We’re hiring!
Kitchio brings fresh, healthy food to low-income families through recipe boxes tailored to their needs, wants and schedules. Our price point is highly competitive with meal boxes currently on the market, and we aim to build an international food brand over the next few years. We are a startup freshly out of Year Here’s Social Innovation programme, building a diverse and inspiring founding team.
Since Kitchio is so young, these roles will be very flexible. You’ll wear many hats and be able to shape our culture as we grow. You will initially work on a freelance basis, with potential to become a cofounder if we work together well.
Note: If you don’t have all the skills but are interested in a position, please get in touch! We’re looking for cultural fit and potential just as much as experience, so don’t disqualify yourself before applying.
Kitchio celebrates diversity and is committed to building an inclusive business that represents a variety of backgrounds, perspectives and skills. This starts with our founding team, so we strongly encourage applications from women, minorities, LGBTQ+ individuals and people with disabilities.
We aim to provide feedback on applications but don’t know how much interest we’ll get, so we apologise if this isn’t possible.
