About the Opportunity:

We’re looking for a passionate and creative Chef to join a growing healthy food venture based in Dubai. This is not your typical kitchen role — it’s an opportunity to be part of a concept that’s redefining how nutritious food can also be full of flavor, fun, and cultural variety.

You’ll be joining an ambitious team that values innovation, purpose, and quality. Together, we’re on a mission to bring healthy, wholesome meals to life — meals inspired by Middle Eastern, Asian, African, and international cuisines, all made with fresh, natural ingredients and crafted for real taste and balance.

What You’ll Do:

• Develop and test healthy, flavorful recipes using fresh, high-quality ingredients.
• Experiment with global cuisines to create a diverse and exciting menu.
• Oversee food preparation, presentation, and storage while maintaining top hygiene and quality standards.
• Manage kitchen operations, ingredient sourcing, and stock levels.
• Work closely with a small, collaborative team to bring new ideas to life.
• Ensure full compliance with Dubai Municipality food safety and hygiene regulations.

Who You Are:

• A qualified Chef with a culinary degree or equivalent experience.
• Experienced in creating healthy, clean, and balanced meals.
• Knowledgeable about nutritional value, portioning, and food safety.
• Creative, organized, and enthusiastic about trying new things.
• A strong communicator who thrives in a startup or fast-paced environment.
• Familiar with HACCP and Dubai Municipality certification standards.

Why Join Us:

• Be part of an exciting new concept with a meaningful purpose.
• Work in a creative, supportive environment that values innovation.
• Grow with the company as it expands its reach and product range.
