At Appetise , we're on a mission to revolutionise the way food companies understand their shoppers.
Imagine being the first company in the world to track not just what people buy, but why and when they choose certain products.
That's what we do.
We're pioneering a brand-new approach called Share of Occasion , giving food brands real-time insights into consumer behaviour, backed by data no one else has access to.
For years, market research has been slow, expensive, and out of reach for many.
Only the biggest food companies with large budgets could afford to get insights on shopper habits.
We're changing that.
Our data isn't just about who's buying what—it's about the real motivations behind those choices, from grocery planning to product usage.
This is a game-changer for marketers in the food industry, empowering them to make smarter, faster decisions that directly drive growth.
We're disrupting the market by bringing these insights to life through our shoppable recipe platform, already loved by over 60,000 households in New Zealand and Australia.
Think of it as the ultimate meal-planning tool, where consumers find their perfect recipes and brands get invaluable data on consumer choices.
Why does this matter?
Because we're unlocking insights that food brands have never had before—showing them their true competition, and helping them stay ahead by deeply understanding their customers' needs and habits.
With Appetise, every meal becomes a chance to gain an edge.
We're a growing, passionate team of 20, and with big ambitions for 2025 and beyond, we're looking to add new talent to help us pull off this bold vision.
Our partners, consumers, and investors are all behind us, and we're ready to make waves globally.
If you're ready to join a company that's breaking new ground in the world of consumer insights, we'd love to meet you.
Requirements We're looking for a Senior Product Designer to take the helm of our product design efforts collaborating with our UX Designer, crafting world-class experiences for our B2C customers focused on meal planning, shopping and cooking and our B2B FMCG Marketers who want Insights on consumer eating behaviours.
In this role, you'll lead design strategy, champion user-centred design best practice, and collaborate closely with cross-functional teams to bring innovative solutions to life.
This is your opportunity to shape the future of Appetise, where your designs will empower users, drive engagement, and deliver real-world impact.
You'll help us on our mission to transform Appetise into a world-class product company.

As long as the mahi is done, we are happy.
Our Christchurch office is pet-friendly and includes fun times like Treat Tuesdays, quarterly team days, and in-office games.
Once a quarter, we put down the tools and have some fun for a day—kayaking, zip-lining, and paint and sip have been some of our recent faves.
These fun moments aren't just perks, though (and they take place during work hours).
They show the importance we place on working as a team and being passionate about what we do.
We're open to discussing our salary range for this role of $125-145k NZD.
In addition, you'll be eligible to participate in our employee stock ownership plan.
