Original job description

The Temporary Chef supports Vanderbilt University’s Catering and Events team by providing skilled culinary support for short-term assignments and specialty events. This role is designed to provide flexible, high-level culinary expertise based on event and operational needs, including special programs, high-profile events, peak periods, and other temporary assignments.

Working in partnership with Catering and Events culinary leadership, the Temporary Chef assists with menu preparation and execution, food production, presentation, and event service while maintaining Vanderbilt’s standards for quality, consistency, food safety, and guest experience. Assignments may vary in length, schedule, and scope based on business needs and may require evening, weekend, or holiday availability.

The ideal candidate is an experienced culinary professional who can quickly adapt to different event environments, work effectively with established culinary teams, and independently execute assigned responsibilities in a fast-paced, service-oriented setting. This position requires strong culinary skills, attention to detail, flexibility, and the ability to deliver a high-quality experience for a wide range of university events and guests.

At Vanderbilt University , our work - regardless of title or role - is in service to an important and noble mission in which every member of our community serves in advancing knowledge and transforming lives on a daily basis. Located in Nashville, Tennessee, on a 330+ acre campus and arboretum dating back to 1873, Vanderbilt is proud to have been named as one of “America’s Best Large Employers” as well as a top employer in Tennessee and the Nashville metropolitan area by Forbes for several years running. We welcome those who are interested in learning and growing professionally with an employer that strives to create, foster and sustain opportunities as an employer of choice.

We understand you have a choice when choosing where to work and pursue a career. We understand you are unique and have a story. We want to hear it. We encourage you to apply today so that you might become a part of our story.
