Now Hiring: Kitchen and Blog Assistant

Good news! We’re hiring a kitchen and blog assistant for our growing What Molly Made team.

We’re excited for someone to join our content creation team to share our love and knowledge of food and how it can impact our bodies, families, and more. Let’s get to it! 👇

Who Are We?

We founded What Molly Made in 2015, with a focus on easy, healthy recipes that use natural ingredients, often fitting into special diets like gluten free, paleo or anti-inflammatory. We emphasize personal stories with food,  life, home decor, hormones, and travel, building genuine connection and trust with readers.

Our mission is to share good food that makes people feel good too through easy-to-follow recipes that inspire people to get in the kitchen with real ingredients and share real moments around the table.

We’re a small (and mighty!) team of passionate creators, artists, business minds, and craftspeople who take pride in the work we do and are constantly thinking about how the things we create can help improve someone’s life.

A large part of how we do this is by creating recipes to arm people with the knowledge and confidence that the recipes will turn out every time. We aim to create the best, most well-tested recipes, with creative videos and step by step photos.

We need someone willing to assist in weekly project management of photo shoots as well as hands-on cooking the day of shooting. This role will also be responsible for photos management and formatting.

If you’re excited about healthy food, cooking, and project management, consider applying to join our team!
