About the Role

We are looking for a Recipe Developer who can cook, teach, and create on camera. You will develop and adapt recipes for the American kitchen, bring them to life through photo & video, and run our test kitchen with the same care you put into a finished plate.

This role sits on the Marketing team and works closely with the Vorwerk Global Recipe Center, the Cookidoo® team, and our field leadership. Every recipe you write has one job: to work beautifully in someone else's home, the first time.

Key Responsibilities

Recipe Development

• Create, test, and refine recipes for Thermomix® TM7™ that reflect how Americans cook and eat today, from weeknight dinners to seasonal entertaining.
• Adapt recipes from the Vorwerk Global Recipe Center for the US market, including US measurements, locally available ingredients, and regional tastes.
• Develop recipes for a range of dietary needs, including vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, and dairy-free.
• Write clear, precise instructions that work for first-time owners and experienced cooks alike, following Thermomix publishing standards.
• Build US recipe collections for Cookidoo® and for seasonal marketing campaigns.
• Develop and test recipes for accessories and complementary products in partnership with Merchandising.

Content Planning & Execution

• Plan and present short-form video on ingredient preparation, accessory use, cooking techniques, and practical tips.
• Partner with videographers, photographers and agencies on storyboards, shot lists, and production schedules.
• Create recipe content for social, email, and Consultant training that is useful first and beautiful always.
• Hold every piece of content to Thermomix brand standards for quality, style, and tone.

Field and Brand Support

• Develop demo recipes and cooking experiences that Consultants can use with confidence in customer demos.
• Bring culinary expertise to product launches, trainings, field events, and national conferences.
• Represent Thermomix at press, influencer, and partner events as needed.

Test Kitchen Operations

• Manage ingredient and equipment inventory, procurement, supplier relationships, purchase orders, and budget tracking for the test kitchen.
• Keep the kitchen clean, organized, and food-safe, and coordinate maintenance and repairs.
• Coordinate logistics for onsite shoots, meetings, and events, including catering and dietary requirements.
• Maintain accurate ingredient and utensil data in the recipe platform.

Culinary Insight

• Track food trends, seasonal moments, and competitor activity.
• Bring forward ideas that connect what people are cooking to Thermomix and to the marketing calendar.

Key Competencies

• 3+ years of experience in recipe development, culinary content, a test kitchen, or a professional kitchen.
• A culinary degree or equivalent professional experience.
• Comfort on camera and a natural ability to teach.
• Excellent writing skills and real precision with measurements, timing, and instructions.
• Strong organizational skills, with experience managing inventory, vendors, and budgets.
• ServSafe Food Manager certification, or the ability to obtain it within 90 days of hire.
• Ability to stand for extended periods and lift up to 50 pounds.

Nice to Have

• Experience with Thermomix® or other connected kitchen appliances.
• Experience with a direct selling or community-driven brand.
• Food styling, photography, or basic video editing skills.

Who Thrives Here

We hire for three qualities, and we look for them in every conversation.

• Humble. You care more about a recipe working in someone else's kitchen than about the credit for it. You welcome feedback from a colleague, a Consultant, or a customer.
• Hungry. You go past the brief. You notice what is missing and fix it before anyone asks.
• Smart. You read the room. You know when to be exact and when to be warm, whether you are writing a recipe or presenting to a room of Consultants.

Key Relationships

• Internal: Marketing team, Vorwerk Global Recipe Center, Cookidoo® team, Merchandising, and field leadership including Team Leaders, Branch Managers, and Consultants.
• External: Video and photography agencies, suppliers, and PR and influencer partners.

Why Join Thermomix USA

This role puts you at the center of how people discover what Thermomix® can do. The recipes you develop become the first meal a new owner cooks, the dish a Consultant shares in a demo, and the recipe someone saves for Sunday. You will shape how food, product, and storytelling come together in the American kitchen, and see your work in homes, on Cookidoo®, and in the hands of Consultants across the country.
