The Hungry Moose is looking for a hands‑on, people‑first Kitchen Manager to lead our busy Town Center deli in the heart of Big Sky. This is an opportunity to step into a trusted community staple, work alongside an energetic team, and help shape the daily experience for locals and visitors alike. If you love food, enjoy leading from the floor, and want a career rooted in connection, quality, and mountain life, this role delivers all of it.
What & Where
This is a full‑time Kitchen Manager position at the Hungry Moose Town Center location in Big Sky, Montana. You’ll oversee daily deli operations including production, service, food safety, inventory, and team leadership. Reporting to the Location Manager, you’ll be a key ambassador of the Hungry Moose brand—leading peak service, supporting your team, and ensuring every customer receives friendly, high‑quality service.
Who We Are
Family‑owned and rooted in Big Sky since 1994, the Hungry Moose is more than a grocery store—it’s a community hub. We believe in thoughtfully sourced food, supporting local partners, and showing up every day with authentic Montana hospitality. Our culture is collaborative, upbeat, and welcoming. We encourage team members to share their talents, grow their skills, and help shape what we offer.
How You’ll Lead
This is a hands‑on leadership role built for someone who thrives in a fast‑paced environment. You’ll manage inventory, ordering, vendor relationships, labor planning, and cost controls while coaching and developing your team. You’ll support onboarding and training, provide real‑time feedback, and help foster a positive, inclusive workplace where people want to stay and grow. During peak times, you’ll be right on the floor—leading by example.
Why Join the Hungry Moose
We offer more than a job—we offer a way to build a life in Big Sky. Benefits include a 35% employee discount, shift meals, PTO and sick time, group health insurance options after 60 days, mental health support, paid parental leave, and a 401(k) with company match. There is potential for subsidized employee housing, helping make mountain living more accessible.
If you’re ready to lead with positivity, build strong teams, and play a meaningful role in a town you can truly call home, we’d love to meet you.
