- We are building Off Menu, the next evolution of Cookin, and are looking for a highly entrepreneurial leader to operate as its GM and founder inside CookUnity
- This is not a traditional product role. It combines general management, product building, teaming with sales, and customer leadership in pursuit of product-market fit. You will own the business journey from an ambiguous problem to a product and business that restaurants adopt, pay for, and continue using
- Working with a small pod of 1-2 engineers, an experienced salesperson, and an operations teammate, you will have the autonomy to build from the ground up with the backing of a late-stage, rapidly growing, and established company
- Build the business from 0→1: Lead Off Menu from customer discovery and prototype through launch, iteration, and meaningful commercial adoption
- Own product and go-to-market: Define the target customer, value proposition, positioning, pricing, messaging, distribution, and product roadmap
- Win the first customers: Work directly with restaurants and our sales person to pitch the product, handle objections, close early partners, and refine the product proposition based on what you learn
- Own business performance: Drive revenue, GMV, CAC, activation, retention, payback, contribution margin, unit economics, and overall P&L; outcomes
- Build hands-on: Conduct your own research, interrogate data, create prototypes with AI tools, write requirements, and work directly with engineers
- Manage marketplace dynamics: Balance supply, demand, product experience, operations, and economics across a multi-sided business
- Create clarity from ambiguity: Establish priorities and move quickly without an existing playbook
- Lead with visibility: Communicate strategy, progress, risks, and results clearly to senior Cookin leadership
