ezCater is the world’s largest online marketplace for catering – a $60+ billion market in the U.S. We make it superbly easy for businesspeople to find and order great food for meetings and events, and we help our catering partners grow their business. We’re backed by $320 million in venture funding and valued at over $1 billion. Our mission is to power the world’s catering, and we’ll make it happen – even more surely if you come help us.

ezCater menus are the beating heart of our marketplace. At the intersection of both sides of our platform, ezCater menus simultaneously guide our customers to place the perfect order and help our partners grow their catering businesses. Whether customers are looking for BBQ sandwiches for their team building seminar, vegan Korean noodles for their department outing, or a festive holiday meal for their office party, our carefully curated menus provide both the attention to detail and the streamlined experience that lead customers to say, time and time again, that we really do make their lives easier.

You are likely thinking… “what’s a Menu Specialist?” Great question, as this position is pretty unique. Simply put, Menu Specialists are responsible for transcribing & updating all of the great menus on our site. After our sales team signs up a new catering partner, it’s the job of our menu team to help curate each partner’s online presence through consultations, menu transcriptions, and content management.

And who are we? We are a team of tech-obsessed foodies who move fast & also know how to beautifully define kimchi & tahini on the fly. We’re driven & dedicated to bringing ezCater menus to the next level of excellence (and also love a good debate about the spiciest hot sauce while we’re doing it).

As a Menu Specialist, you will:

• Transcribe: We’re on track to add thousands of new catering partners in 2019, and they will all need their menus entered onto the platform. Menu specialists will be at the forefront of that charge.
• Consult: We help our catering partners build, update, and optimize their catering menus via phone and email.
• Update: Our 60K+ partners need our assistance keeping their menus current: updating their pricing, offerings, and seasonal specials. Updating menus is the bulk of what we do.
• Review: The content we curate needs a second set of eyes to make it shine. Once you ramp on the basics, you’ll have the opportunity to make sure our quality keeps us ahead of the pack.
• Collaborate: We create our own style standards and team input is our bread & butter.

We’ll provide you with 2 weeks of in-depth training on how to use our tools and how to transcribe menus the ezCater way. But to succeed as a menu specialist, you need to be:

• Devoted to details: Our quality standard is the highest in the business.
• A skilled wordsmith: We spend our days transcribing & writing about food, and we need to move quickly while maintaining a high level of accuracy.
• A big-picture thinker: Our team innovates as a group, and we’ll expect you to meet us two steps ahead.
• Hungry for change: If something isn’t working, we fix it. And then we fix it again.
• A circus-level juggler: You’re comfortable with a high-volume list of varied tasks and are comfortable prioritizing them.
• Tech-knowledgeable: We're completely tech-enabled, and you’ll need to quickly pick up our toolset.
• Industry-savvy: Ideally, you’ve held a position in the food world.
• Driven towards excellence: We’ll expect you to consistently meet or exceed expectations on delegated performance objectives.

Please include a cover letter, but throw everything that is ‘best practice’ about writing cover letters out the window, and please write as explicitly as possible what resonates with you about this job.

What you’ll get from us:

At the same time, you’ll get sane working hours and a huge amount of flexibility around work/life balance. Have people in your life – of any age – who always, often, or sometimes need your help? We make room for that. Have a bad thing or a good thing happen to you? We make room for that, too.

Oh, and here’s what else you’ll get: Market salary, stock options you’ll help make worth a lot, the usual holidays, all-you-can-eat vacation, 401K, health/dental/FSA, long-term disability insurance, subsidized T-passes, a great office in the heart of Boston, a tremendous amount of responsibility and autonomy, wicked awesome co-workers, cupcakes (and many more goodies), and knowing that you helped get this rocket ship to the moon.
