Head Sushi Chef

Build the restaurant you want to run.

Sekka is a new sushi restaurant opening in Stowe, Vermont, in May 2027. We're looking for the chef who runs it: a head chef running a counter now, or a sous chef or #2 at a serious counter who is ready for one of their own.

The job
- Run the kitchen: the ten-seat sushi counter, dinner in the dining room, sushi to go, and the bar bites for Whereabouts, the bar next door.
- Write the menu, choose the fish and the suppliers, and hire and train your line.
- Shape the build: the counter, the wood, the knives, and the dishware.

You
- Years behind an edomae or omakase counter, as a sous chef, #2, or head chef.
- Cut fish and make rice you're proud of every night.
- Want to lead a small, excellent kitchen, not a big one.

Pay
$85,000 to $100,000 a year, plus a bonus, health insurance, paid time off, help with the move, and a housing stipend.

Stowe
A small mountain town under Vermont's highest peak: trails, rivers, and farms out the door. 45 minutes from Burlington's airport, 2½ hours to Montreal, and 3½ hours to Boston.

Starts
March 2027, two months before we open. We're choosing our chef in January.
