Senior Chef de Partie (Savoury)

Restaurant JAG, Singapore

At Restaurant JAG, we believe great ideas can come from any member of the team.

We are committed to creating an environment where talent is nurtured, creativity is encouraged, and every individual has the opportunity to grow beyond their job title.

We are looking for a passionate and driven Senior Chef de Partie (Savoury) to join our young and ambitious team and play a key role in delivering the experiences that define Restaurant JAG.

This position will work directly alongside Executive Chef Laurence Tan and the wider leadership team, taking ownership of a section within the kitchen while contributing to menu development, research, and the continual pursuit of excellence.

We are seeking someone who is passionate about craft, eager to grow, and excited by the opportunity to represent Singapore through thoughtful, world-class cuisine.

Led by Executive Chef Laurence Tan (32) and General Manager Maryjoy Lim (27), our team has an average age of 30. We are united by a shared desire to learn, create, and deliver memorable experiences through seasonality, hospitality, and craftsmanship.

If you are looking for an environment where your voice is heard, your ideas are valued, and your development is taken seriously, we would love to meet you.

What You'll Be Doing

• Taking ownership of a savoury section within the kitchen and ensuring its smooth daily operation.
• Executing and maintaining the highest standards across tasting menu preparation and service.
• Supporting menu development and seasonal research initiatives.
• Working closely with Executive Chef Laurence Tan on recipe development, refinement, and execution.
• Assisting in the training, development, and mentorship of junior team members.
• Maintaining exceptional standards of organisation, cleanliness, and professionalism.
• Contributing positively to a collaborative and supportive kitchen culture.
• Participating actively in the continued evolution of the JAG guest experience.

What Makes This Role Different

At JAG, creativity is not reserved for senior management.

Following confirmation, every member of the team is encouraged and supported to develop and contribute an original dish to the guest experience. Strong performance is rewarded with increasing creative autonomy and opportunities to influence the direction of the menu.

We believe that leadership is earned through example, curiosity, and generosity of spirit rather than hierarchy alone.

You will be joining a close-knit team where mentorship, continuous learning, and professional development are valued every day.

This role offers a rare opportunity to contribute meaningfully to a restaurant recognised for its commitment to excellence, seasonality, and hospitality while accelerating your growth as a chef and future leader.

• Demonstrates strong technical ability, organisation, and attention to detail.
• Thrives in fast-paced service while maintaining composure and consistency.
• Enjoys learning and continually refining their craft.
• Brings a positive attitude and works well within a team.
• Takes pride in mentoring and supporting junior colleagues.
• Is ambitious, curious, and committed to personal growth.
• Believes that Singapore has a unique culinary voice worth sharing with the world.

This role is particularly suited to chefs seeking greater responsibility, stronger creative involvement, and a more collaborative environment than larger brigade-style kitchens can offer.

• 5-day work week.
• Sundays and Mondays off.
• Direct collaboration with Executive Chef Laurence Tan.
• Genuine opportunities for creative contribution and menu development.
• Mentorship-focused culture with clear pathways for professional growth.
