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 CX Risk Coordinator is the analytical and execution engine of the CX Risk team. You will connect customer escalations to operational decisions: tracking trends, finding the pain points behind them, and leading the projects that fix them. This is not a support role. You will be expected to tell the story behind the data, turn problems into structured projects, and drive them through to a measurable result.
Responsibilities:Incident Analysis & Response- Classify and document incidents across the T1–T5 severity framework, ensuring accurate categorization and post-incident records
- Analyze escalation spikes to identify patterns (market, route, meal, or time-based) and surface findings proactively
- Contribute to incident post-mortems with structured root cause analysis
- Map CX and operational workflows end to end and identify where they break, slow down, or generate credits and refunds
- Find pain points by combining escalation data, VOC feedback, and direct input from CX specialists, CX Ops, and market teams
- Size each pain point (volume, credit exposure, agent effort) so the team can prioritize what matters most
- Design and test solutions: process changes, documentation, templates, automations, or tooling requests
- Measure the before and after of every improvement and report whether it actually worked
- Own CX Risk projects from scoping to delivery: define the problem, goal, success metric, owner, and deadline
- Keep projects visible and current in the team tracker, with clear status, next actions, and blockers
- Coordinate with stakeholders across CX Ops, Operations, Markets, Kitchens, and Product to unblock dependencies
- Escalate blockers early and follow up until they are resolved
- Communicate progress and outcomes in short, structured updates to the CX Risk Supervisor and leadership
- Own the weekly escalation summary: top drivers by market, WoW trend, and at least one recommendation per cycle
- Maintain and evolve the Credits & Refunds dashboards, ensuring data accuracy and relevance
- Contribute to the monthly C&R Digest and VOC analyses shared with CX Leadership, Markets, and Kitchen Ops
- Present escalation data and project results in cross-functional meetings, with context and a clear recommendation
- Flag recurring root causes to the relevant team with supporting data and a suggested action
- Support CX Ops by auditing logistics channels during the afternoon window; surface issues, do not resolve them unilaterally
Qualifications:
- 2+ years of experience in a CX, Operations, or analytical role, ideally in a high-volume, logistics-adjacent environment
- Proven experience leading or coordinating projects end to end, with deadlines, stakeholders, and measurable outcomes
- A process-improvement mindset: you notice friction, ask why it happens, and push for a fix rather than a workaround
- Comfortable working with data: building spreadsheets, interpreting dashboards, and spotting anomalies without being prompted
- Strong written English: you can turn a table of numbers into a short summary a non-technical reader can act on
- Experience with Zendesk or a comparable CRM / ticketing platform
- Available to work EST hours, including evening coverage
Preferred Requirements:
- SQL knowledge for querying and analyzing data independently
- Experience with Google BigQuery
- Familiarity with process-improvement or project frameworks (Lean, root cause analysis, Kanban, or similar)
- Exposure to automation or scripting (Apps Script, Python, n8n, or similar)
- Familiarity with delivery or food operations: routes, 3PL dynamics, or last-mile logistics

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.
