ABOUT US:

We’re Yuppiechef, and see ourselves as helping people find moments of joy at home. We’re here to offer outstanding and memorable service, while selling things that our customers love using. We’re foodies and home lovers and aesthetes and early adopters, and we’re passionate learners more than we’re experts. We have a loved online store and nearly 20 beautiful physical stores across SA, and are a proud member of the dynamic Mr Price Group. Our offices in Westlake, Cape Town, have a view of the mountains, a beautiful Rancilio coffee machine, and plenty of books to borrow.

Taking direction from our Lead Content Editor and Creative Lead, you’ll check copy, specs, images and any other detail to make sure we have everything we need to list new products at Yuppiechef’s high standards — at high volumes. You’ll also be responsible for managing our inbound customer reviews and making updates and edits to existing product pages.

• A tertiary qualification in English, communication, copywriting or journalism that would be advantageous
