Job Description
About Calo
Were a food-tech company that started in the GCC and have recently brought our mission to the UK: personalized subscription-based healthy meal plans that people actually enjoy.
Heres the thing: UK operations are different. Labour is expensive the rules are stricter the customer expectations are higher and the way weve always done things wont cut it here. Thats where you come in.
The Challenge
Were looking for someone who can take our UK operations and make them leaner smarter and sharper without losing the heart of what makes Calo special.
If you love a puzzle if inefficiency makes your eye twitch and if you believe food and tech should work with people (not against them) this role is for you.
What Youll Actually Do
- Audit how we currently run things (kitchens logistics packaging delivery labour structure).
- Spot the leaks: time money waste unnecessary steps.
- Re-design workflows staffing models and processes that fit the UK reality (not a GCC copy-paste).
- Work with product to tweak packaging menus and customer experience so theyre both efficient and delightful.
- Bring in smart tech and automation where it makes sense (and fight it off where it doesnt).
- Build playbooks so operations can scale without chaos.
- Balance the math: reduce costs while keeping the food the people and the experience top-tier.
Who You Are
- Youre part operator part hacker part designer.
- Youve worked in large-scale ops-heavy industries (F&B food tech dark kitchens meal kits D2C brands or anything equally messy).
- You enjoy going into the weeds (literally into the kitchen if needed) but can also zoom out and think strategy.
- Numbers dont scare you; inefficiency does. Youre analytical and turn the numbers into results
- Youre not a thats how its done person. Youre a what if we tried it this way person.
- Ideally youve worked in the UK market before and know how to navigate labour costs compliance and the quirks of British customers.
What Success Looks Like
- Lower operating costs without compromising food quality or customer experience.
- Happier teams (because processes make sense).
- UK ops that run like a different beast from GCC ops but with the same Calo soul.
- A scalable model that we can take from London to Manchester Birmingham and beyond.
The Perks
- Be part of a growing food-tech brand expanding globally.
- Work out of London with teams across GCC UK.
- Autonomy to actually make things happen not just suggest them.
- Free meals (of course)
