Chef Manager

4P's Corporation is seeking an experienced culinary leader to pioneer Back-of-House operations for our first U.S. store. As the Operation Chef, you will elevate kitchen craftsmanship, oversee daily BOH execution, and build a high-performing team — including our in-house Cheese Production team — that brings the 4P's dining experience to life—rooted in our mission: Delivering WOW, Sharing Happiness – Make the World Smile for Peace.

This role blends hands-on culinary excellence, production management, operational leadership, food safety compliance, and deep collaboration with cross-functional teams. You will be a key driver in establishing U.S. standards, maintaining our artisanal pizza craftsmanship and house-made cheese program, and ensuring the smooth rollout of menu operations supported by our external R&D chefs.

As Pizza 4P's expands further in the U.S., this role is also intended to grow into a broader culinary leadership position across future locations — making this an opportunity to shape not just one kitchen, but the operating standard for our U.S. growth.
