Head Chef at Novo Nordisk in Kalundborg – set the direction for gastronomy, guest experiences and a strong sense of togetherness.

Do you want to lead a canteen where love of food, good hospitality and new gastronomic ideas have room to unfold?

And are you keen to lead a kitchen team where you lift each other up, develop together and everyday do something extra for the guests?

Then it might be you we are looking for as our new head of kitchen.

A canteen with love of food and strong sense of community

At Novo Nordisk in Kalundborg we cook from scratch using the season's best ingredients, with focus on taste, quality and inviting presentations.

We provide lunch, evening service and catering for meetings and events – always with the aim of giving guests a good dining experience.

You will become part of a kitchen community where skilled culinary craft, positive energy and strong camaraderie shape daily life. We help each other with the day's tasks, share ideas and are proud of what we create together.

At the same time, we have close collaboration across the canteens at Novo Nordisk. Here we share experiences, brainstorm new ideas and lend a hand when needed.

You set the direction – together with your team

As head of kitchen you will have overall responsibility for a busy and exciting canteen operation, where gastronomy, people and guest experiences are at the center.

You lead from the kitchen, inspire your colleagues and create space for new ideas that can develop the gastronomic offer. At the same time you have an eye for both taste, presentation and the good hospitality that makes guests come back.

You also take on the responsibility to create structure and good workflows in daily life – from menu planning and purchasing to finances, invoicing and self-checks.

An important part of your role will be to bring the team together, create job satisfaction and bring each employee's strengths into play. For with us we believe that the best guest experiences start with a kitchen team that thrives and succeeds together.

Who are you?

• Dare to think anew when it comes to taste, quality and presentation
• Have a strong operational overview and can create structure in a busy daily life
• Put guests at the center and have an eye for the small details that make a good experience even better

The most important thing is that you want to develop both people and food – and create a canteen that both guests and staff speak positively about.
