is exempt Accepting Applications through December 30th, 2025 or until filled WHO WE ARE Hotels done differently. It's not just a slogan or catchphrase, it is who we are in everything we do. We believe in the power of People, Place and Character; ensuring our properties are a place where individuals are valued and celebrated as a tribute to the neighborhoods and the people of the communities in which we operate; elevating our associates' pride in who they are, where they live and who we serve.
Populus is managed by Aparium Hotel Group which was founded in 2011. Aparium saw a clear need for a company that could bring c-suite service and accommodations to underserved, yet distinct and important cities, while maintaining and celebrating the unadulterated character of each. Driven by the belief that all hospitality experiences should be fueled by the poetics of their surroundings, Aparium was born with an intense focus on unearthing the amazing moments unique to every city.
Since its founding, Aparium has grown into a new kind of hotel brand, one that ventures off the beaten path, both geographically and philosophically. It is a sophisticated hotel brand known for its singular ability to combine the business acumen of large hospitality companies with the charm of boutique hotels, bringing the disparate forces together in bustling, smaller markets.
WHO YOU ARE
Your past experiences have led you to understand that there is an art + science to the how and what a hospitality operation professional is responsible for. Your balance of creative and organizational skills allows you to be both an artist as well as an air traffic controller. You are an intrinsically motivated individual who finds fulfillment in a full dining room with happy guests. You have the utmost respect for the ingredients and the process, striving to work directly with local farmers and artisans to obtain your ingredients at their height of freshness and peak of flavor. You understand the critical role you play in the hotel's financial strategy and have a history of achieving cost effective solutions to daily kitchen management without sacrificing quality.
You are a self-starter and appreciate you are given the opportunity to build the business plan and take that responsibility seriously. You enjoy the "business" side of your role and enjoy teaching others what you know. You know every line item in the P&L and understand the levers to impact them.
You are highly self-reflective and take lessons learned and best practices with you to apply them in your daily actions. You continually find ways to partner with your peers to identify a better way of doing things and have the grit and tenacity to see it through.
THE ROLE
The Executive Chef reports to the General Manager and leads menu planning and development, while overseeing the culinary operation. It is critical that you possess a strong background and knowledge of culinary technique related to the F+B concept(s) for the hotel, and your presence on the floor is as regular as it is in the kitchen. Creating efficiencies and ensuring consistency in the kitchen operation is key, as you are the last line of defense for the menu items you create. You will develop strategies to heighten productivity and control menu costs, adjusting production to meet business levels. You inspire the team through your creative, innovative, and collaborative approach-you understand that the ability to act as a soldier is as critical as being a general. Having the skills to mentor and teach your team of culinarians is a must for this position, as is demonstrating humility and genuine care for the items you create and the individuals who execute upon them.
At Aparium, our culinary teams are expected to hold themselves, the guests, and each other in high regard. You will actively develop trusting and transparent relationships with your peers on the Executive Committee and all associates throughout the hotel. You will have the opportunity to work with a phenomenal group of individuals with whom collaboration, humbleness, and open-minds are the norm-no egos are allowed. The ability to work with controlled measure and respect for your leadership team and peers is imperative; we have a no-tolerance policy for the "old school way".

* Actively drive recruitment, training, scheduling, supervising, coaching, and motivation of all culinary associates in order to create an environment that nurtures ideas and develops future talent for succession planning in the culinary program
* Observe conditions of all physical facilities and equipment in the culinary operation, working in collaboration with the engineering department and any third-party vendors to make corrections and improvements as needed
* Communicate regularly with the General Manager to provide updates, discuss plans, communicate needs, and align on priorities, understanding that flexibility with your responsibilities is paramount to support a successful operation
HOW YOU WILL LEAD
