a.k.a. our Chief First Impression

Tiny Spoon Chef  ·  Personal Chef & Culinary Services

Hi there - pull up a chair.

At Tiny Spoon Chef, we believe a great meal is one of life’s simplest joys, and we’ve built a personal chef and culinary service brand around making that joy easy to come by. From cozy weeknight dinners to once-in-a-lifetime celebrations, our chefs cook for real people, in real kitchens, with a whole lot of heart. Now we’re looking for someone to help even more people find their seat at the table.

About the Role

Every wonderful client relationship starts with a conversation - and we’d love for you to be the one having it. As our Salesperson, you’ll be the warm, knowledgeable voice that greets prospective clients, answers their questions, and helps them discover exactly the right service for their lives and their cravings.

You’ll manage inbound and outbound sales communications, nurture leads, guide prospects through the sales process, and make sure every customer feels genuinely cared for - from their very first inquiry all the way through onboarding.

You’ll thrive here if you’re highly organized, naturally personable, sales-savvy, and truly passionate about hospitality, food, and taking great care of people.
