CX Risk Coordinator

About CookUnity:
Food has lost its soul to modern convenience. And with it, it has lost the power to nourish, inspire, and connect us. So in 2018, CookUnity was founded as the first-of-its-kind platform that connects the world with the source of truly great food: chefs. Today, CookUnity delivers 50 million meals a year from the industry’s best chefs to homes all over the country. Fresh. Ready-to-eat. And crafted with the passion that nourishes body and soul.
Unwilling to stop there, CookUnity is expanding beyond delivery to become an ever-innovating marketplace focused on our singular mission: empower Chefs to nourish the world.
If that mission has you hungry in more ways than one, you’ve found the right job posting.
About the role:
The CX Risk Coordinator is the analytical and execution engine of the CX Risk team. You will connect customer escalations to operational decisions: tracking trends, finding the pain points behind them, and leading the projects that fix them. This is not a support role. You will be expected to tell the story behind the data, turn problems into structured projects, and drive them through to a measurable result.
Responsibilities:
Incident Analysis & Response
Classify and document incidents across the T1–T5 severity framework, ensuring accurate categorization and post-incident records
Analyze escalation spikes to identify patterns (market, route, meal, or time-based) and surface findings proactively
Contribute to incident post-mortems with structured root cause analysis
Process Improvement & Pain Point Discovery
Map CX and operational workflows end to end and identify where they break, slow down, or generate credits and refunds
Find pain points by combining escalation data, VOC feedback, and direct input from CX specialists, CX Ops, and market teams
Size each pain point (volume, credit exposure, agent effort) so the team can prioritize what matters most
Design and test solutions: process changes, documentation, templates, automations, or tooling requests
Measure the before and after of every improvement and report whether it actually worked
Project Management
Own CX Risk projects from scoping to delivery: define the problem, goal, success metric, owner, and deadline
Keep projects visible and current in the team tracker, with clear status, next actions, and blockers
Coordinate with stakeholders across CX Ops, Operations, Markets, Kitchens, and Product to unblock dependencies
Escalate blockers early and follow up until they are resolved
Communicate progress and outcomes in short, structured updates to the CX Risk Supervisor and leadership
Reporting & Intelligence
Own the weekly escalation summary: top drivers by market, WoW trend, and at least one recommendation per cycle
Maintain and evolve the Credits & Refunds dashboards, ensuring data accuracy and relevance
Contribute to the monthly C&R Digest and VOC analyses shared with CX Leadership, Markets, and Kitchen Ops
Cross-functional Collaboration
Present escalation data and project results in cross-functional meetings, with context and a clear recommendation
Flag recurring root causes to the relevant team with supporting data and a suggested action
Support CX Ops by auditing logistics channels during the afternoon window; surface issues, do not resolve them unilaterally
Qualifications:
2+ years of experience in a CX, Operations, or analytical role, ideally in a high-volume, logistics-adjacent environment
Proven experience leading or coordinating projects end to end, with deadlines, stakeholders, and measurable outcomes
A process-improvement mindset: you notice friction, ask why it happens, and push for a fix rather than a workaround
Comfortable working with data: building spreadsheets, interpreting dashboards, and spotting anomalies without being prompted
Strong written English: you can turn a table of numbers into a short summary a non-technical reader can act on
Experience with Zendesk or a comparable CRM / ticketing platform
Available to work EST hours, including evening coverage
Preferred Requirements:
SQL knowledge for querying and analyzing data independently
Experience with Google BigQuery
Familiarity with process-improvement or project frameworks (Lean, root cause analysis, Kanban, or similar)
Exposure to automation or scripting (Apps Script, Python, n8n, or similar)
Familiarity with delivery or food operations: routes, 3PL dynamics, or last-mile logistics
