Kitchen manager

We are looking for a skilled, motivated and independent professional to take charge of the kitchen at Kotatieva Forest Bar & Kitchen.

Kotatieva is a small, locally owned family business located in the heart of a beautiful Lapland forest, just outside Rovaniemi. Our restaurant focuses on great food, a relaxed atmosphere and locally sourced ingredients. We aim to offer our guests authentic flavours of Lapland and memorable dining experiences.

Your responsibilities will include managing the daily kitchen operations, preparing lunch and à la carte dishes, overseeing ingredient orders and inventory, and ensuring the kitchen runs smoothly in close cooperation with our Restaurant Manager.

We expect you to have previous experience in a professional kitchen, the ability to work independently and the confidence to manage kitchen operations even during busy periods. We especially value a positive attitude, teamwork and a passion for preparing high-quality food using fresh, local ingredients.

We offer you the opportunity to work in a truly unique environment as part of a small, friendly and supportive team. You will have the chance to take responsibility, contribute your own ideas and help us further develop our restaurant.

If you love cooking, enjoy taking responsibility and want to be part of creating memorable dining experiences for our guests, we'd love to hear from you!
