Great leaders thrive on building the team. As it has been said of leadership, “The higher you go up, the more reliant you are upon others.” J. Alexander’s coaches understand that a stellar food and service organization must be a true training and development organization. This is what we are.

Our leaders must also be chef-driven since the restaurants employ skilled culinary teams trained to execute from-scratch products in high volume. This does not mean that everyone joining J. Alexander’s must have prior kitchen management experience, but it does imply that anyone joining the company must possess a sincere interest in learning culinary operations. Full-service restaurant experience is a requirement for consideration. A college degree or culinary degree is preferred. Relocation flexibility will contribute to the success of a J. Alexander’s leader.
