Role
Who you are

- Proficiency with prototyping tools and familiarity with UX/UI design principles and patterns
- Track record of shipping products that users love
- Data-driven approach to decision making
- Excellent communication and storytelling skills
- Self-starter mentality with high autonomy and agency
Desirable
- Experience in consumer technology products

- Experience working with AI tools for prototyping and development
- Experience taking a product from 0 to 1 in a startup environment
- Understanding of current trends in AI, particularly around image generation and foundational models

- You're enthusiastic about leveraging cutting-edge technologies
- You have an entrepreneurial mindset and are willing to wear multiple hats

What the job involves
- We're launching an exciting new initiative - Cookin v2 - that builds on all the learnings from our first product iteration
- This is essentially a new startup within our organization, and we're looking for a product leader who can function almost like a founder
- Working within a small, agile pod with 1-2 engineers and design support, you'll be directly translating the vision set by our CPO into a market-ready product
- This is a rare opportunity to shape a product from the ground up with the backing of an established company
- Product Development: Lead the end-to-end product development process from concept to launch for Cookin v2
- User Research & Validation: Engage directly with users, conduct interviews, and analyze feedback to inform product decisions
- Technical Implementation: Work closely with engineers to define, prioritize, and execute on the product roadmap
- Market Intelligence: Identify market trends, analyze competitive landscape, and develop insights that drive product strategy
- Rapid Prototyping: Create functional prototypes using the latest tools and technologies to test concepts quickly
- Metrics & Performance: Define success metrics and KPIs, and use data to drive product improvements
- Stakeholder Management: Communicate effectively with executive leadership, including direct reporting to CPO, COO, and CEO
Our take
CookUnity is a meal subscription service which connects consumers with some of the country's best known chefs, including Esther Choi, Chris Ratel and Andy Mendez. Consumers can select from a menu of handcrafted meals that cater to a wide variety of palates and dietary preferences. Believing that healthy food fuels stronger communities, CookUnity contributes to an ongoing partnership and donation with the Food Bank For New York City.
The New York founded business hit the headlines for its upward trajectory in 2020, where it secured $15.5M in funding and saw an expected boost not just in demand, but in the supply of top culinary talent at a time when restaurants were struggling.
While there’s a wide world of meal plan delivery services, CookUnity has a jump on much of the competition as it’s the first service that connects such eminent chefs directly with the customer. This has allowed it to expand across much of the US, and it now prepares over 10M meals annually for its 50,000 subscribers.
With most of the urban US now covered by its service, CookUnity is moving into the next phase of its growth, expanding the range of sellers and food products on the platform, and has plans to offer family-sized portions, breakfast options and cooking classes using its existing physical and digital infrastructure. This will enable it to grow into an all-in-one meal subscription service over the coming years.
