Company mission
CookUnity is on a mission to unlock the world’s best food creators and bring their meals to the masses.
Role
Who you are
- You’re someone who thrives on creating meaningful moments for others. With a background in HR, hospitality, or employee experience, you know how to make people feel welcome, supported, and connected
- Organization is your superpower—you have an eye for detail and can juggle multiple tasks without missing a beat. But what really sets you apart is your love for fostering community. Whether it’s through a thoughtfully planned onboarding session, a team dinner, or a perfectly stocked coffee station, you understand that the little things can make a big difference
- You’re also driven by data, with a keen interest in metrics like engagement and retention. You’re constantly looking for ways to improve and bring fresh ideas to the table
- Proven experience in HR, employee experience, or workplace culture roles
- Strong organizational skills and the ability to manage multiple priorities seamlessly
- A proactive, problem-solving mindset with a focus on continuous improvement
- Excellent communication skills that help you foster relationships across teams
- A genuine passion for hospitality, food, and creating unforgettable experiences
What the job involves
- As our People Experience Coordinator, you’ll be at the center of life at CookUnity’s New York Community Hub. Picture yourself welcoming a team member who’s visiting for the first time, making sure the CU Apartment feels like a second home for a traveling team member, or curating an In-Person Week that combines collaboration, learning, and maybe a little fun around the table
- Your role will be as diverse as the team you’re supporting. You’ll make sure our people feel cared for through the seamless execution of events, a perfectly stocked coffee corner, or a thoughtful gesture that brightens someone’s day
- Every day brings a new opportunity to make an impact. You’ll start the morning by ensuring the NY Community Hub is ready to welcome the team, from stocking supplies to creating an inviting space that feels like home
- Some days, you’ll dive into onboarding activities, prepare merch for new hires, and guide them through their first steps at CookUnity. On other days, you’ll be knee-deep in planning an In-Person Week, coordinating schedules, venues, and team-building activities that foster connection and creativity
- You’ll also keep an eye on the CU Apartment, ensuring it’s guest-ready with fresh supplies, amenities, and meals
- And because you’re metrics-obsessed, you’ll track engagement and retention data, using insights to improve the employee experience continuously
- Whether you’re organizing logistics for a Board Dinner, arranging a leadership meeting, or brainstorming new ways to bring our culture to life, you’ll be the person who makes it all happen
- This position needs to be based in the Brooklyn office 40 hours a week, or as required by the business needs for the role
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 15.5 million 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 10 million 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, brekfast 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.
