RUN YOUR OWN KITCHEN. NO NIGHTS. NEW SITE.

Your first kitchen to lead, with real backing behind you.

About the role

You’ve run sections, covered the pass & stepped up when the sous was off. You’re ready to lead a kitchen of your own and you want to do it properly, with someone in your corner while you find your feet.

We’re opening a new Baker Bleu in Bondi in the new year, and we need a Kitchen Lead to run its kitchen. You’ll start full-time in our Double Bay kitchen, learning our product, systems and standards inside out, then help open Bondi and make it yours. You’ll report to our Multi-Site Head Chef, who’ll back you day to day as you grow into the role.

What you’ll be doing

Running the kitchen day to day: production, ordering, stocktakes, rosters, food safety, and leading the team from the front. Holding the standard on everything that leaves the kitchen. Building a team in a brand-recent site and setting the culture from day one.





Who we’re after A strong CDP or junior sous ready for the next step. You lead by example, you care about consistency as much as flavour, and people want to work alongside you. You don’t need to have run a kitchen before. You need to want to, and be ready to learn how. Pastry or bakery exposure is a bonus, not a must.

Why Baker Bleu

No night shifts, ever. Premium product made with care. Full training before you open, and a manager who’s invested in you succeeding. Five kitchens across Sydney and Melbourne with more on the way, and a clear path from Kitchen Lead to Multi-Site Head Chef. A professional team that actually develops its people.
