Product Manager, Strategic Partnerships

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.

About the Team:

The Strategic Partnerships team builds and scales CookUnity’s most important external relationships — health and wellness brands, connected health platforms, fitness apps, and other partners who share our belief that what you eat is foundational to how you feel. We sit at the intersection of product, commercial, and operations, turning partnership agreements into real product experiences that drive member growth and retention.

The role:

We’re hiring a Staff Product Manager, Strategic Partnerships to own the full picture for CookUnity’s health and wellness brand partnerships: the go-to-market strategy that gets each partnership off the ground, the external relationships that keep them healthy, and the product roadmap and integration architecture that makes them work at scale.

You are the bridge between external partner teams and CookUnity’s internal product and engineering org. You translate commercial agreements into shipped product, own the partner relationship from launch onward, and synthesize learnings across partners to build infrastructure that makes every future partnership faster and better.

Responsibilities:

Go-to-Market & Partner Launch

• Define the launch strategy for each new partnership — messaging, activation plan, launch milestones, and success metrics
• Work with marketing and brand partners on co-branded campaigns, member communications, and channel activation
• Set and track launch KPIs; run post-launch reviews to identify what’s working and what to iterate on
• Build partnership launch playbooks that make each new partner go-live smoother and faster than the last

Partner Relationship Management

• Serve as CookUnity’s primary product point of contact for external partners — the person they call when something’s working and when it isn’t
• Run regular partner touchpoints: product reviews, roadmap alignment sessions, and quarterly business reviews
• Manage partner expectations, escalations, and change requests with clear communication and follow-through
