Demi Chef de Partie or Associate Chocolatier — Bromoraa

? Based in Pune | On-site — The Studio, Pune, Maharashtra

About Us

Bromoraa is a premium chocolate brand founded by a Pune-based startup dedicated to redefining what quality chocolate confectionery can be in India. We currently create premium, high-quality dragées — designed for gifting, corporate events, and special moments — with a focus on superior taste, finish, and consistency at scale. We are intentional and strategic in our plans to expand our offerings to include bonbons, truffles, bars, and other products in the near future.

As a lean, fast-moving startup, we're building our production team from the ground up, and looking for someone who thrives in that kind of environment with a genuine passion for the craft of chocolate-making.

About the Role

We're hiring an Associate Chocolatier to join our kitchen team at the Demi Chef de Partie level (or equivalent), working hands-on across our chocolate products, including our full dragées range. A successful candidate will have at least 1 to 2 years of experience in chocolate tempering, panning, coating, and finishing at FMCG production scale. You'll report to our Operations Lead, working closely with our Head Chocolatier, and be part of a small team where recipe ideas and process improvements genuinely shape the product.

This role requires attention to detail, the ability to follow instructions and recipes consistently, and for scaled production.

What You'll Do

- Temper chocolate and manage crystallization to hit the right working temperature for every batch
- Pan and coat nuts and other inclusions to a consistent finish
- Roast and prepare nuts and inclusions ahead of production




- Weigh ingredients accurately and follow recipes/formulations precisely
- Troubleshoot in real time when something isn't setting, coating, or turning out right — and know when to flag it
- Keep a clean, organised mise en place throughout production
- Manage your time across multiple simultaneous production tasks
- Follow FSSAI hygiene and food safety standards at every step
- Pack jars and hampers, and support stock rotation (FIFO)

What We're Looking For: Minimum Requirement

- 1+ year of experience in chocolate work: tempering, crystallization, moulding, panning, ganache/emulsions
- 1+ year of knowledge of how different chocolates behave at different temperatures and humidity levels
- Proven ability to maintain both quality and consistency across every batch at production scale
- Attention to detail as a default habit, not an occasional effort
- Patience, organization, and strong time management under a multi-tasking production schedule
- Physical stamina for when the work can be repetitive and physically demanding
- Critical thinking and Problem-solving: remaining calm under pressure and troubleshooting issues with curiosity and a drive to learn instead of frustration or impatience
- Genuine openness to feedback, and a willingness to understand the why behind techniques, not just blindly following the steps
- Comfort with a scaled, fast-moving production pace, and a reliable,



team-first attitude — roles shift fast here and everyone pitches in

What We're Looking For: Preferred Skills

- 3+ years of experience working on chocolate: tempering, crystallization, moulding, panning, ganache/emulsions
- 3+ years of knowledge of how different chocolates behave at different temperatures and humidity levels
- Demonstrated success in leading production while delivering consistently high quality at scale
- 3+ years of experience supervising junior chefs or kitchen staff, or training chocolatiers
- 2+ years of demonstrated skills in researching and developing innovative, new chocolate recipes

Compensation & Performance

- Competitive salary
- Performance assessed monthly for the first year, moving to quarterly reviews from Year 2 onward

Why Join Us

- A chance to shape our journey by getting in early as part of the pioneering team building a quick-growing premium chocolate brand
- Direct hands-on ownership of your craft and your batches, not just following instructions
- Work closely with our Head Chocolatier and the founding team as recipes and volumes scale
