Job description
Employment: Full-time Please note: Only UK-based applicants will be considered, and only those able to travel daily to South London where the studio is based. About the Role Our team is growing, and we’re looking for a Development Chef to join us at Good Food Studio to manage our pipeline of development work for our diverse client base, which includes FMCG brands, restaurants, casual dining groups, and QSRs. As part of our development team, you’ll manage projects and development plans for client briefs — working across innovative ideas, inspirational food, and process efficiencies. We’re looking for an experienced chef with a minimum of 3 years’ experience in trendy restaurants in London. The ideal candidate will be comfortable managing a section in a busy kitchen, confident in food presentation, and eager to develop a commercial understanding of product development. Our studio is based in Camberwell (SE5), and you’ll also spend time on-site with clients to help implement projects, run tastings, and troubleshoot as required. What You Need to Have * Minimum 3 years of relevant experience in a professional kitchen environment. * Serious computer skills – we use a wide range of software and online systems, and catching up fast will be crucial. * Experience in FMCG (not essential but a bonus). * Level 3 Award in Food Hygiene. * Valid driving licence (access to a car is a plus, as some national travel may be required). * Background in culinary arts or food science. * Excellent written and verbal communication skills. What You’ll Be Doing and Learning at GFS * Assisting in projects end-to-end, learning from our experienced team. * Conducting market and trend research, with strong technical, formatting, and presentation skills. * Researching and presenting insights relevant to client briefs. * Applying commercial understanding to cost engineering, menu development, and analytical recipe writing. * Sourcing and liaising with ingredient suppliers, negotiating best prices and specifications. * Developing menus and recipes in line with client briefs and nutritional guidelines. * Using our recipe system to create dishes that meet strict nutritional and operational criteria. * Producing training materials and specifications, and assisting in setting up training plans for new projects. * Helping to formulate briefs and assist in client pitches — a client-facing role with exposure to high-level presentations and tenders. * Maintaining day-to-day upkeep of the development kitchen, ensuring it’s well-stocked and presentable. * Embracing a proactive attitude — no task is “not my job.” Additional Information We launch and manage businesses and projects across varied client schedules, so flexibility is key. You can expect some evening or weekend work, and occasional national travel. #J-18808-Ljbffr
