Job Description:
Job DescriptionSalary: DOEAre you excited to work on one of the
most important global issues of our time? Are you passionate about
making a measurable difference in the battle against food waste?
Does working on a small team with the ability to influence product
strategy and drive innovation sound exciting? Leanpath, the global
leader in food waste prevention solutions, has an immediate
opportunity for a Product Manager to join the team.Did you know
that 8% of greenhouse gasses are linked to wasted food? When you
prevent food waste you can significantly reduce GHGs, and fight
climate change!So how do you, as a Product Manager, help to end
food waste? You bring your skills to bear at Leanpath, a company
who's already fighting food waste with thousands of installations
of our hardware-backed SaaS solutions worldwide. Leanpath has a
unique, patented set of hardware that we have deployed globally in
the fight against food waste. Our "Trackers" are custom designed
devices that transmit data from the kitchen to the Cloud, where
it's converted into a number of insights and reports which help our
customers make better decisions in the way that they prepare and
serve food. We also offer a powerful suite of behavior change tools
to ensure that food waste prevention becomes a daily habit,
changing the culture of the kitchen to drive a more waste-aware,
efficient operation.Ok, tell me more…I'll skip all of the usual
"the team is amazing" stuff and go straight to why you might want
to join us (beyond the whole "food waste superhero save the world"
thing):
- You'll be a member of our Product Strategy Council with direct
influence over the company's strategic product direction alongside
executives and our CEO. There's no hierarchy here and your voice
will be incredibly important in every decision.
- Our product suite is diverse and cutting edge. You'll get to
influence all of it, from IoT tracking devices to custom analytics
software to behavior change tools.
- You want to grow our small but high-performing Product team
from one person to two! You'll make a major impact on our products
and the product management function at Leanpath.
- Product works closely with a team of amazing developers, many
of whom are local. We pride ourselves on our aligned vision and
collaborative approach to building awesome products together. What
do we need from you?It's really important to us that we get the
"right person in the right (semi-virtual) seat" for our small yet
nimble team. This is a role that requires some previous product
management experience so you can hit the ground running and make
your mark quickly. We're not worried about a specific number of
years of experience or your degree, so even if you don't check all
the boxes, we'd still love to hear from you! We're focused on
impact and results above all.The skills to pay the bills:
- Experience in SaaS product management focused on growth and
revenue retention.
- A love for building buy-in for the product vision with internal
and external stakeholders, and working across the organization with
marketing, customer success, sales, and engineering.
- Proven ability to to translate product strategies and ambiguous
ideas into detailed requirements and prototypes.
- Experience taking software products to market with
cross-functional teams, from inception to launch (and
beyond!).
- A basic knowledge of software development/concepts. We need you
to be able to communicate with engineers—that means speaking their
language.
- You have great communication skills, and aren't afraid to use
"radical candor" (practicing kindness, no jerks allowed) with your
peers and especially your leaders.You might be a unicorn if you
also:
- Experience working with an integrated hardware solution.
- Experience leading a product release process for a physical
product.
- Experience in deploying and maintaining hardware/software
products globally, including managing localization, compliance and
certification requirements.
- Experience with Aha and Atlassian tools (e.g., Jira and
Confluence).Sounds great so far—is this fully remote or an office
job?While we're currently mostly remote, at some point we would
like to see each other in person…like in the before-times. We plan
to work in a flex/hybrid mode on-site at Leanpath's headquarters in
Beaverton, Oregon. Ok, what's next?So if this sounds like fun,
let's chat! You'll get a chance to meet with the team, ask
questions (and probably answer a couple…) to see if it's a good fit
for you and the team. Just hit that "apply" button to get started.I
have to ask...salary?Negotiable based on relevant experience.Any
limitations?Ah, you've gotten to the bottom of our attempt at a
mildly entertaining job posting. Thank you! This is the part that
will be a let down for a few of you, and for that, my apologies.#1
- The job is offered to those already in or willing to relocate to
the Portland, Oregon area.#2 - Leanpath is unable to provide
sponsorship for candidates who do not already have the right to
work in the United States or the UK. Bummer, I know. We're just not
big enough to be able to offer this yet…More about Leanpath & Our
