Job Position: Pastry Chef Job in USA – Visa Sponsorship Available

Company: hyatt

Salary: $70,000–$80,000 annually

Location: Big Sur, CA, USA

Imagine waking up every day in Big Sur, surrounded by redwoods and the Pacific Ocean, and doing what you love most — creating incredible pastries that wow people. At Ventana Big Sur, an Alila Resort, that’s exactly what we’re offering.

We’re looking for a Pastry Chef to take the lead in our pastry kitchen. This isn’t just about running production — it’s about bringing creativity, leadership, and heart to a team that thrives on making memorable food experiences. You’ll be working with local, seasonal ingredients, designing desserts that reflect the beauty of Big Sur, and inspiring a small team to do their best work.

What you’ll be doing

• Designing seasonal desserts, breads, and pastries that look beautiful and taste even better
• Leading and mentoring our pastry team (we’re big on teamwork and creativity)
• Keeping things running smoothly in the kitchen — schedules, orders, cost control, and food safety
• Partnering with the rest of the culinary and service teams to make events and dining experiences special
• Sometimes stepping out to meet guests for pastry demos or classes (yes, people love this part!)

What we offer

• Salary: $70,000 – $80,000 a year (depending on experience)
• Hyatt perks: discounted/free hotel stays worldwide, wellness support, paid time off, healthcare, retirement plans, and more
• Alila team perks: free daily meals and even a gas stipend if you qualify
• Most importantly: a chance to live and work in Big Sur, where the environment inspires everything we do

What we’re looking for

• 3–5 years of pastry leadership in a fine-dining, resort, or luxury hotel setting
• Strong pastry skills, creativity, and attention to detail
• Someone who can manage both small daily production and large-scale events
• A leader who supports and inspires their team (and keeps calm when things get busy)
• Culinary or pastry degree is a plus, but passion and skill matter most
• Willingness to work flexible shifts (mornings, evenings, weekends, holidays)
• Ability to lift up to 50 lbs and stand for long stretches in the kitchen

We welcome international candidates and are happy to consider sponsorship for the right person.
