Pastry Chef

Bonjour! My name is Aurore Adam, I am the founder and owner of Aurore French Bakery. I fell in love with Montana thanks to my twin sister Alison, who has been living here for 5 years. 3 years ago I finally made the move from Paris to Bozeman in order to open an authentic French Bakery here in the Gallatin Valley. I started by baking out of my kitchen, attending Farmer's Markets, and catering weddings and other events. On May 3rd 2023, we officially opened our Brick and Mortar store. We are still in the early stages and have seen great success selling our products and building our customer base. Now, we are focused on growing and improving every day. If you want to be a part of an exciting new company then this is the job for you.

Our core team is made up of our bakery personnel - baker, pastry chef, assistant baker, tourier and barista/cashiers. Your input is always appreciated and valued.

We love our work here and we have a very positive and encouraging culture. We are hustling all the time. That means being on your feet for entire shifts, cleaning and re-cleaning things constantly, and maintaining a positive professional attitude in interactions with customers vendors and staff. If you do not thrive in fast-paced, high-pressure environments, this is not the job for you.

If you have a strong work ethic and enjoy working in a fast-paced environment, you will thrive here. We are currently looking to fill the role of Head Pastry Chef. Below is the information about these positions.
