Sous Chef

The Chatham Inn , Cape Cod’s only Relais & Châteaux and Forbes Five-Star hotel, is a luxurious boutique hotel with 18 guest rooms that blends the soul of a historic inn with modern decor and amenities, along with Cuvee, our fine dining restaurant and wine bar. Named as one of the Top 20 Hotels for Best Service in the United States and Top 20 Most Romantic Hotels in the United States, Chatham Inn Relais & Châteaux has been rated the #1 Hotel in Chatham, #1 on Cape Cod, Top 50 Hotels in the United States, one of the Top 1% of all Hotels in the World, and one of only 340 Forbes Five-Star hotels in the world.

Cuvée Bistro at The Chatham Inn is evolving into a relaxed, approachable coastal bistro with Mediterranean and French influences. We are moving away from a traditional fine-dining model toward something more vibrant, welcoming, and community-driven — while maintaining the polish and standards expected of a Relais & Châteaux and Forbes-recognized property.

We are seeking a highly skilled and motivated Sous Chef to join our dynamic culinary team. The ideal candidate will have extensive experience in fine dining, banquet service, and restaurant management, with a strong background in food preparation, kitchen operations, and team leadership. This role offers an exciting opportunity to contribute to a prestigious establishment known for exceptional cuisine and outstanding service. The Sous Chef will support the Executive Chef in overseeing daily kitchen activities, ensuring high standards of food quality, safety, and efficiency, working closely with our Corporate Chef & F&B teams.
