Senior Assistant Kitchen Manager

Join Our Team as a Senior Assistant Kitchen Manager!

Do you thrive in a high-volume kitchen where every shift is about precision, flavor, and fun? Are you a natural leader who loves coaching teams, driving results, and keeping operations running seamlessly? If so, Chicken N Pickle is looking for a Senior Assistant Kitchen Manager to help lead our Back of House crew to greatness.

In this role, you’ll work side-by-side with the Executive Kitchen Manager to guide our scratch kitchen, keep food quality top-notch, and make sure every detail—prep, orders, inventory, budgets, and safety—is dialed in.

• Support catering and event execution with the same energy and precision as daily service.
• Conduct regular performance reviews, compliance checks, and operational recaps.
• Champion Chicken N Pickle’s culture by fostering teamwork, inclusion, and recognition.
