    Who We Are

    Meet Fresh Prep — Canada's most convenient and sustainable meal kit delivery service.

    As a certified B Corporation, we make convenient eating healthy and sustainable for the communities we operate in. We source quality local ingredients whenever possible, and deliver in reusable, recyclable and compostable packaging.

Fresh Prep also placed on The Globe and Mail's prestigious 2023 Canada's Top Growing Companies list.

    Who You Are

  • Self Starter. You are comfortable owning a task from start to finish and you take the initiative to make continuous process improvements. You observe strict deadlines and hold yourself accountable for your deliverables.
  • Collaborative Team Player. You are motivated by collaborative team task achievement and driving a results-oriented culture.
  • Adaptable. You thrive in a changing environment and are able to pivot direction easily.
  • Open. You are open to constructive feedback, but aren't afraid to let your opinions be known. You approach the problem at hand from a strategic and empathetic point of view.
  • What You'll Be Doing

  • Take recipes from concept to final product - follow a creative brief given by Manager to create accessible recipes in the test kitchen that adhere to complexity, cost, ingredient, operational, packaging and time constraints
  • Contribute original recipe concepts to customer recipe concept surveys
  • Creating high value products that are holistically informed by business and customer needs
  • Collaborate with other Product Developers and Jr. Product Developers to improve and test each other's products
  • Seek honest and ongoing feedback on meal and product accessibility and flavours and incorporate this feedback into recipes
  • Participate actively in weekly culinary team and other cross-functional meetings
  • Thoroughly understand cooking skill levels and produce recipes that are accessible to all skill levels
  • Work closely and collaboratively with Production, Quality Assurance, Marketing and Purchasing teams
  • Stay up-to-date on food trends

  • Taking ownership of administrative culinary projects and tasks
  • Mentoring and providing guidance to Jr. Recipe Developers
  • Open to travel to other company locations within Canada
  • What We Are Looking For

    A Fresh Prep recipe developer is the ultimate problem solver - equal parts detail-oriented and creative. They are able to conceptualize a recipe, holding the voice of the customer in their mind, as they develop an easy to execute and delicious recipe. They consider balance of flavour, complexity, value-perception, dietary restrictions, operational restrictions, and cost. They are self-sufficient, taking ownership of their work, while remaining open to hearing and implementing feedback.

  • 5+ years experience working in a professional environment related to the culinary field. Able to work in a clean and organized manner. This is not a position for passionate home cooks
  • Experience developing recipes
  • Understanding of current nutrition, food and food industry trends
  • Must be able to accept and process constructive feedback from customers to improve and innovate new and current recipes
  • Self-starter and highly motivated to make meals that are accessible to all cooking skill levels
  • Sense of teamwork and collaboration. Works well in group settings to move projects forward, provide constructive feedback when needed, and support the overall team workload
  • What You Can Expect

  • $55,000 to $65,000 per annum
  • An inclusive, fun workplace filled with fantastic colleagues. We're a certified B-Corporation and our team is passionate about making a positive difference (and also about food)
  • Comprehensive health benefits (including medical, dental, vision and life-insurance) after 90 days of successful employment.
  • Food Perks
  • Please note that the posted salary range for this role may vary based on qualifications, prior experience, or seniority. We are always looking for talented people to join our network, and research shows that while men apply to jobs when they meet an average of 60% of the criteria, women and other marginalized folks tend to only apply when they check every box. So if you think you have what it takes but don't necessarily meet every single point on the job description, or if your desired compensation isn't reflected in this posting, please still get in touch. We'd love to have a chat and see if you could be a great fit.

    Fresh Prep is an Equal Opportunity Employer (EOE) and prohibits discrimination of any kind. We value diversity at our company and at all job levels our goal is to be diverse, inclusive and representative of the communities we operate in. We endeavour to recruit, develop and retain the best talent from a diverse candidate pool and truly believe that diversity, equity and inclusion among our team members is vital to our success as a company. We trust that in applying for a role with us you value this as well
