The posting

Overview

The Wilkinson Firm is expanding its hospitality division and seeking an experienced Executive Chef or Kitchen Leader to support our hotel and event venue partners across the Greenville area. This role is built for a culinary professional who can step into a fast-paced environment, lead from the front, and bring structure, consistency, and accountability to kitchen operations from day one.

If you take pride in running a tight kitchen, developing your team, and executing high-quality service under pressure, we want to talk to you.

What You'll Be Doing

  • Lead kitchen execution for banquets, events, and hospitality partner operations
  • Supervise, coach, and support kitchen staff before and during service
  • Uphold food quality, presentation, and consistency standards across every plate
  • Strengthen kitchen systems, prep flow, and back of house organization
  • Maintain food safety, sanitation, and cleanliness compliance
  • Partner directly with venue leadership to meet event and operational goals

What We Offer

  • $22 to $32 per hour, based on verifiable experience and credentials
  • Immediate placement opportunities with established hotel and event partners
  • Consistent event-based scheduling with clear growth potential
  • Exposure to high volume, high profile events across Pitt County
  • Long-term placement opportunities with partner venues based on performance
  • Ongoing hospitality training and leadership development
  • A supportive team environment with a clear leadership structure and real accountability

Qualifications

  • 3 or more years of kitchen leadership experience (Executive Chef, Sous Chef, or equivalent)
  • Banquet, catering, or hotel kitchen experience strongly preferred
  • Strong leadership, communication, and problem solving skills
  • Proven ability to perform under pressure in fast-paced environments
  • Reliable, professional, and solutions oriented

Important Note

If you are a line cook or early in your culinary career, please apply to our Cook and Event Staff roles instead. This position is specifically for experienced kitchen leaders ready to run a service.

About The Wilkinson Firm Hospitality Division

The Wilkinson Firm (TWF) operates a premium hospitality staffing division built specifically for hotels, event venues, convention centers, and high volume food and beverage operations. We are not a temp agency. We are a professional staffing partner that places experienced, vetted hospitality talent into environments where execution, presentation, and reliability matter.

Our Greenville hospitality partners currently include the Hilton, the Greenville Convention Center, and Holiday Inn, and we have publicly committed to placing 500 hires in Pitt County by the end of 2027 as part of our long-term investment in the local hospitality workforce.

What sets our hospitality division apart:

  • Premium placements only. We staff hotels, banquet operations, and event venues that expect a higher standard. Every candidate we place represents our firm and our partner brands.
  • Real vetting, real standards. Verifiable experience, professional references, and a structured interview process. We do not send unqualified people into your kitchen, and we do not put our chefs into unprofessional environments.
  • Career pathways, not just shifts. Many of our placements transition into long-term roles with our partner venues. Strong performers move into permanent leadership positions.
  • Backed by a full HR firm. Behind our hospitality division is The Wilkinson Firm's SHRM-certified HR operation, which means professional onboarding, fair pay practices, real payroll infrastructure, and a support team you can actually reach.
  • Rooted in Greenville. Our presence here is built on long-standing local relationships and a long-term commitment to Pitt County's hospitality and tourism economy.

When you work with TWF Hospitality, you are joining a firm that takes your career, your craft, and your reputation seriously.

Why it works

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.
