EXECUTIVE CHEF - Holiday Inn Saskatoon Downtown

Who You Are

You're not just a chef - you're a mentor, a motivator, and a creator. You believe that great food starts with great people, and you take pride in developing those around you. You lead with a calm, steady hand and understand that a kitchen thrives on respect, teamwork, and passion - not pressure.

We're looking for a culinary professional who brings integrity, creativity, and emotional intelligence to the table - someone who takes ownership, inspires others, and leads by example.

Why You'll Love Working With Us

At the Holiday Inn Saskatoon Downtown, passion drives performance. We're a property powered by people who love what they do and who work best when they feel supported, trusted, and empowered.

We don't just serve guests - we create memorable experiences. Our kitchen team is talented, close-knit, and eager for a leader who values collaboration, innovation, and personal growth. We offer a creative and supportive workspace designed to help you succeed in your craft and your career.

Our purpose is simple: to create a better every day for everyone - our guests, our team, and our community.

What You'll Do

As Executive Chef, you'll take the lead in all things culinary - from menu innovation and banquet service to training, culture, and cost control. You'll nurture talent, elevate the guest experience, and ensure that every plate leaving your kitchen represents our brand with pride.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Lead, train, and mentor the culinary team to deliver excellence in both food quality and guest experience.
  • Design innovative, seasonal menus that reflect creativity, efficiency, and brand alignment.
  • Inspire and develop your team through coaching and positive leadership - growing skills, confidence, and cohesion.
  • Manage budgets, inventory, and food/labour costs with an eye for efficiency and consistency.
  • Maintain a spotless focus on safety, sanitation, and presentation standards.
  • Collaborate with hotel leadership to drive catering and banquet growth opportunities.
  • Personally engage in service during key functions and events to ensure a consistent guest experience.
  • Oversee equipment maintenance, procurement, and compliance documentation.

Reporting To: General Manager

What You Bring

  • 3–5 years of progressive culinary leadership in a full-service restaurant or hotel kitchen.
  • Proven success in leading, training, and motivating diverse teams.
  • A calm, professional leadership style that builds trust and respect.
  • Strong business acumen with an understanding of budgets, inventory, and cost control.
  • Creativity in menu design and a passion for staying current with culinary trends.
  • Excellent interpersonal and communication skills — you know how to connect with people.
  • Valid Food Handler Certificate.
  • Flexibility to work varied shifts (days, nights, weekends, holidays).
  • Strong computer literacy (Word, Excel, PowerPoint).

What We Offer

  • Competitive salary and performance incentives.
  • Comprehensive benefits package (medical, dental, vision, LTD).
  • Complimentary heated parking.
  • Monthly cell phone and dry-cleaning allowances.
  • Global IHG employee room discounts (6,000+ destinations worldwide).
  • Accommodated scheduling for work-life balance.
  • Continuous professional development opportunities - we invest in your growth.
  • Monthly employee appreciation celebrations - because our people are our success.
