We’re Tovala, a food-tech company reinventing home cooking to save consumers time. Through an innovative combination of hardware, software, and fresh food delivery, we make it incredibly simple for anyone to prepare and enjoy delicious, home-cooked meals without sacrificing time to do whatever matters to them. Through our superior technology, product experience and food quality, we have separated Tovala from the busy pack of other meal delivery businesses. In the process, we’ve amassed a loyal, rapidly growing following and our retention, product engagement and customer NPS are all best-in-class. We’ve raised over $100mm from great investors like Left Lane Capital, Origin Ventures, Y Combinator and Comcast Ventures and have invested strongly in building a unique culture that fosters growth, personal development and camaraderie.
Position Summary:
At Tovala, we eat data for breakfast… along with our delicious biscuits. Our data team is a small but mighty group of analysts and engineers who help teams across the company make smarter, faster, and more confident decisions.
We are looking for a Senior Data Analyst to lead Menu Analytics, focusing on understanding and optimizing how customers engage with Tovala’s menu and product experience. The ideal candidate combines analytical rigor with a deep curiosity about customer preferences, always asking what drives performance, why customers choose (or skip) certain meals, and how to balance trade-offs associated with different menu decisions. This person will partner closely with our Menu, Product, and Operations teams to answer critical questions such as:
What makes a great menu each week?
How do menu decisions influence customer engagement and satisfaction?
How can we design a menu that maximizes both customer satisfaction and business efficiency?
This role will own Tovala’s menu analytics ecosystem: generating and validating hypotheses, modeling menu performance, and feeding learnings back into weekly decision-making and longer-term menu strategy. They will own core analytics products such as menu performance dashboards, engagement reports, and optimization models – ensuring these tools are actionable, trusted, and accessible for business stakeholders. Success in this role means building a trusted, data-driven foundation for weekly menu decisions and long-term product improvements that delight customers and strengthen Tovala’s business.
