Senior Portfolio Culinary Manager (m/f/d)
Intro
Making healthy eating effortless, with plant\-based, chef\-crafted meals that deliver maximum nutrition, flavour, and convenience. At Every, we help people reach their health goals while protecting the planet. Our vision goes beyond quick fixes. It is about sustainable wellbeing.
We are looking for a Senior Portfolio Culinary Manager (m/f/d) to own and scale our culinary product portfolio across multiple producer relationships and our full add\-on range. This role carries end\-to\-end accountability, from briefing and developing through to post\-launch performance, margin review, and SKU optimisation.
Success in this role rests on two things in equal measure. You need to be stellar in execution, moving briefings, tastings, and launches forward with precision and pace across several producers at once, and you need a sharp analytical skillset to read portfolio performance and translate those signals into decisive commercial decisions. On top of that, building systems that hold up as the portfolio scales is a must. We need someone who designs the process, runs it tightly, and lets the numbers steer it.
You will bring deep expertise in food product development management, supplier management, and commercial portfolio thinking, with a proven track record in D2C food or FMCG. You will work cross\-functionally with Operations, Marketing, and Digital Product to ensure our meals perform as well on paper as they do on the plate.
Your responsibilities
- Own the full development cycle for the Lunch and Dinner meal portfolio across core producer relationships: briefing, ingredient sourcing, recipe development, tasting, nutritional validation, packaging lock\-in, launch coordination, post\-launch optimisation, and commercial review.
- Manage the add\-on portfolio on a continuous optimisation cadence: ongoing performance review, SKU scoring, and category strategy rather than milestone\-based pipeline execution.
- Strategic oversight of producer lanes covering pipeline and optimisation, in close partnership with Quality Management on quality\-related topics.
- Serve as the primary OPS procurement liaison when decisions directly affect the culinary customer experience.
- Lead portfolio performance reviews and SKU scoring across owned categories.
- Design and operate a post\-launch review framework.
- Synthesise customer insight and feed findings into roadmap planning.
- Track weighted average CM1 margin and drive directional improvement per lane by Q1 2027\.
What you bring
- 5\+ years in food product management, culinary product, or category management in FMCG or D2C food context.
- Direct experience managing producer or supplier relationships end to end.
- Commercial track record: you have managed margin, COGS, and performance data as part of your core work.
- Strong commercial instinct: you track what is working and act on what is not.
- Ability to build trust with producers and internal stakeholders quickly.
- Comfortable managing across two very different operational rhythms simultaneously.
- Data\-driven approach to portfolio decisions, including CM1 and attachment rate analysis.
- You do not wait for systems to be built. You build them.
- Operates independently in ambiguous, fast\-moving environments.
- Strong communicator across functions: OPS, Marketing, Digital Product, Quality Management.
- A genuine interest in food and how people eat, not just as a category but as something that matters.
- Fluent in English; German is a plus but not mandatory.
What we offer
- A high level of ownership in your role from day one
- A beautiful top floor office in Kreuzberg, with AC, 5 min from Moritzplatz
- Free lunches at the office
- 30% employee discount on Every products
- Subsidised Deutschlandticket and Urban Sports Club membership
- 30 days of annual leave
- Primarily on\-site, since tastings and producer samples happen in person with room for remote days
