Join Our Team at The Thief
We are currently looking for an Executive Chef to join our team of experts.
Under the radar, over the top. At THE THIEF, we don't just offer a place to stay; we offer an ongoing conversation. Born on the edge of Tjuvholmen - an islet once known as a hangout for "loose existences" that has transformed into Oslo’s most cultural neighborhood - we proudly carry on a legacy of making our own rules. We are a house where worlds collide: where premium finishes are just the starting point, and where every guest and team member is treated like a rare item.
While our building serves as a gallery of statements, our soul is defined by the team that brings our unique brand of hospitality to life with boldness and an unapologetic flair. We don’t do "ifs," "buts," or "maybes" - everything we do, we do wholeheartedly.
Key responsibilities
Drive concept development and menu design that aligns with THE THIEF’s unique brand positioning.
Recruit, mentor, and lead a high-performing team to deliver world-class taste and presentation.
Manage the full P&L, budgeting, and strategic supplier partnerships to ensure a profitable and sustainable operation.

As our Executive Chef, you have overall responsibility for the kitchen departments, serving our following outlets and departments:
Thief Restaurant
Thief Rooftop Restaurant & Bar
Room Service

Thief Bar
Banquet & Event

Practices a modern, motivating, and inclusive leadership style
