Club Hue Club HUE is a private members' club that blends culture, design, and culinary artistry into a seamless, day-to-night experience. Intimate yet vibrant, the club transforms throughout the day-from chef-driven lunches and refined dinners to late-night revelry-always balancing understated luxury with a distinctly contemporary edge. Our culinary identity reflects this vision: progressive Asian cuisine that marries fine dining precision with timeless comfort, crafted with nuance, seasonality, and surprise. Each dish is designed not only to delight but also to harmonize with a curated wine and beverage program, creating moments that are both memorable and elevated.
We are seeking an ExecutiveChef who can lead this vision-someone with the creativity to define a culinary identity that is modern, expressive, and deeply rooted in seasonality, while also having the discipline to deliver consistency, systems, and excellence in execution. The ideal candidate will be as comfortable developing menus and plating guides as they are mentoring a brigade, running tastings, and collaborating with our beverage team. This role requires a chef who is visionary yet detail-oriented, capable of balancing artistry with operational rigor, and excited to build something truly special from the ground up.
Main Duties
Visionary and influential leader with proven success delivering exceptional fine-dining experiences, managing high-performing teams, and developing profitable culinary programs.

Train and educate staff on Asian cooking methods, knife skills, plating, flavor balance, and cultural knowledge while reinforcing safe work practices.
Create, implement, and enforce systems that ensure culinary excellence, efficiency, and cost control-maximizing profitability without compromising on taste or guest experience.
Curate seasonal menus and maintain recipe integrity, plating standards, and product sourcing with a focus on premium Asian ingredients (wagyu, uni, abalone, truffles, aged soy, specialty spices).
Drive collaboration between Front of House and Back of House teams, ensuring synergy and seamless service.
Partner with Marketing/Events to design special menus, holiday experiences, and culturally aligned culinary programming.
Ensure proper storage, inventory control, food costing, equipment maintenance, sanitation, and hygiene at all times.
