Product Development Manager - Gummy Supplements

We're so happy you're here! Thank you for checking our job out and we hope to have the chance to meet you in our interview process!

About The Role

We're looking for our first Product Development Manager at Grüns! In this role, you will lead our product initiatives, driving innovation, process creation, cross-functional project management, and collaborations with external vendors. If you are a highly-organized individual with a strong ownership and autonomy and enjoy working with internal and external stakeholders in a fast-paced environment, this is the role for you. Note that this is a US-based remote role reporting into our Head of Product.

In this role, you will:

• Lead the development and execution of packaging and product material through the entire process from concept to production, working with designers and external vendors.
• Act as a project manager to coordinate with various teams (Operations, Brand, Performance etc.) and external vendors to align on initiatives, manage communication flows, and ensure timely execution.
• Develop and implement clear, repeatable processes to support product function growth. Create document control for accurate and efficient information flow across teams.
• Manage relationships with external vendors and suppliers to ensure timely execution and high quality deliverables.
• Work closely with other functions to fulfill ad hoc requests and deliver on special projects in a timely manner.
  
  

We're looking for someone who:

• 3-5 years in product management, with a focus on creative projects, packaging, or product development.
• Strong experience managing multiple projects across teams, ensuring timelines are met and deliverables are completed.
• Demonstrated ability to manage external vendors and suppliers to ensure timely and accurate deliverables.
• Experience creating and documenting processes to ensure clarity and efficiency in product development.
• A strong sense of ownership and accountability for your work and projects.
• Exceptional organizational skills with the ability to manage multiple projects simultaneously and maintain attention to detail.
• Strong relationship-building skills and the ability to work effectively across teams.
• Ability to think strategically and creatively to solve problems and optimize processes.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills, able to clearly convey information to diverse stakeholders. Comfortable negotiating with vendors and partners to ensure the best possible outcome.
  
  

Bonus points for:

• Previous experience in a direct-to-consumer (D2C) startup or consumer packaged goods (CPG) company.
• Proficiency in Asana, Notion, or other project management tools.
• Experience working closely with design teams on packaging and creative initiatives.
  
  

A bit about us...

At Grüns, we believe that foundational nutrition should be simple and convenient for everyone. We're dedicated to bringing comprehensive and real nutrition to you through our gummies, formulated from 60 nutrient-dense and whole-food ingredients. Simply enjoy a grab-and-go snack pack of gummies daily whenever fits best in your schedule and wherever life takes you.

Like you, we were disappointed. There's an infinite number of "nutrition" companies, all focused on what's best for them — not what's best for you. Hundreds of products to sell you on, low-quality ingredients, and small nutrient doses. We've seen it all.

So we decided it was time to fix it. No more choking on and popping pills like a pharmacy. No more clean-up and disgust from gross powders. And no more cobbling together handfuls to dozens of supplements. Grüns is comprehensive nutrition, made convenient and delicious.

Our culture:

• Autonomy: Only the best work at Grüns. We're all confident, independent leaders. We are proactive. We find opportunities for improvement. Don't ask; just do. When our actions impact other areas of the organization, we communicate with those functional leaders to ensure connectivity.
• Growth: We love to take on new challenges, learn new things, and express interest in new functions. "I've never done this before" is not an excuse; it's an opportunity.
• Community: We care deeply about each other. We're good humans and provide support wherever we can. We care, not just professionally but personally as well.
  
  

Compensation & Perks!

For every role, we aim to have highly competitive compensation -- and equity, as our growth should lead to your growth.

We have a fully remote, high-trust work environment - but also come together on a quarterly basis for amazing off-sites where we can connect IRL.

Everyone at Grüns works hard, but we believe in wellness and balance too. We have super strong benefits coverage -- for you and your family. We have unlimited PTO. And everyone who joins gets a free Grüns subscription, a $150/month wellness bonus, and an Oura ring and membership to track their health.
