Why FOODit?

FOODit has the goal of eradicating terrible meals everywhere and creating the ultimate restaurant experience! No more cold takeaways, wrong orders or overhyped let-down meals. Our ingredients are simple: technology, passion and marketing. We know we’ve won, when anybody can can discover, order and eat great food on our platform.

Let’s end bad meals.

Who we are.

FOODit is a small start-up based in Shoreditch & Enfield, and with that comes the friendly, self-driven people you would expect, all sharing a love for food. These people are not just employees or coworkers, they are FOODies; cultural extraordinaires who are shaping the future of food!  We are also backed by one of the largest food distributors in the country. As a result, we have the privilege of being a growing, creative start-up but with the stability and financial backing to see us reach our goal.

The Role & Tech Stack

We are looking for a Product Manager to help us reimage how people find their favourite food on the internet. You will be the PM to our new marketplace, a platform that will help consumers search out and order exactly what they want online. The platform will also act as a huge community board, using photos, reviews and other tools for anyone to find the right dish for them. To summarise, you will be building a marketplace that allows a restaurant’s meal and the right consumer to find each other (like a culinary Tinder and/or Cilla Black, but with tools to filter out ‘the bad meals’).

You should be skilled at wireframing with Balsamiq, designing and using Trello (which is how we work with our developers). You have a great talent in conveying your ideas to the team, and fastidious with the finer details to make sure everything is clear and understood by all. You’ll work with a talented team of engineers communicating the product to them, to achieve the FOODit Marketplace. You will be responsible for understanding the needs of customers and know how to alter design to achieve optimism using KISSmetrics. You can see how the decisions you are making today, will affect the users of tomorrow.

If you are comfortable being the one holding the roadmap, and calling the shots on discussions that you organised and prioritized, then you’ve got the spark we are after. You can make it all happen!
