About Us

CulinaryLab has reinvented culinary education to match up with the modern-day food industry. Founded in 2016, we are a fast-growing company with a start-up atmosphere. Our team consists of 18 employees, all passionate about education and the culinary industry. Current and former students speak highly of our Professional and Home Cook programs - we have high ratings on Yelp, Google, and Facebook.

Overview

We are looking for an energetic, food-loving sales leader to join our admissions department as a Sales Advisor for Pro Cook admissions (Culinary Arts and Pastry Arts). The right fit for this position will be someone who loves working with people, is independent and resourceful, and wants to guide students in selecting CulinaryLab as their education provider.

• Conduct CulinaryLab facility tours to prospective students; meet with students individually to determine if the program and a career in the culinary industry is right for them

Knowledge, Skills, and Abilities

• Five or more years of sales and/or school admissions experience
• A goal-oriented self-starter; someone who works best when given the chance to be independent and creative
• Proven record of strong sales results, especially in a consultative sales role
• Shows empathy towards prospective students regarding their career goals
• A passion for food, cooking, and the culinary industry

Schedule

• Monday - Friday with occasional weekends | 9 AM to 6 PM with a lunch break
• Occasional night and/or weekend shifts may be required for special events and one-off needs
• One day per week can be remote
• Based in Downtown Santa Ana

WHY JOIN US?*

We are CulinaryLab® — a LAB where we geek out over our mutual love of cooking and food, while showing students how to make their wildest culinary dreams come true. Founded in 2016 in the heart of Orange County’s food scene, we are a fast-growing company that has reinvented culinary education to match the modern-day food industry.

Through our contemporary hands-on approach to teaching, small class sizes (led by top-notch chef instructors), and immersive apprenticeships, we prepare students for successful careers in the culinary industry.

CulinaryLab could be right for you if:

• You enjoy having resources for growth and educational enrichment.
• You prefer a casual work atmosphere (no corporate stuffiness) where happiness is appreciated as much as hard work.
• You love working in a collaborative, team-first environment.
• You want to have a big impact on helping others realize their dreams.
• You like expressing your creativity and want the freedom to pursue new ideas.
• You welcome learning from others.
• You appreciate job flexibility (i.e., ample time off)

NOTE: Joining CulinaryLab means becoming a member of a close and supportive family. How you fit in our team culture has a big impact when hiring. We look for people who are adaptable with “can-do” personalities who excel when working in a fun, start-up environment.
