Job description
About CookUnity
Food has lost its soul to modern convenience. And with it, has lost the power to nourish, inspire, and connect us. So in 2018, CookUnity was founded as the first-of-its-kind platform that connects the world with the source of truly great food: chefs. Today, CookUnity delivers 35 million meals a year from the industry’s best chefs to homes all over the country. Fresh. Ready-to-eat. And crafted with the passion that nourishes body and soul.
Unwilling to stop there, CookUnity is expanding beyond delivery to become an ever-innovating marketplace focused on our singular mission: empower Chefs to nourish the world.
If that mission has you hungry in more ways than one, you’ve found the right job posting.

- Analyze trends in meetings to identify inefficiencies and propose structural improvements
- Strategic Projects & Communication
- Assist the CEO and CBO with high-leverage tasks including presentations, research, and internal communication
- Lead ad hoc initiatives that cut across teams and require urgent coordination
- Synthesize information and draft memos, decks, or summaries that help move decisions forward
What You Bring
- Experience & Expertise
- 2–4 years of experience in management consulting, high-growth startups, business operations, or post-MBA roles
- Experience directly supporting or working with C-level leadership in a high-performance environment
- Background using AI or modern tooling to enhance productivity is a strong plus
- Skills & Tools
- Strong business judgment, analytical skills, and executive presence
