Key Responsibilities

• Travel to kitchen sites across the UK to execute 4‑5 trainings per week
• Train kitchen teams on food preparation and presentation, as well as the GK playbook and brand‑specific playbooks, ensuring every site goes live to standard
• Prepare and plan the following week’s launches while executing the current week’s
• Work closely with Account Managers to ensure a smooth handover of newly launched kitchens

• Be the face of Growth Kitchen in the kitchen – professional, energetic, and representing our standards

Requirements

• A background working hands‑on in restaurants or professional kitchens is essential – you understand how kitchens work and can earn the respect of kitchen staff quickly
• Comfortable with significant weekly travel across the UK and open to flexible working hours (but never on weekends or holidays)
• Highly organised and self‑sufficient – you'll be managing a packed schedule with multiple moving parts
• A strong communicator who can train and motivate teams you've just met
• Hungry to learn, grow, and progress – this role rewards people who take ownership
• Resilient and adaptable: no two kitchens are the same
• Fluent in English and right to work in the UK is a must

Benefits

• A clear path into an Account Management role
• Work at the frontline of one of the UK's most exciting delivery restaurant businesses
• Get hands‑on exposure to multiple restaurant brands, kitchen operations, and the delivery platform ecosystem
• Work with ambitious, fun, and driven people who care about doing things properly
• Be part of a company at the cutting edge of the restaurant sector
• Competitive salary and stock option compensation, pension scheme & health insurance
