Housing is provided. Our guest season is open from June to October. Optimal start date for the position would be in April or May of 2026 with end dates being somewhat flexible but not before mid-August, 2026.

WHAT YOU WILL LOVE ABOUT THIS ROLE:

The way guests light up when the food hits the table.

Most of them haven’t eaten a real meal in months. They’ve been ordering, scrolling, reheating, and grabbing things on the way to the next thing. They sit down at our family-style table — kids present (in the moment), adults chuckling, mountain through the window — and within three days the gratitude is palpable.

The mom who cried a little on Wednesday because she didn’t have to plan a meal, cook it, clean it up, or think about what’s in it. The dad who ate a salad without complaining. The kid who tried a beet. The grandparents who said it was the best week of their year. That’s what this kitchen does. And nobody on the team takes that for granted.

You’ll cook for everyone the same way. Staff eat what guests eat, every meal. No back-of-house pasta while the dining room gets the good stuff. Every human on this ranch is equal at the table — that’s a core part of who we are.

You’ll get to build a brand for the way we cook.

Whole food. From scratch. Clean. The kind of cooking that’s actually a return to what matters — and one of the strongest expressions of the 5 R’s our guests come here to experience: Recover & Rejuvenate, Remember & Reconnect, Reimagine Life. Food is one of the loudest ways we deliver that arc.

And you’ll get to co-create the off-season. This is where it gets fun. Off-season, we’re opening the doors to the community — locals, day visitors, road-trippers, the short-drivecation crowd from Fort Collins and Denver. We want to become the kind of destination dining and ranch stay that people block out a Friday night for. That hasn’t been built yet. You’d be the chef who builds it with us.

THE ROLE:

Year-round Head Chef at a 24-guest boutique ranch in the Colorado Rockies. New ownership, building intentionally.

Dude ranch season is the heart of the work. Family-style breakfasts that fuel a day on horseback. Trail lunches that hold up at the top of a ridge. Dinners that bring 24 guests around one big table — plus up to 15 staff eating the same food. One plated adult-only dinner mid-week — the night the parents booked the trip for. Built around a weekly arc, not a static menu.

Off-season is where you get to build something rare. Ranch days and destination dinners for the drivecation crowd from Fort Collins and Denver. Afternoon tea for day riders coming off the mountain. The restaurant we open to the community — your menu, your following. Plus the occasional full-ranch buyout — destination weddings and small group bookings where you and the Head of Hospitality co-design the food story for the event. You report to the Head of Hospitality and sit at the leadership table — not in the back of the kitchen. You own menu, ordering, food cost, and your kitchen team. Stocks from bones, bread from flour, the land sets the menu. We don’t open bags here.

THE PACKAGE:

$30/hr + tips, year-round, hourly (rate dependent on experience)

Private room on-ranch, year-round (shared apartment off-season, 2 housemates max)

Three family-style meals a day, provided — the same meals every human on the ranch eats

Lodging and meals provided per IRC §119 — almost every dollar you earn is yours to keep

HFWA paid sick leave, FAMLI, paid time off

ServSafe / ANSI Food Manager cert covered if you don’t already hold it

Full ranch access on days off — riding, hiking, jacuzzi, disc golf, shooting range, miles of forest out the back gate.

THE PLACE:

138 acres at 8,000 ft, surrounded by 800,000+ acres of Roosevelt National Forest. An hour from Fort Collins, two from Denver. Across the road from the University of Denver’s mountain campus. WiFi limited, cell service patchy — by design. Tobacco-free, drug-free, random screening. Chef whites in the kitchen, western when you step out. Uniform provided.

YOU’LL THRIVE HERE IF:

– 3+ years leading a kitchen, or a strong senior sous ready to step up

– Calm under pressure, generous with your team, ruthless on standards — the holy trinity

– Confident across modes — family-style, plated, casual restaurant, tea, occasional event

– Real ownership of food cost, ordering, and inventory — you run the kitchen as a P&L, not a hobby

– You believe whole food, scratch cooking, and clean eating actually matter

– You actually want to live in the mountains. This isn’t a job you commute to.

YOU WON’T IF:

– You think hospitality is performance instead of care

– You need a 25-cook brigade to feel like a chef

– You want to run a kitchen from behind a desk

– “From scratch” means defrosting it yourself

-The dish room on a Tuesday night feels beneath you

– You think staff eat differently than guests

WHO YOU WILL WORK WITH:

We’re Jade and Monty — partners in life, in business, and in this ranch. We bought Sundance Trail Ranch because our shared love of nature, adventure, and what land does to a human soul finally pulled us here for good. We left other industries we loved to come build this on purpose.

Monty has spent 25 years in the ski industry, working with some of the most iconic mountain resorts in North America. These days, he is a remote P/T CFO of boutique destination, cat, and heli-skiing operations — mainly across British Columbia and Colorado, including Silverton Mountain. He chose to step out of the corporate rat race and the craziness of commercialism to live a life more connected to nature than to noise. The bar he holds for guest experience is high, and the standards he’s brought to STR have raised everything. Stalk away: https://www.linkedin.com/in/montywaughcpa/

Jade has spent two decades in business consulting and people strategy — building high-performance, human-centered organizations across Australia, the US, Canada, Europe, and Asia. Her massive transformational purpose is to create spaciousness to unlock human potential — to help people drop into flow state and reimagine what work, life, and being human can actually feel like. STR is the most direct expression of that purpose she’s ever built. She wants this to be the ripple — the kind of place that changes how guests live, how the team grows, and how the industry sees what’s possible. Stalk away: https://www.linkedin.com/in/thejadegreen/

The result for you: life and career coaching, real feedback, and the kind of mentorship most chefs never get. You’ll be developed on purpose. You won’t just grow as a chef. You’ll grow as a human.
