About Tim Ma Hospitality

We believe that hospitality is a radical act. Founded by Chef Tim Ma, our group is built on the idea that great food should be accessible, meaningful, and deeply rooted in the communities we serve. From Michelin-recognized fine dining to high-volume Chinese-American takeout, our portfolio is diverse, but our mission is singular: to build restaurants that have a soul.

We aren't a corporate machine; we are a collection of chefs, creators, and hospitality professionals who care about the "why" as much as the "what." We’re a DC-based team with national recognition, but we stay grounded by investing in our people and building spaces where our team can grow, lead, and build a career they are proud of.

The Role 

The Junior Sous Chef is the "Rising Leader." This is a transitional role for our most talented Lead Line Cooks who are ready to step into management. You are responsible for maintaining the standards of the line while beginning to take on the administrative and leadership responsibilities of a Sous Chef.

What You’ll Own

• Station & Service: Act as a "swing" cook who can master any station on the line, while also beginning to learn how to manage the "Pass."
• Prep Oversight: Assist in managing the prep team, ensuring that recipes are followed and stations are stocked.
• Quality Control: Help the Sous Chefs audit station setups and taste components daily to ensure consistency.
• Opening/Closing: Take ownership of opening or closing duties, ensuring the kitchen starts and ends the day in perfect condition.

Who You Are

• Advanced line cook experience with a desire to move into management.
• A team player with a strong work ethic and a "student of the craft" mentality.
• Highly organized and reliable.

What We Offer

• Competitive hourly rate or salary.
• Health benefits.
• Specific "Manager-in-Training" mentorship and dining privileges.
