We’re “stirring up” change in local communities through our delicious, handcrafted gourmet soup.

Position Description:
We are planning on expanding our product line to include more than just gourmet soup. We’re looking for a passionate home baker/cook to work with us on new recipe development.
The successful candidate will be:
- Someone who enjoys baking and cooking at home (and friends/family tell you that you are good at it!)
- trying (and following) recipes precisely

- Calculating the cost of recipes (with support) once made
Requirements
- Demonstrated skills in cooking/baking (samples of baked products required if you are chosen to interview)
- Willingness to try recipes that aren’t necessarily fancy, but that are SUPER tasty. (All of the Raw Carrot recipes are cost conscious and easy/appropriate for our staff to make)
- Willingness to create the same recipe multiple times in multiple iterations
- Ability to accept feedback (won’t be personal, we just want to be able to work together to create the right product, which will happen through lots of product adjusting and feedback 😊)
- Ability to work collaboratively
- Interest in understanding the current Raw Carrot soup production model and working to create successful recipes that can be made within kitchen and soup production restrictions
- Ability to cost out recipes (with support)
Education:
None! We’re not looking for a trained chef…. just someone who loves to cook, bake, and create in the kitchen AND is willing to work with us to create some tasty new products that our staff are successful at making and work in tandem with our current soup production schedule.
Position Details:
We are looking for someone who will do the shopping and work primarily from their home kitchen but will bring in food samples regularly (weekly) for trials, brainstorming and feedback.
