    Full time
    Description

    Job Description

    Farmer's Fridge makes fruits and vegetables accessible and approachable for everyone. We offer a variety of fresh, healthy, ready-to-eat meals and snacks through our fresh food vending machines, wholesale partners, and our office pantry solution — providing chef-curated meals to customers within seconds. Today, we operate a network of Fridges and partner with clients nationwide in high-foot-traffic areas, such as airports, hospitals, universities, and large office buildings — where there is limited accessibility to fresh, healthy, grab-n-go options.

    We care deeply about what we're creating and aspire to make sure our customers feel that through every touchpoint. This shows up in many ways across the business. We are committed to prioritizing food safety, we are passionate about product quality, we value our employees, we champion the best idea no matter where it comes from, and we're committed to making an overall positive impact as we scale.

    About This Role

    As the R&D Chef at Farmer's Fridge, you will be responsible for bringing new products to life for our customers by developing recipes that meet cost, brand, operations, and strategy goals.

    Working out of our corporate test kitchen, you will create new menu items on our innovation timelines that meet the quality standards that our customers know and love. You are creative, strategic, and data-driven. You will work collaboratively with our R&D Engineering, Merchandising, Marketing, and Procurement teams to develop recipes that meet the constraints and capabilities of our business.

    Reporting to the VP of Menu & Marketing, you will be at the center of some of the most significant decisions we make for our menu. You are creative, detail-oriented, highly organized, dependable, and enjoy rolling up your sleeves to do whatever it takes to get things done. You take the initiative to drive results with limited direction. Once ramped, this role will have a high level of autonomy to deliver on recipe development goals that achieve measurable results.

    This is an on-site role. Our office is located at 2000 W Fulton St. Chicago, IL 60612

    What You'll Do:

    New Product Development

    • Oversees all aspects of new product innovation from initial ideation through viability:
    • Develop benchtop recipes that meet the cost, nutrition, shelf life, food safety and other company goals.
    • Execute tasting and customer panels to ensure recipes meet purchase intent and sensory targets.
    • Guide R&D process engineer and production teams during R&D scale-up testing and pilot runs.
    • Works cross-functionally with merchandising, marketing, procurement, and R&D engineer teams to create dishes aligned with company goals, guardrails, and capabilities.
    • Stay current with trending ingredients and flavors to include in future recipe development
    • Partner with the Procurement team to identify new ingredients and suppliers to support innovation or continuous improvement work streams.
    • Active thought partners with internal stakeholders to define and refine our forward-looking brand and sustainability roadmaps.

    Continuous Improvement

    • Capture and utilize data (from internal stakeholders and customers) to ensure we're meeting the quality standards our customers expect.
    • Analyze customer feedback and sales trends to set renovation priorities and incorporate learnings into new recipes. Quickly iterate on recipes based on customer feedback.
    • Assists in solving recipe issues that arise at scale.

    Culinary & Test Kitchen Management

    • Champion a culture of passion for the food we produce.
