Founded in 1964, Old Baldy is a private destination club nestled in Wyoming's Platte Valley, between the Sierra Madre and Snowy Range mountains.

Dining ranges from casual Club favorites to refined dining, private gatherings, and special events.

The Opportunity

The Executive Chef will lead an experienced culinary team and oversee a busy three-meal kitchen, including private dining, club events, poolside service, and in-room dining.

• Culinary degree or equivalent professional experience.
• Strong leadership, communication, and financial management skills.
• A genuine appreciation for Member relationships and personalized hospitality.
