About this role

<div class="content-intro"><h3>About CookUnity:</h3> <p><span style="font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">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.</span></p> <p><span style="font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">Unwilling to stop there, CookUnity is expanding beyond delivery to become an ever-innovating marketplace focused on our singular mission: <strong data-stringify-type="bold">empower Chefs to nourish the world.</strong></span></p> <p><span style="font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">If that mission has you hungry in more ways than one, you’ve found the right job posting.</span></p></div><h3><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">The Role</span></h3> <p><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">CookUnity is looking for a Staff Product Manager to own our ChefTech team and lead the direction of ChefOS Platform, the product chefs use to run their business with us.</span></p> <p><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">ChefTech is the chef relationship and content layer of our operation. It covers how chefs join the platform, how their recipes become sellable products on our menus, and the tools they use every day: the Chef Portal, the chef mobile app, and the business surfaces where chefs manage their ratings, sales, payouts, and performance.</span></p> <p><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">The broader mandate is ChefOS Platform. A chef's experience with us currently lives across several separate tools. This role owns the vision for bringing them into one product: a single place where a chef handles onboarding, recipes and menu, kitchen operations, and the performance and pay that come out of all of it. It's a wider vantage point than any single squad, drawing on work that runs across the operation and pulling it into one experience for the chef.</span></p> <p><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">There's a larger ambition behind this. We believe the platform we build for our own chefs can become a modular, white-label product for other restaurants and food businesses. That work is greenfield. It calls for someone who can set product direction in open territory, where the problem itself still has to be defined.</span></p> <p><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">This is an individual contributor role. You'll partner closely with Design and Engineering, and there's room to grow a team beneath you over time as the platform scales.</span></p> <h3><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">What You'll Do</span></h3> <h3><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;"><strong>Own the ChefTech product surface</strong></span></h3> <ul> <li style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">Set the roadmap and OKRs for chef onboarding, recipe and product activation, the Chef Portal, and the chef mobile app, and deliver against them each cycle.</span></li> <li style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">Own these products end to end, from the problem through launch, adoption, and the iterations that follow.</span></li> <li style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">Partner with Engineering and Design to build and improve the tools chefs use to run their business with us.</span></li> </ul> <p><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;"><strong>Know the chef deeply</strong></span></p> <ul> <li style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">Build a direct line to chefs through interviews, surveys, and ongoing conversation, and use it to understand their needs and where the tools fall short.</span></li> <li style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">Anticipate what chefs need before it surfaces as a problem, and turn that understanding into product direction.</span></li> <li style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">Spend real time with chefs using the tools, so each iteration is grounded in how they actually work.</span></li> </ul> <p><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;"><strong>Lead the ChefOS Platform vision</strong></span></p> <ul> <li style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">Define what a unified chef platform looks like and build the multi-quarter plan to get there.</span></li> <li style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">Pull the separate chef tools into a single, connected product.</span></li> <li style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">Make the case for platform i
