About the role

  • Through our innovative app-based marketplace, we connect shoppers with discounted perishable items while helping retailers turn would-be waste into revenue and meaningful environmental impact.
  • We're growing quickly across North America and partnering with retailers of all sizes to expand our reach.
  • If you're passionate about creating real change for people and the planet, we'd love for you to join us.

Responsibilities

  • Own the Product Retail Strategy
  • Define and drive the roadmap for Flashfood's retail platform: partner app, onboarding and activation, catalog integration, dashboards and reporting, and dynamic pricing.
  • Vet the biggest opportunities with data, size them, and sequence them - your first two quarters set the build plan and the hires that follow.
  • Lead a Cross-Functional Team
  • Directly manage the Retail pod - engineers, product managers, and designers - with an engineering lead as your player-coach on architecture.
  • Own the pod's business goals: stores activated, items posted, partner adoption, and the revenue tied to them.
  • Win with Our Partners
  • Work directly with enterprise grocery partners - store associates to corporate buyers - to understand operations and translate them into product.
  • Support the sales motion with product depth: discovery sessions, executive demos, and the data story that wins national rollouts.
  • Own the product side of activation: shrink the path from signed contract to launched store from months to weeks.

Requirements

  • You're a builder and an owner: comfortable in the room with retail executives and engineers alike, and you know the best products come from understanding the operator's day, not a feature list.
  • Strong data fluency - integration patterns common in retail, and a track record of making product decisions based on evidence, not intuition.
  • Proven ability to take ambiguous, high-stakes product areas from hypothesis to shipped product with measurable business impact.
  • Comfort operating in a lean, fast-moving organization where leaders are hands-on.

Nice to have

  • Experience with markdown optimization, pricing systems, inventory management, or shrink-adjacent retail technology.
  • Familiarity with AI-assisted and agentic product development: products that incorporate LLM agents, automation of operational workflows, or ML-driven pricing and personalization.
  • 10+ years of product management experience, with 5+ years managing cross-functional teams against shared business goals - ideally in B2B or enterprise software.

Compensation

  • Competitive salary, equity, and comprehensive benefits
