Head Baker (Bakery & Pastry)

At Mörk Bakery, we believe great baking is built through process, technique and thoughtful use of ingredients.

It's about understanding dough, refining the details and creating products that people come back for—because they're consistently exceptional.

If that sounds like the way you approach baking, we'd love to meet you.

We're looking for an experienced Head Baker with deep technical expertise in dough development, fermentation, enriched doughs and bakery production, combined with a genuine passion for developing people. You'll work alongside the team every day, setting the technical standard, diagnosing and solving production challenges, coaching others and helping us continually improve.

For more than 14 years, Mörk has built a reputation for craftsmanship, hospitality and quality. Our bakery is an important part of that story, supplying our cafés across Melbourne and a growing network of wholesale partners. As we relocate into our new purpose-built CBD bakery, we're looking for someone who wants to build on strong foundations and help define the next chapter of Mörk Bakery.

You'll remain hands-on in the bakery while leading an established team.

You'll:

• Lead daily production and set the technical standard.

• Provide technical leadership across dough production, fermentation and bakery operations.

• Diagnose and solve production challenges while maintaining exceptional consistency.

• Coach and develop the bakery team through support and example.

• Plan and coordinate production based on café and wholesale orders.

• Refine products, systems and workflows through collaboration and continuous improvement.

• Help build a positive, organised and supportive bakery culture.

You'll bring:

• Significant experience leading a bakery or pastry production team.

• Deep technical expertise in dough development, fermentation, enriched doughs and artisan bakery production.

• Strong production planning and organisational skills.

• Confidence making sound decisions in a busy production environment.

• A genuine passion for mentoring and developing others.

• High standards, curiosity and pride in your craft.

You'll also be comfortable with early starts and working at least one weekend day as part of your regular roster. Flexibility across both weekend days would be highly regarded.

This is an opportunity to lead a respected bakery through an exciting period of growth.

As we relocate into our new purpose-built CBD bakery, you'll work alongside an experienced team, remain close to the craft of baking and help shape the future of Mörk Bakery.

If you're excited by the opportunity to help lead the next chapter of Mörk Bakery, we'd love to hear your story.
