Company Description Backed by Y Combinator, CocuSocial is one of the largest culinary experience providers in the US. We connect chefs with venues like hotels and restaurants to host a variety of cooking, baking, cocktail-making and wine-tasting classes. We are growing fast and currently offering in-person experiences in over 30 metro areas in the US, including NYC, LA, DC, Chicago, Atlanta, San Diego, and more. Michelin-starred chefs and celebrity chefs who appeared on Bravo's Top Chef have also taught on our platform. Our mission is to educate, entertain, and bring people together through unique food and drink experiences. We are expanding into Canada in 2026 and are looking for talented Account Managers based in Canada to join our growing team — managing existing US territories while also playing a key role in our Canadian market launch.

Develop a chef instructor recruiting strategy by identifying, screening, and training chef instructors. Coordinate with partner venues and chef instructors to develop class topics and plan class schedules. Strategize areas for growth and expansion within your assigned territories and beyond. Qualifications Bachelor's degree required. 3+ years of working experience in an account management, sales, or business development role. Excellent verbal and written communication and relationship-building skills. Passionate about food and beverage experiences. Excited about working in a fast-paced startup environment. Additional Information Base salary of CAD $90,000–$110,000, plus performance bonus of up to 15% of base salary. Extended health and dental benefits. Work remotely full-time. Paid time off.
