You want to run a kitchen that actually runs - a small, tight crew, clear systems and the freedom to cook the food you believe in, with real support behind you. At Baja you’ll lead the kitchen and shape the menu and service, while the owner and and front-of-house team back you every step of the way.

What you’ll get

• Sundays and Mondays off
• Creative input over menu, menus engineering and rostering
• A small, skilled team you’ll coach and develop
• Immediate start available
• Real room to grow: leadership opportunities as we open a new venue in 2026
• Central Fortitude Valley location

Who you are

• A proven chef with leadership experience and a reputation for consistency and flavour
• Reliable, organised and hands-on — you lead by example and lift the team
• Passionate about bold, well-executed food and improving systems and service
• Happy to accept support and collaborate with owners and FOH to deliver great nights

If you want a kitchen with autonomy and a team that actually backs you, we’d love to hear from you. Even better: drop into Baja for a taco and a chat. Immediate start for the right fit.
