Note: The job is a remote job and is open to candidates in USA. WISEcode is an AI-driven food intelligence company building products that help families, grocery retailers, and consumer packaged goods brands make more informed decisions. The Senior Product Manager will lead zero-to-one product development for grocery retail and CPG customers, from discovery and validation through MVP, pilots, launch, and first revenue, while coordinating Science, Data, Engineering, and commercial teams.
Responsibilities
- Own new product development for the grocery retail and CPG industry end to end, from first customer conversation through concept, validation, MVP, and launch, taking each product from zero to one
- Run continuous discovery with retailers, CPG brands, category managers, and merchandisers to identify the problems our food intelligence platform is uniquely positioned to solve, and validate willingness to pay before we build
- Define lean, testable MVPs: decide what is in and what is out, write the requirements, and get a first version in front of real customers fast so we learn from the market, not from meetings
- Translate WISEcode’s data assets (15,000 data points per product, scoring systems, and ingredient intelligence) into product experiences that grocery retailers and CPG brands will adopt and pay for
- Lead pilot engagements with early retail and CPG partners, aligning internal teams on scope and timing, keeping every partner commitment on track, and converting pilots into repeatable products
- Create clear, well-structured documentation, including concept briefs, specs, user stories, and decision logs, so every team can move with confidence and no one is operating blind
- Work day to day with our Science, Data, and Engineering teams: running the agile ceremonies, making the prioritization calls, and keeping a distributed team building the same product
- Define success metrics and acceptance criteria for every launch, including evals for AI/LLM-powered features, so product and model quality are measured rather than assumed
- Support demos, RFP responses, and commercial follow-ups with prospective grocery and CPG customers, bringing the voice of the market back into the roadmap
- Complete a discovery sprint with grocery retail and CPG prospects and synthesize it into a ranked, validated set of problems worth solving
- Define and pitch your first zero-to-one product concept, covering MVP scope, success metrics, and a path to first revenue, and get it greenlit
- Get a first pilot moving with a retail or CPG partner, with clear scope, timeline, and success criteria on both sides
Skills
- 6+ years in product management, with software products you have personally shipped as the PM of record
- Required: experience developing software products in the grocery retail or consumer packaged goods (CPG) industry. You understand how retailers, distributors, and brands operate, whether through category management, merchandising, private label, retail media, or brand analytics, and you can speak their language on day one
- A proven zero-to-one product thinker: you have taken at least one product from concept to first release and first revenue, and you are energized, not paralyzed, by a blank page, ambiguity, and imperfect information
- Strong customer discovery skills: you run structured interviews, separate what customers say from what they will pay for, and turn qualitative signal into a validated problem statement
- Enough technical fluency with data, APIs, and AI/LLM-based systems to scope realistically with engineering and pressure-test a build plan, without needing to write production code
- The stakeholder skill to align scientists, engineers, executives, and external partners, and to drive decisions without formal authority
- Exceptional written and facilitation skills: concept briefs, specs, and updates that make complex work legible to sales, marketing, and executives
- A background or genuine interest in food, nutrition, or health data is a plus; curiosity and scientific literacy are a must
