Executive Chef – Moat Mountain Brewing Co.
Location: North Conway, NH • Live, Work & Play in the Mount Washington Valley
Moat Mountain Brewing Co., a long-standing staple in North Conway, NH, is embarking on an exciting evolution. We are rebranding toward a true gastropub experience — pairing exceptional craft beer with elevated, chef-driven cuisine — and we’re seeking a hands-on Executive Chef to lead the culinary vision.
This is not just another kitchen leadership position. It's a pivotal role in the next chapter of our company, including our long-term plan to transition to an Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP). The right candidate will be essential in that journey — and rewarded for it.
