About the role

Hikari Miami in Surfside, Florida, seeks an Executive Chef to lead a refined Japanese kitchen (omakase/kaiseki/robata). You will own menu R&D, sourcing, fish and rice programs, and service standards while building a world-class brigade and driving food safety and financial performance. Lead the culinary team, calibrate taste daily, and collaborate on sake pairings and brand moments. This role demands at least 5–8+ years in fine dining with strong Japanese technique.

Before you apply

Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.

Your profile is current

It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.

Two examples you can talk through

Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.

A number in mind

What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.

Your notice period

Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.

Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
