Chef – corporate kitchen

Over 30 years, we've grown from a single computer to a global digital lottery technology business (ASX: JIN), operating across Australia, the UK, Canada and the USA. We partner with thousands of good causes worldwide and have helped raise over $290M in FY25 alone.

We build the platforms and products that power lottery and not-for-profit fundraising at scale. It's a business that's still growing, still evolving, and still figuring things out, which means the people who do their best work here are comfortable with ambiguity, think laterally, take real ownership of their work, and adapt well to change.

What will you be doing?

You’ll join our small, friendly kitchen team (2 people) at Jumbo’s Brisbane Head Office in Milton, reporting to the Chef (Kris) and preparing fresh meals for employees in a modern kitchen overlooking Suncorp Stadium.

This is a hands-on role responsible for supporting all aspects of day-to-day Jumbo Kitchen operations and providing safe, high-quality catering. You’ll help promote a healthy, balanced diet and lifestyle while working with set menus planned around three months in advance, spanning a broad range of cuisines and catering for dietary and religious requirements wherever possible.

The hours are Monday to Friday, 6:00 AM to 2:00 PM, with no nights or weekend work.

The base salary is A$72,000–80,000 plus 12% superannuation.
