Job Details
WE’RE LOOKING FOR A DIFFERENT KIND OF BAKER.
Copperleaf is building a kitchen team of people who want to learn, teach, experiment, take ownership, and continually get better.
We’re looking for bakers and pastry cooks — experienced professionals, early-career bakers, culinary students, and serious self-taught bakers ready to grow at the professional level.
Mindset matters more to us than where you’ve worked or what you know today.
We’re looking for people who:
→ Are perpetual students. Stay curious. Ask questions. Teach yourself. Keep learning.
→ Take ownership. Be responsible for your work, take pride in it, and make it better.
→ Teach and learn from each other. Knowledge belongs to the team, not to titles.
→ Push the envelope. Experiment. Question conventions. Don't accept “this is how it's always been done.”
→ Care deeply about excellence. Push yourself—and inspire the people around you to get better.
→ Leave ego at the door. Be open to feedback, new ideas, and changing your mind.
We want people who aren't just looking for a station to work, but something they can help build--everything from artisanal breads, to laminated pastries, cookies, cakes, and anything in between.
What you'll make: Laminated pastries, Cakes, Cookies, Scones, Pies, individual treats, and artisanal breads.
You don't need the perfect résumé. You need the right mindset.
If this sounds like the kind of kitchen you've been looking for, we'd love to meet you.
