Available online at  and in retail at more than 2,100 Kroger grocery stores, Home Chef is committed to inspiring and enabling more people to cook simple, delicious meals, no matter how busy they are.

In 2023, Home Chef introduced a new brand, Tempo! Tempo features a rotating selection of ready-to-heat meals delivered directly to your door. These meals are better‑for‑you versions of familiar favorites, designed to save you time and reduce stress while maintaining a healthy lifestyle. Our Tempo menu includes options that are protein-packed, fiber‑rich, calorie and carb conscious, keto‑friendly, and dietitian‑approved.

Similar to our recipes, we recognize that variety is the spice of life, and therefore, our employees also bring their uniqueness and color to our fantastic team. We’re eager to work with humble team players and pragmatic next‑level thinkers to innovate on Home Chef’s offerings.

As part of Home Chef’s Marketing team, this role plays a central role in the production of performance‑based social media content across paid and organic channels.

Expertise in on‑camera and UGC‑style production, a nuanced command of platform‑specific trends, and data‑informed storytelling instincts are essential for success in this fast‑paced, collaborative environment. Just as important, this is a versatile, do‑it‑all creative role: the ideal candidate also brings light copywriting skills—crafting punchy hooks, captions, VO scripts and on‑screen text in Home Chef’s voice—and basic design fluency to produce simple graphics, thumbnails, and work within templated assets that keep content polished and on‑brand.
