Executive Chef
The Elene
Executive chef job in Napa, CA
, NAPA VALLEY
Imagine standing where dawn first breaks over Napa Valley-where the sun's earliest rays illuminate vineyard rows and endless possibility unfolds. This is The Elene, Greek for "shining light."
Opening July 2026, The Elene is a 50-room luxury resort where elegance meets intimacy in Wine Country's most elevated form. We're not building another hotel. We're creating a place where comfort invites you to be exactly who you are-where culinary artistry, radical connection, and the soul-stirring beauty of Napa converge into something genuinely transformative.
THE EXPERIENCE
Under the culinary direction of an acclaimed chef, our food and beverage program celebrates landscape and community through Italian technique and Napa terroir. A chef-driven restaurant. An artisan cafe pulsing with morning energy. Poolside moments enhanced by thoughtful service. Event spaces that hold everything from intimate gatherings of 40 to vineyard-view celebrations for 250.
But the real magic? It's in how we frame nature. How we build opportunities for unprecedented fun and vulnerability. How we prioritize human connection over flash and formality. With a stabilized Average Daily Rate exceeding $900, The Elene represents conscious luxury at its finest-deliberate, impactful hospitality where excess has no place and every detail serves the guest experience.
MOSAIC HOTEL COLLECTION
The Elene joins the distinguished Mosaic Hotel Collection-a family of Northern California boutique properties including El Dorado Hotel in Sonoma, North Block Hotel in Yountville, The Madrona in Healdsburg, Olema House in Point Reyes, and Campos Polanco in Mexico City. Under the stewardship of Palisades Hospitality Group, each Mosaic property reflects an authentic connection to the place. The Elene will illuminate Napa Valley's essence like nowhere else.
WHY THIS MATTERS
This is a once-in-a-career opportunity to build something extraordinary from the ground up. To be part of a pre-opening team that doesn't just serve guests-we create the conditions for magic to happen. For friendships to grow. For people to feel alive and present. For moments that linger long after departure.
If you're drawn to hospitality as craft, inspired by the wine country's natural beauty, energized by the challenge of opening a world-class property, and ready to help us bring the first light to Napa's newest destination-let's talk.
We're looking for collaborators who are considered in their approach, human in their interactions, and alive with curiosity. People who understand that real luxury is quality time and meaningful exchanges. Who knows that the best hospitality suggests rather than prescribes.
Ready to find your light at The Elene?
POSITION OVERVIEW
The ExecutiveChef is the culinary leader responsible for all food production, kitchen operations, and culinary team development across The Elene's multiple outlets. Reporting to the Managing Director and working in close partnership with Consulting Chef, the ExecutiveChef ensures exceptional food quality, operational excellence, financial performance, and team leadership worthy of a world-class Napa Valley property.
This position requires a sophisticated culinary professional who can execute at the highest level, lead with warmth and accountability, manage complex operations efficiently, and build a culinary team culture rooted in craft and hospitality. This is a hands-on leadership role requiring both strategic thinking and daily presence on the line.
