Careers at City Pantry

Our Mission

Making working lives better.

WHY WORK WITH US

Well, you’ll be changing company culture from the inside out – all through food. It sounds ambitious, and it’s true. There’s more:

YOU'LL OWN YOUR DAY-TO-DAY

Micro-management is for the stone age. Autonomy is everything, and you’ll be free to tackle your challenges with support when you need it.

YOU'LL GROW, AND GROW QUICKLY

We’re a fast-growing start-up, so when things move forward, they move quickly. Our product changes make radical improvements – we’ve just redesigned our whole platform, with international scaling next on our list.

YOU'LL BE PUSHED, HARD

We’re at the forefront of a huge, ever-changing market, and we’re working out how to own it. This means we’re facing, testing and solving the most complex stuff out there – and you’ll be on the front line.

YOU'LL LEARN FROM EVERYONE

Mastering a fast-moving environment means developing new skills and developing them quickly. Your work will require you to learn at speed, and become an expert faster than you thought possible.

YOU'LL MAKE A DIFFERENCE

No-one at City Pantry is here to make up the numbers. Everyone’s work makes real impacts: everyone wins when we win, everyone learns when we learn.

YOU'LL EAT LOTS OF DELICIOUS FOOD

You can’t change the London food scene without eating the food. Our vendors are the capital’s best kitchens, so we take every opportunity to get around the table together.

Our Equal Opportunities Statement

We love exploring the diverse nature of food, but what we pride ourselves in most is celebrating diversity within our growing community and team. Employee wellbeing is at the heart of our business and that’s why we do not ignore differences but embrace them by creating a safe environment that is inclusive and free of discrimination. We want everyone to bring their true selves to work, so join us at our table! We can’t wait to meet you.

As a strategic project lead at City Pantry, I have the opportunity to work alongside amazing colleagues every single day to shape and drive the future growth of the business. At City Pantry, we don’t compromise on our goals and we don’t compromise on our values either, making it both a challenging and incredibly rewarding place to work. Needless to say, joining the City Pantry rocket ship has been one heck of a ride so far!

I joined City Pantry as an intern after going backpacking for a year after university. It seemed a great opportunity to work for a fast-growing, fun and dynamic company whilst combining my interests in both technology and food. I now head up the operations team. We're using technology to help teams across London work better together whilst showcasing some of the best food on offer in the city.

I joined City Pantry in 2019 as Content Marketing Manager, and it’s honestly the best company I’ve ever worked at! I’m in charge of setting the content marketing strategy, and it’s been an exciting process establishing and developing the brand tone of voice. We’re given plenty of autonomy here and everyone’s voice matters. I look forward to seeing how the brand will evolve as part of the Just Eat Takeaway group.

As long as I can remember, I have loved to create, fix and improve things. After a short but intense project for the government, I was craving a job with exciting problems and palpable, immediate impact of solving them. Passionate about food, maps and tech, my move to City Pantry was a no-brainer — I love my responsibility for anything tech, the sense of ownership, and the team that I am proud to be a part of.

When I joined City Pantry in 2018 as a young entrepreneur, I knew I wanted to join a start-up and experience being part of a growing team. The journey has been all I had hoped for and more. Growing from a Customer Success role to Sales Manager, I’ve had the pleasure of working on various projects with teams from across the business. I’m looking forward to working within the Just Eat Takeaway group to build a global brand!

I joined City Pantry in early 2017 as a developer. I had to hit the ground running with a whole new website to be built from day one, but the pace and scope of the challenge was thrilling. It was made even easier by the close-knit nature of our teams (and of course, the delicious food that never stops coming in). These days, I'm always busy creating the next great feature for our product, making our customers' lives easier (and more delicious).

Perks

You’re working with awesome colleagues, getting stuck into challenging work, and changing company culture for the better. But there’s even more on the menu…

FUN

We enjoy delicious lunches provided by some of London’s best kitchens three times a week, with treats throughout the day. We also hold City Pantry-wide socials every few weeks – any excuse – while teams organise their own social get-togethers. Of course, there's no pressure to attend.

FREEDOM

We offer unlimited holiday. Yes - unlimited. You are free to invest in personal projects, travel further afield, learn a new language, take an intensive sushi-making course – or anything else – on your schedule. Working is flexible too. Whether someone's under the weather, a delivery is on its way, you're booking *that thing* or you need a different headspace, we all work at home, or elsewhere, from time to time.

DEVELOPMENT

We contribute £2000 towards your personal development and learning, whether it’s a webinar series or a book you’ve been after. We also learn together, holding regular internal sessions on a wide variety of fascinating topics, with food and drink as standard.

WELLBEING

As well as having a nourishing lunch three times a week, we have a monthly wellbeing activity budget to provide perks like massage therapists and smoothie bikes into the office.
