ABOUT COOKUNITY: 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. THE ROLE: This role will play a critical part in helping CookUnity become a more nutrition-forward, science-backed food business by supporting nutrition standards, meal classification, ingredient audits, nutrient optimization initiatives, legal claims documentation, and chef-facing nutrition tools.

Ingredient Specification Screening and Standardization: * Screen priority ingredient specifications against CookUnity’s Nutrient Optimization criteria. * Identify gaps between current ingredient specifications and desired nutrition or ingredient integrity standards. * Support the standardization of priority ingredients by reviewing nutrition facts, ingredient labels, additives, claims, and specification documents. * Help organize findings and recommendations for ingredient upgrades, reformulations, or vendor follow-ups. * Maintain ingredient tracking files and dashboards to monitor progress across priority ingredient specs. 4. Recipe, Cooking Method, and Nutrient-Retention Research Support: * Assist in preparing documentation for MVP kitchen pilots comparing current versus optimized cooking methods. * Help collect, organize, and analyze pilot results, including nutritional impact, operational feasibility, and chef feedback. * Support lab test documentation for cooking-method replacements, including nutrient-retention impact and recommendation summaries. * Help prepare scale, iterate, or reject recommendations based on pilot and lab validation results. 5. Eater-Facing Nutrition Education Support: * Support the creation of eater-facing education related to nutrient preservation, including reheating, storage, and leftovers best practices. * Help draft clear, science-backed educational content for customer communication channels such as CRM, FAQs, website content, flyers, or other agreed formats. * Ensure consumer-facing content is accurate, simple, brand-aligned, and legally appropriate. * Collaborate with Culinary Nutrition, Marketing, CRM, Legal, and Customer Experience teams as needed. 6. Legal Claims and Nutrition Communication Audits: * Help keep CookUnity’s Nutrition Standards + Legal Claims Playbook updated. * Support the development of claim standards checklists for nutrition, ingredient, and health-related communications. * Assist in auditing high-impact communication channels such as meal descriptions, website content, meal names, CRM, PR materials, and other customer-facing assets. * Document potential claim risks, inconsistencies, or improvement opportunities. * Support preparation of reports with findings and corrective action recommendations for key stakeholders. 7.

A quick note for all candidates We’ve recently seen an increase in recruitment scams across the industry, and we want to make sure you (and your data) stay safe while applying to CookUnity. We also want you to know that we take this seriously — sometimes, as part of our process, we may ask for a brief “proof of humanity” to confirm that we’re connecting with a real person, not an impersonator. Here are a few tips to help you protect yourself and know what to expect from us: * Apply only through our official channels. All open roles are listed on our official careers page: careers.cookunity.com * Our recruiters are real people — and easy to verify. You can always find them on LinkedIn with verified profiles. If you’re unsure, feel free to reach out to us on our official LinkedIn Company Page. * We only communicate through official CookUnity channels. That means emails ending in @cookunity.com and interviews held through official company platforms (Google Meet or Zoom) — never WhatsApp, Telegram, or SMS. * We’ll never ask for payment or personal financial details. If anyone does, please don’t share any information and let us know right away. If something ever feels off or you’re unsure about a message, we’d much rather you double-check with us. You can always contact us directly through any of our social media channels. We appreciate your interest in joining CookUnity — and we care about keeping your experience (and safety) as genuine as possible.
