The Role

Step into a Chef role where your ideas are heard, your growth is supported, and your contributions count. The headline is $86,000 - $126,000, but the story is ownership — general work you steer at Public Policy Institute after just 3 years.

Key Responsibilities

  • Field curveballs from Escondido clients without losing the thread
  • Map the handoffs between CA teams so nothing falls in the cracks
  • Document the why, not just the what, behind every Customer Service decision
  • Push back, respectfully, when a Kitchen Management shortcut will cost us later
  • Spot the Escondido pattern in feedback before it becomes a complaint
  • Translate mid-level objectives into concrete, actionable day-to-day steps

What You'll Bring

  • Meticulous attention to detail across every deliverable
  • A teammate's instinct to unblock others before yourself
  • Real proficiency with Public Speaking, plus willingness to learn Banquet Operations fast
  • 5 or more years steering general projects end to end
  • Familiarity with Event Planning and related tools or frameworks

For all its results-oriented ambition, Public Policy Institute still operates like the scrappy Escondido startup that first cracked general years ago. Every voice in the CA office gets airtime, especially the ones still finding their volume.

Lead with the number, $86,000 - $126,000, then add a growth track, a mentor, full benefits, and hours that bend toward your Escondido life.

We stamped it current today; the contract opening is genuinely accepting candidates.

Whatever brought you to this listing, let it carry you all the way to the apply form.
