About the role

  • This is a mandate to shape the aesthetic bar for a fast-scaling consumer brand, elevate how the product expresses our brand identity, communicates our unique value proposition, and modernize how our design organization works in an AI-native era.
  • We're not looking for a figurehead.
  • We're looking for someone who still has strong opinions about pixels, has run design orgs through real scale, and has already rewired how their teams work with AI-assisted tools - not as an experiment, but as standard practice.

Responsibilities

  • Bring a proven aesthetic sensibility from a top-tier B2C consumer brand and apply it to CookUnity's product surfaces, informing both day-to-day craft and our longer-term design language.
  • Ensure design consistency and brand cohesion throughout the marketing funnel and consumer journey to maximize brand equity and recognition
  • Diagnose where our design org can leapfrog in adopting AI-assisted workflows (Figma AI, generative design, prompt-to-design pipelines) and where the industry is heading, and build a credible, sequenced uplift plan.
  • Coach new tools and workflows into daily practice - pairing directly with our design team on real projects, not just delivering a slide deck of recommendations.
  • Partner closely with Product and Marketing leadership to ensure design strategy is tightly linked to product and business priorities.
  • CookUnity is looking for a design leader to elevate both the craft and the velocity of our design organization and consumer experience - starting in an advisory capacity.
  • Our Product & Design org spans Growth, Marketplace, New 0-> 1 bets, and Operations - building the experiences that connect chefs to the millions of people who eat their food every week.

Requirements

  • Ability to leverage generative AI to increase output quality and speed.
  • You can always find them on LinkedIn with verified profiles.
  • VP or CDO-level experience at a top-tier, high-craft B2C consumer brand, with a track record of shaping product design at scale.
  • Proven experience building and leading high-performing design organizations.
  • Genuine fluency in AI-assisted design tooling (Figma AI, generative workflows, prompt-to-design pipelines) - you've already integrated these into a team's real practice, not just piloted them.
  • A coaching mindset: able to walk into an existing team, diagnose gaps without demoralizing people, and bring them along - part teacher, part champion, part operator.
  • Preferred requirements:
  • Experience in food, wellness, marketplace, or subscription consumer businesses.
