S'more about the team

The Editorial team plays a key role in ensuring customer-facing content is clear and correct, all in the pursuit of error-free recipes. We work with our recipe developers to maintain and improve our style guides as we create delicious and easy-to-follow recipes. This editorial role is not traditional, and we are looking for someone who can take on this challenge.

We are looking for a Recipe Editor for a 6 month contract who will participate in the HelloFresh and Chefs Plate weekly editorial and recipe card creation processes. Reporting to the Senior Recipe Editor, this role is responsible for hunting down errors and inaccuracies on our recipe cards, helping to shape our culinary food voice and making sure our customers have the step-by-step recipe copy they need to successfully prepare our meals at home.  Recipe Editors at HelloFresh must be able to adapt to a fast-paced and ever-changing environment. You will also have the opportunity to lead interactions with global partners through monthly connections to share and learn best practices.

Flexible Hybrid Approach

At HelloFresh, we know that flexible work arrangements are essential in enabling you to do your best work, while balancing your personal and life needs. Offering remote work flexibility, along with the opportunity to interact and collaborate in the office are all a part of creating a great employee experience. 

To meet these needs, we are pleased to provide Flexible Hybrid work. Flexible Hybrid is a people-first approach that is based on choice, trust, personalization, and empowers teams to choose when and how often they work from the office and work from home, in addition to team days and company days. This means a minimum of 2 days in office per week, with most teams in office between 2-3 days a week.

Working Conditions

It’s no surprise that as a food company, we use many ingredients that may be considered common allergens (i.e. peanuts, tree nuts, milk, etc.). Whether this role is based out of our headquarters or one of our distribution centers, it is possible that you may be exposed to such allergens in this role. If you have any concerns with being exposed to any particular food ingredients, including meat, please disclose this during the hiring process.
