Marley Spoon is a fast growing business in the meal kit delivery industry.
Our mission is bringing delightful, market-fresh and easy cooking back to the people while building a sustainable supply chain for a waste-free world. This is a highly competitive business in the all regions with many players but the overall industry and Marley Spoon in particular have experienced unprecedented growth in the past year related to the global pandemic. This has accelerated adoption of our business model and opened opportunities to continue the momentum much earlier than previously anticipated. As the business scaled to meet this increased demand we have identified a need for a more disciplined approach to project management including the development of rigorous systems and processes to streamline project management efforts, ensure appropriate governance and get projects to market on time, on budget and delivering against agreed KPI’s. We have big aspirations to continue to disrupt the grocery industry but also the broader consumer packaged goods industry and this will involve a continuous stream of new projects/ideas to be brought to market.
