About the Role:

A prestigious royal household in Doha is seeking a highly experienced and creative Head Chef to lead all culinary operations for the family and their guests. This is an exciting opportunity for a motivated and ambitious chef to make a real mark, as the kitchen has been without a Head Chef for some time. We are looking for someone ready to take the reins, drive excellence, and shape the future of the household’s dining experience.

You will be supported by an Executive Chef who knows the household well, so you will not be going in unaware. This is a chance to bring leadership, vision, and innovation to a kitchen eager for a strong guiding hand.

• Maintain exceptional hygiene and food safety protocols at all times
• Adjust meals to meet dietary restrictions, preferences, and special requests
• Lead, train, and manage junior kitchen staff if required
• Cater for formal events, special occasions, and VIP guests as needed (with flexible working hours)
• Work closely with household management to ensure seamless service and kitchen operations

What We're Looking For:

• Minimum of 5–7 years in a Head Chef or Senior Sous Chef role in a private household, luxury hotel, or fine-dining restaurant
• Minimum of 2 years Private House experience within an UHNW setting
• Mastery of various global cuisines and modern cooking techniques
• Strong leadership and organisational skills, with the ability to build and manage a cohesive kitchen team
• Adaptability and problem-solving under pressure
• High level of professionalism, discretion, and confidentiality
• Preferably fluent in English (additional languages are a plus)
• Passionate about food, innovation, and continuous improvement
• Experience with 0% waste

What We Offer:

• A unique opportunity to build your name and lead a kitchen from the ground up
• Competitive, tax-free salary
• Private accommodation provided
• All travel and relocation expenses covered
• Support from an experienced Executive Chef
• A prestigious and respectful working environment
• Exposure to diverse culinary styles and high-profile guests
