Job Description

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 :

We're looking for a Sr Manager - Fulfillment Process Engineering to join our Fulfillment & Logistics team. This role will play a vital part in optimizing end-to-end cold chain processes, from production handoff to last-mile delivery, improving efficiency, quality, and scalability across our multi-site fulfillment network.

Responsibilities :

• Evaluate and enhance cold chain fulfillment workflows to reduce quality defects including missing meals, incorrect meal placement, broken seals, and missing packages .
• Develop SOPs and standard work for operation of sealing machines, sleeving stations, and other critical fulfillment equipment to improve consistency and reduce human error.
• Partner with operations leaders to roll out process improvements and programs that enhance the handoff from fulfillment to logistics — including packaging validation, temperature control checkpoints, and loadout readiness.
• Create training documentation and visual work instructions to standardize best practices across fulfillment centers.
• Lead cross-functional root cause analysis initiatives for recurring quality or efficiency issues; implement countermeasures and follow-through audits.
• Support layout optimization of fulfillment lines and cold pack areas to improve flow, reduce dwell time, and increase packaging throughput.
• Establish performance dashboards and KPIs to track packaging accuracy, seal integrity, and cold chain compliance across the network.
• Partner with design and maintenance teams to influence equipment upgrades and new site layouts based on observed performance gaps.
• Lead Kaizen events or structured continuous improvement cycles across fulfillment centers focused on operational and quality gains.
• Train and mentor site leaders and team members on process control, lean methodologies, and six sigma tools.

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.
