ezCater is the worlds largest online marketplace for catering a $60+ billion market just in the U.S. Businesspeople use us to find and order great food for meetings and events; restaurants and caterers use us to grow their catering business. Were backed by Insight Partners, Iconiq Capital, Wellington, Lightspeed, and GIC, and in early 2019 were valued at $1.25 billion. COVID slammed us, but we responded by finding new customer segments and seizing the rare opportunity COVID offered: when in life does a very successful operation get a do-over? Come help us power Food For Work even better than we did it the first time.
Whats a Senior Copywriter, at ezCater?
A writer. A thinker. An idea person. A communicator. Someone who can write with wit, directness, and craft. Its someone who knows when to use a complete sentence. And when to use a fragment. Most of all, someone who knows and respects our users, and speaks clearly and helpfully with them.
