Conspiracy Chocolate is a bean-to-bar chocolate maker brand in Hong Kong, specialising in ambitious creations for the top tier of the market. We create a range of high-end chocolate products for fine dining and hospitality, and spend significant time on research and development.

The company is growing fast and looking to recruit a talented individual to the culinary team.

The Lab operates during 8:30am-5:30pm on weekdays only, and not on weekends or public holidays. The package offers generous annual leave as well.

A small, high calibre team spends their time developing new and creative flavours and products, practising the ancient tradition of chocolate making, and producing classic and creative products out of this chocolate, in a positive environment encouraging learning and cooperation. High expectations, big freedom, and a lot of support for learning.

An ambitious and passionate candidate whos keen to learn and grow fast will thrive in this environment and enjoy their time here.

For high performers, personal projects are encouraged and supported.

Conspiracys customers are the highest tier of F&B, hospitality, and luxury fashion brands and they expect the highest level of quality, hygiene and organisation. To achieve this, we expect that same level of personal responsibility from every team member.

This is a unique opportunity for young F&B professionals to learn deeply about chocolate in a skillful environment and grow their career. Our approach is highly technical and artistic, and we prioritise teaching and training.
