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 CookUnity CookUnity is a chef-to-you marketplace connecting talented chefs with consumers, revolutionizing meal delivery. We bring small-batch, restaurant-quality meals to eaters nationwide, crafted by a diverse collective of all-star chefs. With over 100 inspired chefs from cities like NYC, LA, Austin, and more, our weekly subscription offers a wide range of hand-crafted meals to cater to various palates and dietary preferences. By delivering over 1 million meals per month, we're also empowering working chefs, tripling their income, and supporting their growth. CookUnity believes in fueling stronger communities, partnering with Food Bank For New York City to combat food insecurity across all five boroughs.
About
the Team: The B2B team operates like a startup within CookUnity — entrepreneurial, fast-paced, and bold in its ambitions. We are building a new category at the intersection of food, healthcare, and outcomes-driven nutrition. Our Healthcare vertical is one of our highest-priority growth areas, and the Medicaid segment represents one of the most meaningful and underpenetrated opportunities in our pipeline. This role reports directly to the Head of B2B and will be a senior, foundational hire on our Healthcare team — responsible for growing penetration within the Medicaid line of business.
The role: We are looking for a Senior Account Executive with deep expertise in Medicaid, Medicaid policy, and selling to organizations that serve Medicaid clients. You will lead our go-to-market strategy for Medicaid. This is not a typical sales role — it is a builder's role. You will define the playbook, prospect your own leads, forge the relationships, and close the complex, high-value deals that will shape CookUnity's presence in the Medicaid ecosystem. Your primary focus will be on Medicaid Managed Care Organizations (MMCOs), Community Health Centers/provider organizations serving Medicaid clients, and state/local government agencies administering the Medicaid program. You will leverage CookUnity's unique position at the intersection of food access, nutrition, and health outcomes to win partnerships that drive both revenue and mission impact.
Responsibilities: Own and drive the full Medicaid sales motion — from pipeline development through contract negotiation and close. Build the go-to-market playbook for selling into Medicaid and related entities Develop and maintain senior-level relationships with CMOs, VPs of Care Management,Chief Health Equity Officers, Medicaid Directors, and other key decision-makers within target organizations. Identify and prioritize high-value Medicaid opportunities, crafting tailored proposals that speak to outcomes, member engagement, and compliance
requirements. Manage complex, multi-stakeholder enterprise sales cycles with long lead times, multiple decision-makers, and regulatory considerations. Collaborate cross-functionally with product, operations, and marketing to ensure CookUnity's solutions are positioned compellingly and delivered seamlessly. Serve as CookUnity's internal subject matter expert on the Medicaid ecosystem — regulatory landscape, funding structures, procurement processes, and key stakeholders. Represent CookUnity at relevant conferences, industry events, and state-level forums to build brand presence and pipeline within the Medicaid space. Maintain accurate forecasting and pipeline hygiene in Salesforce, and provide regular reporting to leadership on Medicaid segment performance. Partner with Bruno and the leadership team to refine our Medicaid ICP strategy and prioritize the accounts with the highest potential impact. Minimum
Requirements: 8–10+ years of enterprise sales experience, with a significant portion focused on Medicaid, managed care, or government-funded healthcare programs. Demonstrated success closing high-value deals with Medicaid MCOs, or state/county agencies. Deep working knowledge of the Medicaid ecosystem: funding structures, managed care contracting, SDOH initiatives, and value-based care frameworks. Proven ability to navigate long, complex sales cycles with multiple stakeholders and regulatory considerations. Experience with competitive procurements and RFP strategy. Exceptional communication and executive presence — comfortable presenting to C-suite and state agency leadership. Proficiency in Salesforce and structured pipeline management. Track record of consistently meeting or exceeding quota on enterprise deals exceeding $250K–$500K+ in contract value Preferred
requirements: Established network within Medicaid MCOsor related state and federal agencies. Experience working directly within a Medicaid health plan, FQHC, an agency administering the Medicaid programs, or a Medicaid-focused vendor. Experience selling to or launching new programs for MMCOs or state/local government serving Medicaid clients. Passion for food as medicine, health equity, or
the role of food access in improving health outcomes for underserved populations. Experience in a high-growth startup or scale-up environment — you are comfortable building without a full playbook. Solid understanding of the Medicaid program, funding authorities, and mechanisms for advocating new services or enhanced reimbursement at the state and federal level.
