EXECUTIVE CHEF - Seasonal

Mansfield Ski Club | Mulmur, Ontario Mansfield Ski Club is seeking an experienced, hands-on Executive Chef to lead our culinary operations and help shape the next chapter of food and beverage at the Club. Mansfield is a private ski club known for its strong sense of community, family atmosphere, and exceptional experiences both on and off-hill. Beginning with the 2026/27 ski season, our food and beverage operation is moving away from an outside catering company and moving completely in-house.

This change is creating an exciting opportunity for an Executive Chef to build and lead a culinary program focused on quality, consistency, efficiency, and member experience. The Opportunity

This is a leadership role for a chef who enjoys great food but also understands the business behind a successful kitchen.

The Executive

Chef will report directly to the Food & Beverage Director and work closely with the Club's management team to deliver a high-quality, consistent food experience for members and guests.

The Executive

Chef will oversee all culinary and back-of-house operations, including menu development, kitchen staffing, food quality, purchasing, inventory, food costs and execution. Our operation ranges from busy ski-day breakfasts and lunches to après ski, dinners, member functions, race events, special events and corporate functions. The ideal candidate is equally comfortable developing a menu, coaching a team, managing costs and jumping onto the line during a busy Saturday service. Key Responsibilities

Lead all kitchen and culinary operations at Mansfield Ski Club





Develop seasonal menus that balance quality, value, variety and operational efficiency

Recruit, train, schedule and lead kitchen staff

Establish recipes, portion standards and consistent food presentation

Manage purchasing, receiving, inventory and supplier relationships

Monitor food and labour costs and work within established budgets

Implement strong inventory controls and minimize food waste

Maintain high standards for food safety, cleanliness and kitchen organization

Plan and execute menus for member events, après ski, race events and private/corporate functions

Work collaboratively with the Food & Beverage Director, front-of-house team and Club management

Prepare the operation for high-volume weekends and holiday periods

Help develop the Club's food and beverage program as the in-house operation grows What We're Looking For

We are looking for a leader, not simply a great cook. The successful candidate will bring strong culinary skills along with the organization and financial discipline required to run a successful kitchen. Previous experience as an Executive Chef, Head Chef or senior Sous Chef in a high-volume restaurant,resort, private club, hotel or similar environment is preferred. Strong leadership,



menu development, purchasing and food-cost management skills are important.

Experience managing seasonal operations and significant fluctuations in volume would be an asset. As a private ski club, Mansfield’s busiest periods occur on weekends and during the holiday breaks throughout the winter season. Regular availability to work these timeframes is a requirement of this position. (The Club is closed on Christmas Day.) Why Mansfield?

This is an prospect to take ownership of a culinary program at an established private club while we bring our food and beverage operation in-house. You will have the opportunity to influence menus, systems, staffing and the overall direction of the program rather than simply stepping into an existing restaurant concept.

We offer a unique working environment, a strong member community and the opportunity to build something that becomes an important part of the Mansfield experience.
