Job Description Innovative Pastry Chef for Boston Food Innovation lab 

Job Description: Confectionary Product Developer                                                                                                                  

Chew is looking for a supremely talented Confectionary/Pastry chef, who is seeking a career outside of restaurants and wants to re-innovate the candy and chocolate industry. Chew is a once in a lifetime opportunity to combine culinary talent and the mindset of a food entrepreneur. We take ideas, innovate products then either partner with some of the worlds largest and most respected food companies, or we create new companies around these products. Learn first hand what happens when you combine world class Chefs and highly skilled food scientists under one roof. We are looking for highly skilled, technical confectionery/pastry trained Chef, with additional experience in chocolate, in the position of Confectionary Product Developer. This is a great opportunity for someone who thinks outside of the box and is extremely technical and trained in both traditional and modern cookery and enjoys being a part of an exciting company in the early stages of formation.

ABOUT CHEW
We believe that marketing should flow from food, not food from marketing. At Chew, we let food lead our product development. We believe that great ideas don’t come from confusing what has been done, with what can be done. Our culinary first approach is going to be the new normal in the world of CPG; the approach starts with our culinary team innovating delicious products while at the same time using our food scientists to make them stable, safe and consistent. This radical difference in approach is creating waves in the food and beverage industry already and we are generating a lot of potentially industry changing momentum. Too often consumer products are developed with a one dimensional goal; make the most profitable product with the lowest cost by any means possible. In these instances, integrity, quality and health come secondarily at best, taking a backseat to a higher profit margin. At Chew, we swim against the current of such business principles, instead believing that it’s possible to create great tasting food products with only ingredients you understand and without breaking the bank or compromising our environment while doing so……………………….Impossible?  That’s what we like to hear! 

THE IDEAL CANDIDATE

The successful applicant must be self-motivated and have the ability to push independently led projects without constant direction. The ideal candidate must also be extremely self critical and be able to set a higher bar than anyone else outside of the project.

You must be well experienced in classic confectionary/pastry as well as progressive confectionary techniques. Above all, the candidate must have an unparalleled passion and love of food, this includes a good grasp on current/relevant food trends in savory as well as sweet. We are in the consumer packaged goods industry (Packaged food), so a deep love and sense of responsibility is essential here, we are trying to change the world, but this must start with ourselves.
