to deliver real, whole-food cooking with clear nutrition intent.

What you'll do. You'll plan and cook meals tailored to the household, manage shopping and inventory, portion and label for the week, and keep the kitchen clean and organised. You'll adapt to preferences, accommodate allergies or intolerances, and update a simple log so we can measure what works. You'll communicate clearly with the client (and us) so expectations stay aligned.
Schedule and location. You'll work days per week for roughly. Each day is a Full day. You will work at the clients home. The client's is based in NEW YORK.
Pay: USD 189000 per year (depending on experience).
What you'll need. You have at least three years of professional kitchen experience; private-chef experience is preferred. You're organised, discreet, punctual, and you leave a spotless kitchen. A driving licence, active chef insurance, and a clear background check are required. An interest in nutrition and a calm, systematic approach to meal prep will help you succeed.
How to apply. Please complete our short form (1-2 minutes) with your experience, location, and availability. Enter your full address without extra notes so we can match you to roles in your area.

â Collaborate with the family to plan weekly menus that reflect preferences, routines, and nutritional goals
â Travel regularly to Miami (and occasionally elsewhere), preparing meals across multiple residences
â Handle occasional guest meals (typically no more than 10 guests) with polish and efficiency
â Provide warm, professional service in an open kitchen environment where daily interaction with family is normal
â Bring a calm presence to a fast -moving household that values excellence, discretion, and trust in all things
You're a Strong Fit If You...
â Are a natural systems -thinker - you thrive in an environment where details matter and nothing gets missed
â Bring a chef's eye and a manager's mind - your kitchen runs beautifully, even on the busiest day
â Treat dietary rules and allergies with the seriousness they deserve - this is second nature to you
â Communicate clearly, respectfully, and efficiently with family and staff
â Excel in private settings where standards are high and expectations are unspoken
â Love creating a sense of calm and order - even when you're cooking under time pressure or on the move
