THE ROLE
Legends is seeking a dynamic, hospitality-driven Executive Chef to lead culinary operations at The Cowboys Club — an exclusive, invitation-only private club and restaurant located inside The Star, the world headquarters of the Dallas Cowboys. This is a rare opportunity to build a signature culinary program for one of the most iconic brands in professional sports, in a setting where members gather to socialize, unwind, and entertain against the backdrop of Cowboys history and tradition.
The Executive Chef will own the full culinary vision for the Club — from concept and menu development to daily execution — setting the standard for a dining experience worthy of the Cowboys name. This is a hands-on leadership role for a chef who thrives on creativity, precision, and building a team culture rooted in excellence. The Executive Chef reports directly to the General Manager and partners closely with Legends' broader culinary leadership team.

Lead, inspire, and develop a high-performing culinary team to consistently exceed budgetary, quality, and member service expectations.
Create and innovate recipes, dishes, and menus that elevate the member dining experience and keep the culinary program fresh and exciting.
Drive full people leadership — hiring, scheduling, training, mentoring, and performance management — to build a strong, motivated team.
Maximize resources — time, labor, and materials — adjusting methodologies to keep operations efficient without compromising quality.
Partner on forecasting and scheduling to ensure the kitchen is always staffed and set up for success.
Conduct regular quality and cleanliness inspections across all back-of-house areas, ensuring equipment is maintained and operations run smoothly.
Manage food, labor, and other costs to stay within budgeted targets.

Other duties as assigned.
