Job summary

VK Capital Ventures Inc. in Houston is seeking a Chef Co-op Success Manager to own the onboarding journey from application through readiness to first booking, working with the COO's chef cohort program.

You will coordinate cohorts, track each chef's progress, align ready cooks with dinners, classes and demos, and surface onboarding experience insights to improve CX and outcomes. You will collaborate with the founding team to refine processes and grow the co-op's impact.

Qualifications

• Community, cohort, marketplace-supply, or member-success management experience
• Chef or hospitality background a strong plus - you will be credible in a kitchen conversation
• Warm, organized, relentless follow-through: nobody in your cohort goes dark
• Bilingual English/Spanish strongly preferred - our co-op recruits bilingually, including retreat chefs

Responsibilities

• Own chef onboarding end-to-end: application -> profile -> readiness -> first booking
• Run the cohort rhythm with Siobhan's program: check-ins, readiness milestones, and honest feedback in both directions
• Track every chef's path in our systems - who is ready, who is stuck, and what unblocks them
• Connect ready chefs to placement demand (dinners, classes, demos, retreats) with the placement lane
• Surface chef experience into our CX data: what onboarding feels like, measured, not guessed
