Gather Jackson Hole is looking for a sharp, seasoned Executive Sous Chef to run the kitchen alongside our Executive Chef. This is a hands-on leadership role in a high-volume, fast-paced restaurant known for its commitment to quality, creativity, and hospitality excellence.

If you thrive under pressure, take pride in consistency, and have the leadership skills to hold a kitchen together when it counts — we want to talk.

About Us Gather Jackson Hole is part of Gather Restaurant Group, a growing multi-concept hospitality group operating in Jackson Hole, WY and beyond. Our cuisine is Modern Eclectic — bold flavors, intentional technique, and a commitment to sourcing and execution that keeps guests coming back. Jackson Hole is one of the most unique and dynamic restaurant markets in the country, and we're building something worth being part of.

The Role As Executive Sous Chef, you will be the second in command of the kitchen — responsible for daily operations, team leadership, event execution, and maintaining the standards that define us.

Key responsibilities include leading and managing the line during service, training and developing BOH staff, overseeing prep systems, supporting inventory and ordering, executing private events and group dining, stepping in as the kitchen lead in the Executive Chef's absence, and supporting food cost and labor management.
