Senior product manager

Freshflow is building the food supply chain technology of the future to reduce global food waste.


~31% of global GHG emissions originate from food-related activities. Fresh produce is grown with significant energy and water inputs, some fruits are even flown/shipped across the globe, just to be thrown away in the supermarkets, because customer demand is miscalculated.

Predicting the sales of fruits and vegetables correctly to prevent food waste is complex, due to short shelf lives, unique product characteristics, and a great variety in products.

We raised >€8m in funding, expanded in France and Germany across several of the largest retailers, and developed and fine-tuned an AI driven, user-first solution that is tailored specifically addressing this problem. Customer feedback is inspiring, and we put together a team of driven, bright individuals to go above and beyond. Will you be the next to join us? 🚀


We're looking for a Senior Product Manager to take charge of all things product at Freshflow and execute on our vision of building an AI-powered supply chain for ultra-fresh products.


Responsibilities

* Create high quality product and feature specifications, manage their implementation, timeline and delivery together with our team of developers
* Have a deep understanding of retailer's current processes, software systems, user's needs on the shop floor and the competitive landscape — drive new features and design choices through that lens
* Build the processes and structure to collaborate effectively across all teams: gathering product insights from Customer Success, managing implementation through Tech, etc.
* Frequently travel to our stores, understand user's pain points and desires, as well as large enterprise C-levels, and convert that into concrete features


In short, you get to completely take ownership over Freshflow's product and work closely with the founder & CEO.

Why it’s more than ‘just a job’


* Personal development - Given our growing customer base, there is abundant room to develop skills and grow within the role. When you want to further responsibility and are eager to learn, there are no limits
* Make a change - due to the fast company growth, the entire organisation needs to be constantly questioned: is this still the best way to do it or is there something better? We encourage and enable you to challenge yourself and everyone around every day
* Have an impact - every customer that we sign, each product feature that we build, and every productive customer interaction brings us closer to our mission to reduce food waste and mitigate climate change
