Reports To : Chief Operating Officer

Location : Charlotte, NC (Intercity travel : Lower Southend, Ballantyne, Mount Holly, and Cornelius)

Join OMB — Where Craft, Culture, and Culinary Excellence Meet

As Charlotte's original independent brewery and a nationally recognized destination—voted USA Today's Best Biergarten in America—The Olde Mecklenburg Brewery (OMB) is synonymous with quality, authenticity, and community.

We're seeking an accomplished Corporate Executive Chef to lead our growing culinary operations. This strategic, hands-on leader will shape the food experience across OMB's expanding portfolio—currently two locations, with two additional biergartens planned over the next three years.

The ideal candidate is a passionate culinarian and seasoned operator who thrives on developing teams, innovating menus, and driving excellence across multiple venues.

This is more than a kitchen role—it's a leadership opportunity to define the culinary vision for one of the Southeast's most beloved craft beer brands. If you're a culinary innovator who leads with excellence, inspires teams, and thrives in a growth environment, we'd love to meet you.

About OMB

Founded in 2009, The Olde Mecklenburg Brewery is Charlotte's premier craft brewery, proudly producing beers in strict accordance with the German Purity Law (Reinheitsgebot of 1516). OMB's commitment to quality extends from its handcrafted lagers and ales to the vibrant biergarten culture it fosters in the community.

From our flagship Lower South End campus to the recently opened Ballantyne location (2024) —and with Mount Holly (2026) and beyond on the horizon—OMB delivers an unmatched blend of craftsmanship, hospitality, and local pride.
