Description
A kitchen with character. And room to add your own personal touch.
Gut Sonnberghof | Mittersill | 4*S Nature Hotel
We’re not just looking for someone to run our kitchen.
We’re looking for someone who takes joy in developing a kitchen, leading a team, and creating their own culinary signature using exceptional ingredients.
The Gut Sonnberghof is a family-run 4*S nature hotel nestled in the Salzburg mountains, featuring 59 rooms and suites, a spacious wellness area, and its own organic farm.
Our cuisine is rooted in our local heritage yet open to the world. We welcome modern interpretations of traditional dishes—down-to-earth, light-hearted, and with a commitment to always putting flavor first.
That’s why we’re looking for you as
HEAD CHEF (m/f/d)
What makes our cuisine special?
Many of our ingredients haven’t traveled far.
The milk from our Pinzgau cows is processed into our own cheese. Meat from our farm finds its way into our kitchen. Our herb garden is home to around 4,000 plants and about 80 different varieties of herbs, which we use to make syrups, herb salts, and smoking blends, among other things.
We also source carefully selected products from local producers and suppliers.
We don’t just want to use this variety—we want to turn it into a cuisine with character.
We have the ingredients. We have the setting.
Now we’re looking for the person who will turn all of this into a distinctive culinary experience.
If you’re not just looking for the next chef position, but for a place where you can create something and leave your mark, then we should get to know each other.

Requirements
Who We're Looking For
You are an experienced chef who has successfully worked for several years as a head chef in the upscale hotel or restaurant industry. You have solid leadership experience and know how to confidently lead a kitchen team, both professionally and personally.
You’re open to feedback. Instead of looking for problems, you look for solutions, and you treat your team and colleagues with respect, reliability, and as equals.
You’re well-organized, keep a clear head even during busy moments, and understand that exceptional cuisine can only be achieved with a great team.
At the same time, you have a passion for high-quality ingredients and don’t want to simply replicate pre-determined dishes— you want to contribute your own ideas, help shape the menu, and be an active part of the creative process.
