Chef Robotics is recruiting an experienced COO/CBO to work directly for the CEO and own the business and go-to-market aspects of the company, as well as provide leadership to the administrative functions (HR, Legal, Finance).
Chef’s goal is to bring autonomous robots to every commercial kitchen around the world. We are solving the number one problem the food industry faces--a crushing labor shortage--and we're catching extremely fast customer traction.
Our initial deals have our committed ARR over seven figures with an ability to scale rapidly in a multi-trillion-dollar market.
We’re also playing in an extremely constrained problem space—the kitchen—and in a substantially less regulated industry than autonomous vehicles.
We are a team of just under 30 right now and expect huge growth in 2023, right now we are focused on finding the most impactful and experienced leaders in: Strategic Operations, Software (Perception/Autonomy), Business Development, and Product Management (technical).
