Our DREAM? To be the most-loved way to eat dinner, and for every meal to leave the planet better off. Gousto is changing how people shop, cook and eat food at home. It's an incredibly exciting time to join our team!

Our Menu tribe is at the heart of everything at Gousto. From designing our delicious recipes to building incredible platforms for our customers to access them, the team has a crucial role and Finance is a key part of this.

We have an exciting opportunity for a highly commercial and analytical candidate to join our growing Finance team and own all things ROI for the Menu tribe.
