Executive Chef - Join the Team!

The Sheraton Valley Forge is a premier hotel owned and operated by Wurzak Hotels, an independent franchisee that operates separately from Marriott International, Inc. As a distinguished property located in the dynamic region of Valley Forge, this hotel is currently undergoing a remarkable transformation. The extensive renovation includes a completely redesigned restaurant and bar, state-of-the-art meeting and event spaces, a modern fitness center, a breathtaking lobby redesign, and a brand-new club lounge. These enhancements position the Sheraton Valley Forge as an upscale destination for both leisure and business travelers seeking luxurious accommodations and exceptional service. Wurzak Hotels as a franchisee independently manages all aspects of the hotel's employment policies, including hiring, compensation, benefits, and staffing decisions.

This is not just a kitchen leadership position but a chance to elevate the entire food and beverage experience for the hotel’s clientele. The Executive Chef will build, mentor, and energize a talented team of culinary professionals, fostering an environment of creativity, consistency, and excellence. Precision in cost management, menu development, and banquet execution are critical, as is the ability to work collaboratively with multiple departments to ensure seamless service and unforgettable dining moments that reflect the Sheraton brand’s legacy and Wurzak Hotel Group's innovative spirit. The ideal candidate will be passionate about food innovation and presentation, with a demonstrated ability to lead under pressure and thrive in a fast-paced, ever-changing environment. Creativity and adaptability are essential traits, enabling the Executive Chef to view change as an opportunity to enhance guest satisfaction and operational excellence. In addition to a competitive salary and performance incentives, the hotel offers comprehensive health benefits, a robust supplemental benefits package, and generous paid time off. Employees also enjoy a 401k plan with employer match, wellness programs addressing physical, mental, and financial health, travel discounts across Marriott’s global portfolio, and ongoing educational and professional development opportunities.
