Job Description

An accomplished Private Chef is sought to join the household of a distinguished gentleman residing in an exclusive private residence on Palm Jumeirah, Dubai.

This is a unique opportunity to create refined, restaurant-quality cuisine in an intimate one-to-one household, where culinary excellence, discretion, and personalised service are highly valued.

The successful chef will prepare bespoke daily menus inspired by the principal’s preferences, with particular emphasis on Iranian, Japanese, Arabic, and Egyptian cuisine. During part of the year, the principal resides in Zurich, Switzerland, and the chef may accompany him to ensure a seamless culinary experience across both residences.

This long-term position is ideal for an experienced private chef who thrives in an independent environment and enjoys delivering exceptional dining experiences tailored to a single principal.

International Travel

  • Accompany the principal to Zurich for approximately two to three months annually, when required.
  • Deliver the same exceptional culinary standards across both residences.
  • Source high-quality local ingredients while adapting menus to regional availability.

Job Requirements

  • Proven experience as a Private Chef within a luxury private residence or serving an individual principal.
  • Excellent practical knowledge of Iranian, Japanese, Arabic and Egyptian cuisine.
  • Previous experience in Michelin-level restaurants, five-star hotels or UHNW private households is highly desirable.
  • Outstanding culinary technique and exceptional attention to presentation and detail.
  • Absolute discretion, professionalism and respect for privacy.
  • Flexibility to travel internationally for extended periods.
  • Strong organisational skills and the ability to work independently.
