Workweek Lunch is looking for a part-time assistant to support WWL’s Content Manager and CEO on the marketing side in New York City (we will consider US-based remote candidates as well).
This role is ideal for a social-media-savvy creative with a love of home cooking, meal prep and a genuine interest in marketing.
In this role, you’ll learn what goes into marketing a digital subscription product (invaluable experience in today’s subscription model-loving world!) and create content for accounts that reach hundreds of thousands of people worldwide.
You will help our Content Manager and CEO with social media account management, blog management, brand partnerships, email marketing and some general administrative support. Note that all roles at Workweek Lunch interact with customers, so be ready to chat with other foodies!
You’ll be crucial to the success of our brand communication, social reach and helping us stay on top of (and on track with) all the fun free and paid content we whip up at Workweek Lunch.
WWL has big plans to scale up in 2022 and the years to come. We always strive to help our members get more creative and confident in the kitchen by serving up fresh, fun recipes and airtight meal plans. Outside of our core business (the subscription), we’re currently building out new digital products and services to help our loyal community even more in the kitchen. On the marketing side, we’re taking video and SEO very seriously this year, which requires all hands on deck! Want to be a part of the action?

About Workweek Lunch:
WWL is an online meal plan subscription, food blog and now cookbook dedicated to helping people all over the world meal prep to save time, money and eat more homecooked meals.
I started WWL in 2016 as a food blog and Instagram account and we launched the subscription in 2018. The subscription includes weekly meal plans, tested meal prep recipes, a meal planning tool and access to a private community. We currently have thousands of members worldwide.
The WWL Program is the only meal plan subscription that aligns with Intuitive Eating and is not made for weight loss, calorie counting or food restriction, which is one of the main reasons people come to us over our competitors.
WWL reaches over half a million across Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, YouTube and this site, and we have been featured in the New York Times, Women’s Health, Buzzfeed, The Kitchn, NBC Better, Prevention and more.
Our Culture & Mission
The mission behind Workweek Lunch is to help people create their own systems around food that allow them to live a more full life. It’s easy to feel bogged down by worrying about every meal. Our content and services help busy folks with meal planning, recipe searching, grocery list making, food budgeting and learning how to streamline the cooking process so they can spend less time in the kitchen and more time doing what’s important to them.
We currently have a small entirely remote team of four employees (including me) and three amazing contractors that work with us monthly. Most of our team members have been with WWL for over a year to three years! Everyone on our team is friendly, inclusive and we’re all self-starters. We’re passionate about serving our community and customers, learning more about the ins and outs of our industry and having fun while working, of course!
At WWL, we work hard and we get it all done, but it’s important to us that work is never a source of stress. We’re making meal plans, not saving lives. We value our work and having a life outside it, which is parallel to our philosophy around meal prep and food.
