Culinary Director

The Culinary Director is the senior culinary leader for EVSL, setting and delivering the overall food vision across the Etihad Campus — including Etihad Stadium, Co-op Live Arena, CFA, JOIE Stadium, restaurants, within the Medlock Square as well as the wider Conference and Events portfolio across the campus. 

The role combines creative leadership, operational collaboration, and commercial acumen to ensure that every food offer — from high-volume general admission to premium dining and destination restaurants — is executed to the highest standards. 

While day-to-day culinary operations are led by Executive Head Chef Directors reporting directly into their respective Venue F&B Directors, the Culinary Director provides dotted-line leadership for technical, creative, and strategic culinary direction, ensuring consistency, innovation, and excellence across all sites. 

As a key member of the campus leadership team, the Culinary Director will shape and evolve the culinary identity of EVSL, driving innovation, consistency, and profitability while embedding a high-performance, values-led culture across the culinary network.
