Product Manager/Owner, Chef Marketing at Cookunity — Remote

<div class="content-intro"><h3>About CookUnity:</h3> Food has lost its soul to modern convenience. And with it, 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 50 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.</div><h3>About the Team: Chef Marketing</h3> Chef Marketing is one of the most dynamic teams within CookUnity's BizOps organization. Our mission is to create tools, campaigns, and features that help chefs grow their business on the platform, improve their reach, boost sales, and foster loyalty among their customers — while also enhancing the end-to-end experience for our eaters. We operate as an "internal growth engine" — collaborating closely with other Product Managers, Data, Engineering, Marketing, and the Chef community to drive measurable impact on chef earnings, customer retention, and platform revenue. We ship fast, test constantly, and always put both the Chef and the Eater at the center of our work. Importantly, Chef Marketing also owns and contributes to customer-facing product experiences, especially around loyalty and retention. Many of the features and campaigns we build are seen and used directly by CookUnity eaters — from in-menu merchandising, to post-purchase experiences, to loyalty journeys. Our current initiatives span a wide range: <ul> <li style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">Dynamic merchandising & personalization (Menu sorting, loyalty ribbons, post-purchase modules)</li> <li style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">Loyalty and retention campaigns (Autopilot, Free Meals, Winback)</li> <li style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">On-platform marketing tools for chefs (Campaign builders, performance insights)</li> <li style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">Automated promotional mechanics (Add & Save, Autopilot, Collections)</li> <li style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">CRM & segmentation frameworks</li> <li style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">Analytics & reporting for chefs</li> <li style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">Customer-facing product features to boost retention and lifetime value</li> <li style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">Experiments to improve chef performance and customer engagement</li> </ul> We're looking to expand the team with a Product Owner / Product Manager who can help us move faster, deepen our data-driven decision making, and own small product areas and experiments end-to-end — both on the chef side and eater side of the marketplace. <h3>The Role</h3> As a Product Owner / Product Manager for Chef Marketing, you will play a hybrid role across Product, Analytics, and Execution, with growing ownership of scope over time.
