We’re Tovala, a food-tech company reinventing home cooking to save consumers time. Through an innovative combination of hardware, software, and fresh food delivery, we make it incredibly simple for anyone to prepare and enjoy delicious, home-cooked meals without sacrificing time to do whatever matters to them. Through our superior technology, product experience and food quality, we have separated Tovala from the busy pack of other meal delivery businesses. In the process, we’ve amassed a loyal, rapidly growing following and our retention, product engagement and customer NPS are all best-in-class. We’ve raised over $100mm from great investors like Left Lane Capital, Origin Ventures, Y Combinator and Comcast Ventures and have invested strongly in building a unique culture that fosters growth, personal development and camaraderie.
Job DescriptionTovala is unique. We have invented a product and service that gives people the best of home cooking, without the work. We’ve grown to nine figures of ARR and maintained best-in-class customer retention and engagement. To get to the next level, though, we need a marketer that understands how to translate that into mass adoption. We are looking for someone who likes big challenges, who is ambitious, who is confident with numbers/data, and who has a strong instinct for what will resonate with consumers.
We’re looking for an executive leader that’s willing to build conviction behind new ideas, but that understands and appreciates business strategy and that, most of all, has a drive to win.Chicago Preferred / Remote with travel is okay (1 week / month)
