Chefs Assistant

Job Title

Chef’s Assistant (Remote) – Culinary Background Required

About the Role

I run a growing personal chef and culinary services company in the U.S. This is not a generic VA role.

I’m looking for a chef or culinary professional who wants to step out of the kitchen heat and into the backend of a real food business — learning how menus, logistics, clients, and systems actually work.

You will work directly with me and support the day-to-day thinking of a working chef. If you want to grow, learn, and humble yourself to mastery, this role can evolve into something very valuable long-term.

If you want to “run things” or skip learning — this is not for you.

Who This Is For

? Culinary school graduate, line cook, prep cook, or kitchen manager
? Strong English (written + spoken)
? Highly organized and detail-oriented
? Comfortable taking direction and feedback
? Wants to learn food business systems, not just complete tasks
? Calm under pressure, not easily offended
? Long-term mindset

???? Not for ego-driven chefs
???? Not for generic virtual assistants
???? Not for people who “kind of like food”

A short introduction about your culinary background

Why this role interests you outside of money

The word “MIREPOIX” somewhere in your message (so I know you read this)

Final Note

This role is for someone who wants to learn, grow, and earn trust over time.
If you’re looking for a shortcut, this isn’t it.

If you want proximity to real experience — welcome.
