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.
Growth Marketing Team focuses on driving all new revenue for CookUnity's business. Our goal is to grow as fast as possible while maintaining a high level of efficiency. We are a test and learn team that rewards contrarian marketers.
The role:As our Media Manager for Offline Channels, you will take full ownership of CookUnity's brand-building and upper-funnel acquisition strategy across traditional and emerging broadcast media.

- Collaborate cross-functionally with Creative, Analytics, Product Marketing, Legal, and channel teams to ensure brand consistency, accurate tracking, and integrated go-to-market execution
- 5+ years of experience in offline and digital media for direct-to-consumer or ecommerce brands, with demonstrated success driving both awareness and acquisition at scale
- Deep expertise in offline channels (Linear TV, CTV, Audio) with at least 3+ years of hands-on experience negotiating, executing, and optimizing broadcast campaigns
- Proven track record managing significant media budgets (ideally $10MM+/year) with strong command of efficiency metrics (CPM, CPV, brand lift, LTV:CAC)
- Advanced understanding of media measurement including MMM (Media Mix Modeling), brand lift studies, incrementality testing, and attribution frameworks
- Experience leading agency partnerships owning strategy development, performance accountability, and contract/scope management with external media partners

- Strong creative judgment and brand sensibility you understand what makes compelling brand creative and can evaluate effectiveness across formats and channels
- Operate with a high degree of autonomy and accountability you proactively flag risks, identify opportunities, and push for what you believe in

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.
