About the role

Yhangry (W22) is a marketplace for private chefs

Yhangry is like Airbnb, but for finding a chef to cook for an event: Their birthday, a hen party or a family Christmas gathering.

We’re changing the lives of chefs:

  1. Chefs earn 3x more than working in a restaurant, whilst working fewer hours. E.g. Chefs working 60 hours per week can maintain the same income by just doing 1-2 private dining events per week.
  2. Chefs set their own prices, create their own menus - they get to cook what they love.

We are backed by Y Combinator (just like Airbnb, Coinbase, and other unicorns) and featured on Dragons’ Den.

Why this is a great time to join?

📈 We grew 8x in the past 2 years.

💰 We raised $4m in funding from institutional and angel investors.

🔥 We have hit breakeven which is extremely strong for a high growth, early stage startup.

💪We are a small but mighty team 5 people based in London: You’ll be working closely with the founders and engineers and have a lot of ownership.

🌍 We are about to expand internationally: You’ll be part of launching yhangry in our first city in the US and shape our expansion playbook for the many cities to come.

🦄 We are looking for amazing A players to join our rockstar team on this exciting journey

We’re looking for a Junior Product/Growth Manager to help grow and support the core of our business: our chef community. This is a high-impact role: you will define how we attract, activate, and retain chefs on yhangry.

You’ll work closely with Heinin, the co-founder, across the chef acquisition funnel end-to-end, from getting chefs excited to join the platform, to helping them succeed with their first ten bookings, to building a thriving community that values engagement and growth.

  3. Chef Success & Retention: Help chefs get their first booking and reach 10+ bookings.
  4. Community Engagement: Increase chef engagement with initiatives like our upcoming chef stories podcast and community meetups.
  5. Data Analysis: Track and analyze demand vs. supply by location, cuisine, and pricing to ensure optimal coverage.

Requirements

  • A natural self-starter with strong ownership of projects from start to finish.
  • Excellent numerical and analytical skills—you love data and know your way around Excel or Google Sheets
  • Superb communication skills to engage chefs and work with cross-functional teams.
  • A knack for problem-solving and fast, reliable execution with attention to detail.
  • UK-based (ideally London) as you’ll be working from our London office 2x per week.
