ABOUT THE ROLE

We have an exciting opportunity with a brand new role to join Dishpatch as a Digital Marketing Manager, reporting into the CEO of Dishpatch.
Waitrose & Partners recently acquired Dishpatch, the meal-kit delivery service that provides restaurant-quality home dining made by some of the UK’s leading chefs.
So, what is Dishpatch? Dishpatch replicates a restaurant experience without leaving the house with chef-prepared dishes. Customers can choose from over 30 Dishpatch menus delivered to their doorstep nationally on Fridays – perfect timing for an indulgent weekend meal! Unlike other meal kit companies, Dishpatch’s dishes come pre-prepared with only a few simple steps to finish and serve, truly taking the hassle out of high-end home dining for our customers.
