About Nura
Nura creates high-end events, parties, and gatherings designed as complete, immersive experiences.
Our events bring together music, food, and—above all—atmosphere. We aim to create something
magical: a warm, familial, comfortable environment where guests feel both elevated and at ease.
Our food is high-end rustic—carefully thought out, deeply flavorful, and prepared with intention. Our
style is rooted in catering rather than restaurant service: prep-heavy, meticulous, and disciplined, with
plating and service kept intentionally simple and unpretentious.
The Position
We are currently looking to hire a Chef to lead day-to-day kitchen operations for events and prep days.
This is a hands-on leadership role combining cooking, organization, and team management.
The chef is responsible for overseeing a kitchen team of approximately three to five cooks, assigning
tasks, guiding execution, maintaining standards, and ensuring a calm, respectful kitchen environment.
Reporting & Direction: This role works beneath an Executive Chef. The Executive Chef sets the
culinary direction, creates and develops menus, and defines standards and systems. The Chef is
responsible for executing that vision on the ground—taking clear direction, receiving updates and
refinements over time, and turning to the Executive Chef with questions, insights, or clarifications as
needed. This role requires someone who can both lead confidently and take direction with openness
and professionalism.
What’s Important to Understand
As mentioned, the environment we create for our guests begins with our team. The chef plays a central
role in setting tone, rhythm, and standards in the kitchen while remaining aligned with the broader
vision. We are looking for someone who leads with steadiness, clarity, and respect, and who
understands that strong execution comes from both technical skill and thoughtful collaboration.
This role requires someone who communicates clearly; gives and receives feedback constructively;
works comfortably within structured systems; values consistency, precision, and repetition; and takes
responsibility for the performance and well-being of the team.
Our Approach to Team & Growth
At Nura, we believe that how we care for our team shapes everything we create. We strive to support
our people, look out for one another, and build a workplace where individuals feel respected,
appreciated, and genuinely cared for. This philosophy is reflected both in how we treat our team and in
how we approach compensation.
Chefs who bring presence, accountability, and pride in their work often grow with us over time and may
take on broader responsibility as Nura evolves. We are looking for someone who sees this role not only
as a job, but as a position of trust within a larger creative structure.
