S'more about the team

We are seeking an Executive Chef to serve as the ultimate culinary authority and Voice of the Customer for our Factor brand (factormeals.ca), a healthy, ready-to-heat meal delivery service. This is a highly strategic role where your primary focus will be on setting culinary standards while partnering with operations leadership (who maintain ownership of daily shift execution, headcount scheduling, and direct supervision). Reporting to the Site Director, you will balance food and people safety with culinary quality in a large industrial kitchen setting, operating with a high degree of collaboration across multiple departments to elevate the culinary experience.

Lettuce share what this role will be responsible for:

  • Act as the customer's advocate inside the production facility, reviewing NPS data, customer feedback, and product returns to translate insights into actionable culinary improvements.
  • Define, document, and own food quality standards across all SKUs, establishing Critical-to-Quality (CTQ) benchmarks, SOPs, and sensory evaluation protocols.
  • Conduct regular recipe verification checks on the floor to confirm execution to spec, identify recipe drift, and partner with Executive Sous Chefs to roll out corrective updates.
  • Partner with the Commercialization team on recipe scale-up, kitchen trials, and the stabilization of new products into high-volume production.
  • Proactively identify opportunities to improve product quality, reduce waste, and enhance the customer eating experience in partnership with the Continuous Improvement (CI) team.
  • Ensuring standards, checks, and methods are clearly documented, trained, and consistently applied across shifts.
  • Provide technical guidance and standards enforcement to Executive Sous Chefs and Sous Chefs to elevate culinary precision, compliance, and quality control.
  • Provide strategic culinary input into equipment investments, capacity planning, and process-design decisions.
  • Carefully manage our relationships with any co-manufacturers, ensuring a high level of collaboration with their culinary staff and leadership.
  • Ensure the kitchen operates alongside provincial and federal health and safety codes, and work in compliance with OH&S acts and regulations.
  • Other duties as assigned.

Sound a-peeling? Here's what we're looking for:

  • 5+ years’ experience in a large industrial or commissary kitchen and high-volume food preparation.
  • A Subject Matter Expert (SME) on food quality with a process-driven mentality; you track inputs and outputs diligently and rely on data to measure performance and dictate priorities.
  • Proven ability to influence without authority, lead via dotted-line reporting, and collaborate strongly across cross-functional teams.
  • Comfortable with regularly scheduled travel to our Calgary distribution centre and/or supplier sites.
  • DNA Values aligned with our culture: operating in an egoless environment, highly customer-centric, data-driven, and focused on Long-Term Outcomes (LTO).
  • Outstanding communication skills and high EQ; you adjust your communication style to different audiences, relay information effectively, and speak to employees with tact and diplomacy.
  • Comfortable with being exposed to hot, cool, and cold environments (0-30ºC) and spending long periods on your feet.
  • Chef de Cuisine Certification (CCC) preferred.

Let’s cut to the cheese, this is why you'll love it here:

  • Box Discount - Amazing discounts on 1 box per week! 75% discount on weekly HelloFresh and Chefs Plate meal kits AND 50% off weekly Factor meal box.
  • Health & Wellness - Health & Dental benefits from day 1, a Health Spending Account, unlimited access to the Headspace app to meet your self-care needs, and 25% discount on GoodLife fitness memberships!
  • RRSP Matching - Competitive RRSP matching program offered
  • Vacation & PTO - Time off is also an important part of self-care! We offer generous vacation and PTO to help you create a good work-life balance.
  • Family Benefits - A parental leave top-up program for expectant parents.
  • Growth & Development - We support your career progression, provide development opportunities, and invest in your continued learning through our organization wide L&D fund.
  • Work Hard & Have Fun - From team socials to engaging company days, you’ll have plenty of opportunity to experience the fun!
  • Diversity & Inclusion Initiatives - With impactful ERG’s like FreshPride, Women Empowered and LIMES, we are committed to our diversity, equity & inclusion efforts.
  • Food Puns - this one is kind of a big dill if you haven’t already noticed. We even have some punny meeting room names!

Working Conditions:

It’s no surprise that as a food company, we use many ingredients that may be considered common allergens (i.e. peanuts, tree nuts, milk, etc.). Whether this role is based out of our headquarters or one of our distribution centers, it is possible that you may be exposed to such allergens in this role. If you have any concerns with being exposed to any particular food ingredients, including meat, please disclose this during the hiring process.

If this sounds like you, please click the "Apply Now" button. If this role doesn't quite match what you're looking for, but you'd like to know more about joining the HelloFresh team, please visit our Jobs page to view our other vacancies. We'd love to hear from you!

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
