Junior Culinary Administrative Support Specialist

<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>About the Team:</h3> <p>We support the onboarding of chefs and their recipes into the CookUnity platform.
