Who are we?
Club Med was founded in 1950 on the idea that the purpose of life is to be happy. The place to be happy is here. The moment to be happy is now.
Since then, our mission has been to create moments of happiness every day and share them with our guests, in nearly 70 Premium and Exclusive Collection Resorts located in the most beautiful destinations in the world.
To make this happen, we have something others don’t: the Club Med Spirit and our five core values of kindness, multiculturalism, responsibility, freedom and a pioneering spirit.
Today, Club Med is the world leader in premium all‑inclusive holidays. We are more than 25,000 Gentle Organizers (G.O) and Gentle Employees (G.E) from over 110 nationalities and cultures, working in Resorts, offices and agencies across more than 40 countries.

Your work environment
Each Resort features several restaurants and bars — from lively event venues to intimate spaces — as part of our Premium All‑Inclusive concept.
From buffet to plated service, live cooking, and festive culinary events, you will have countless opportunities to express your expertise and creativity while developing your skills across our varied culinary concepts.
Our refined food offer is built on five pillars: creating memorable experiences anywhere and anytime of the day, surprising guests with unique dining concepts, promoting well‑being for everyone (including your own), and evoking emotions through presentation and ambience — all in a fun and relaxed atmosphere.

You are
• Operational, mastering culinary techniques, professional terminology and digital tools
• A leader, able to organize, motivate and unite a team while managing conflict effectively

• Organized, able to anticipate needs, adhere to processes and plan reactively
• Collaborative, experienced in stock management and team coordination with other departments

You will
• Oversee all culinary production based on pre‑established menu plans for buffets, plated services, events and staff meals
• Lead a brigade of 40 to 80 cooks and chefs, ensuring quality and consistency across theme buffets and bistronomic dining experiences
• Implement and monitor Club Med norms and standards across all kitchens
• Manage orders and stock with the Stock & Supply Manager while maintaining budget targets
• Analyze results and propose improvements to budgets and culinary performance
• Guarantee the quality of culinary output and compliance with Club Med hygiene and safety standards (HACCP)
• Unite and motivate teams around shared objectives while supporting their professional growth and training

You will be a Gentle Organizer (G.O)
As a G.O, you will practice your profession with passion while also participating in key moments of our guests’ stay.
Whether interacting with them, sharing an activity or showcasing your talents on stage, you will help create unique and lasting memories.
Being a G.O is much more than just a job — it is about experiencing and sharing moments of connection and emotion within a multicultural team.
