- Strong analytical mindset: comfort with metrics, experimentation, and turning abstract concepts into working flows

- Brings energy and focus to teams, ensuring alignment and accountability
- Values precision, reasoning, and continuous learning
What the job involves

- Product strategy & roadmap: Define a crisp product vision, translate it into measurable goals and an execution roadmap aligned to company objectives
- Preparation & assessment: Lead a rigorous discovery and assessment phase for each initiative (problem framing, scope, feasibility, risks, success metrics, technical implications)
- Tight engineering collaboration: Co-create solutions with Engineering; leverage platform capabilities, propose and develop platform features together
- Delivery excellence: Ensure high-quality implementation flows, from concept to rollout; maintain healthy backlogs; remove blockers; take ownership for excellent product quality and UX standards
- Analytics & outcomes: Define and track KPIs (activation, conversion, retention, revenue/ROI); run experiments; drive continuous improvement based on data
- Cross-functional communication: Keep business, customers, and tech aligned; present plans and progress with the right fidelity to each audience
- Team & culture: Build, mentor, and elevate a product team that cares deeply about progress, entrepreneurial thinking, and ownership
Our take
FoodLabs is a Venture Capitalist investor and venture studio that focus on intellectual property and scalable business models toward a more sustainable food industry.
The company has adopted its mission after its founder felt the food industry was treated as one of the most relevant industries for human health but as one of the most irrelevant industries to the climate. The food industry’s contribution to greenhouse emissions is huge, hence this mission is as urgent as ever.
FoodLabs also closed its new early-stage fund called Food Fund, which will help European innovators create positive change. It also releases important reports such as "Food For Climate" in 2023, which explores the impact of FoodTech startups on the environment. There are countless other opportunities for FoodLabs to help improve food sustainability and the company will do so with its purpose-for-growth approach.
