On-site
AT-Vienna

Your Mission, Should You Choose to Accept It 
You’re the culinary visionary ready to take our kitchens to the next level. As Executive Chef, you’ll shape menus, lead kitchen teams, and create dining experiences that people can’t stop talking about. You’ll oversee multiple outlets (restaurants, bars, cafés, and events) making sure every dish is memorable and every service runs like clockwork. Innovation is your middle name: you bring fresh ideas, seasonal inspiration, and a touch of daring to every plate. You’ll lead with energy, coaching your team to grow, collaborate, and shine. 

In Case You Don’t Know Who We Are 
Known for being the rule breakers in hospitality, TSH is a fun, creative and inspiring environment where everyone can work, stay, learn and play and most importantly – be themselves. As an employer we look, act and think like a hotel, but instead we offer a lot more. Think student accommodation, long and short stay options, gyms, talks, events, rooftop bar and eat & drink escapes as well as community and coworking spaces. Located in The Netherlands, Germany, Austria, Italy, France, Spain, Portugal, and the UK, with several new openings on the way, this hybrid hospitality concept may take root in the heart of Europe, but our plans are set for going global. 

What You’ll Do 

  • Lead and inspire your kitchen teams to create unforgettable dining experiences. 
  • Design and update menus across restaurants, bars, cafés, and event spaces. 
  • Collaborate with leadership to keep culinary offerings fresh, cohesive, and on-brand. 
  • Manage kitchen operations, from prep to service, with focus on quality, efficiency, and safety. 
  • Control costs, track food waste, and optimize inventory for maximum impact. 
  • Engage with guests, gathering feedback and tailoring experiences to delight every time. 
  • Build strong supplier relationships and source ingredients that are fresh, local, and sustainable. 

What You’ll Have 

  • You have at least 3 years as an Executive Chef or similar role in a busy, dynamic environment. 
  • You bring expertise in menu creation, kitchen management, and multi-outlet operations. 
  • You have a track record of leading teams, coaching talent, and fostering collaboration. 
  • You have strong financial acumen. Budgeting, cost control, and P&L management come naturally. 
  • You have a flair for innovation and a passion for hospitality that inspires others. 
  • You speak English and German fluently; other languages are a plus. 
  • You bring calm under pressure, decisiveness, and a hands-on, results-oriented mindset. 

What We Offer 

  • The opportunity to work at a dynamic, multi-national company. Not just another hotel - we’re a game changing innovator, challenging every convention and defining the future   
  • The opportunity to work for a Certified B Corp® company that balances profit with positive impact, collaborating with organizations like Movement on the Ground and the TSH Talent Foundation to create meaningful change   
  • The chance to learn and grow in your role with the potential for future growth   
  • Awesome discounts in all our properties in Europe and not just for you, but also for your friends and family!   
  • A wonderful workplace to call home, full of events, fun colleagues and all the other amazing salary/benefits stuff   

Who you are, is how we want you to be. To us, hybrid hospitality goes across the board, from how we service our guests to how we represent ourselves. Here, everyone belongs, and we welcome people no matter their nationality, gender, age, sexual orientation, religion or culture. Your authenticity keeps our team diverse. Come as you are.
