In this role, you will take full ownership of a newly built, modern kitchen and oversee a dynamic food program serving 350+ people daily across breakfast, lunch, and dinner. You will lead a team of 10 kitchen professionals and design a global rotating cuisine that delivers both variety and consistently high quality. 

This is a unique opportunity to shape a food experience from the ground up in a fast-paced environment where dining is central to company culture, combining creativity, operational excellence, and scale.

  • Lead all day-to-day kitchen operations, ensuring excellence in food quality, consistency, and service
  • Define and execute a global rotating menu strategy, delivering diverse and engaging culinary experiences
  • Design seasonal, ingredient-driven menus using high-quality, locally sourced products where possible

  • Oversee and enforce the highest standards of food safety, hygiene, and compliance
  • Implement and manage HACCP processes and food safety systems
  • Own food cost control, inventory management, supplier relationships, and ordering processes
  • Drive initiatives around sustainability, waste reduction, and responsible sourcing
  • Recruit, lead, and develop a team of 10 kitchen professionals, including scheduling and performance management
  • Plan and execute 2-3 major company events annually, alongside ongoing internal catering needs
  • Collaborate with cross-functional stakeholders to ensure food remains a core part of the workplace experience
  • 10+ years of senior kitchen leadership experience, P&L ownership, and leading diverse teams
  • Proven experience managing high-volume food operations
  • Strong background in global or multi-cuisine environments and menu development
  • Demonstrated ownership of P&L for a food operation of meaningful scale
  • Experience leading and developing diverse kitchen teams
  • Food Safety & Hygiene certification (minimum Level 3 equivalent)
  • Hands-on experience with HACCP implementation
  • Strong understanding of local food safety regulations in Turkey (ISO 22000 is a plus)
  • Excellent leadership, organizational, and communication skills
  • Monday-Friday working pattern
  • Opportunity to lead a new, fully equipped kitchen
  • Ability to shape and own a high-impact culinary program from the ground up
  • High level of creative freedom in menu design and food strategy
  • A culture where food is treated as a central part of the employee experience, not a support function
