Executive Chef

We're opening the doors to a brand-new, two-level venue on Fremantle's iconic Fishing Boat Harbour, and we're looking for a visionary Executive Chef to lead the culinary direction across two distinct kitchens:

• Cherub Hall – the heartbeat of our brand, serving bold, beer-friendly fare that celebrates local produce and community spirit. 
• The Loft by Little Creatures & Co – a refined, Asian-inspired experience built around a wood-fired grill, where fire meets finesse. 

This is a rare opportunity to shape two unique culinary identities in a venue designed to be a landmark destination for locals and visitors alike. 

About the Venue: 
Part of a $10 million transformation celebrating Little Creatures' 25th anniversary, the new Fremantle site at 42 Mews Road offers panoramic waterfront views, immersive dining experiences, and a vibrant atmosphere that blends Fremantle's coastal and industrial heritage.

• Strong leadership and team development skills 
• Deep understanding of modern Australian and Asian cuisine, with a flair for wood-fired cooking 
• Passion for local ingredients, sustainability, and innovation 
• Excellent organisational and communication skills
