  • Lead budgeting, procurement, vendor management, and cost engineering with an emphasis on sustainable sourcing and inventory control.
  • Develop and implement comprehensive SOPs for all culinary operations including mise en place workflows, hygiene standards (FSSAI/HACCP compliance), recipe documentation, and plating standards.

Team Building & People Development

  • Partner with design and product teams to co-create tableware, uniforms, packaging, and visual identity aligned with culinary aesthetics.
  • Collaborate with the spa, wellness, and programming teams to develop cuisine that complements retreats, detox plans, and special wellness events.

Sustainability & Innovation

  • Champion zero-waste kitchen practices, seasonal and local procurement models, and energy-efficient equipment usage.
  • Incorporate slow food principles and indigenous ingredients into menu design.
  • Contribute to Nimaya's sustainability reporting by tracking food waste, local sourcing metrics, and carbon impact from operations.

Ideal Candidate Profile
