Company mission
To help brands across multiple industries verify the origin and authenticity of their products and raw materials.
Role
Who you are
- A systems thinker who enjoys structuring ambiguity into clear frameworks, programs, or products
- Comfortable working across domains — scientific, engineering, commercial — to unify efforts around a shared strategy
- Commercially aware and deeply curious about how services, standards, and data can come together to deliver client value
- Able to lead without authority and build trust across multiple teams and disciplines
- Comfortable with both high-level strategy and operational detail
- Analytical mindset; familiar with working alongside data scientists, business analysts or technical experts
- Experience in B2B, compliance, supply chain, ESG, or standards-based industries is a strong plus
- 5+ years in product management, service design, program development, or a related strategic function
- Proven success managing complex products, frameworks, or service models in a cross-functional environment
- Experience with data, analytics, or scientific environments
- Experience in membership, certification, subscription, or platform models is a bonus but not essential
What the job involves
- We’re looking for a Product Manager to help shape the future of Oritain’s membership offering and program design
- This is not a traditional digital product role, it’s a unique opportunity to work across science, data, and commercial teams to define the experience, standards, and operational backbone that underpin our evolving service model
- In this role, you will help architect the systems, insights, and frameworks that define what membership means at Oritain, from how we assess risk, deliver value, and benchmark performance, to how we scale and standardize our services across industries
- You’ll play a critical role in turning scientific expertise and analytical tools into scalable, programmatic products, helping to establish the next generation of trust, compliance, and traceability
- Own the roadmap for Oritain’s membership model, working across science, product, and commercial functions
- Partner with science and data science teams to shape and improve decision-support tools, models, and platforms
- Define and iterate on the experience and framework of membership: what it means, what value it provides, how it scales
- Identify digitisation opportunities and ensure operational tools and client-facing features align with the membership strategy
- Translate complex processes into clear, consistent, and measurable programs that can be operationalized across clients
- Work with stakeholders to define success metrics, adherence thresholds, and evolving standards of service
- Support strategic initiatives that aim to define and influence industry-wide expectations for compliance and transparency
- Guide prioritisation of emerging opportunities - from AI-driven insight delivery to generative workflows - within the broader marketplace vision
Salary benchmarks
Our take
With sustainability and brand reputation becoming increasingly intertwined, supply chain tracking company Oritain has pitched itself well to its client base, leveraging forensic science techniques and data analysis to verify the source of materials and products. Environmental impact is a key concern too, and Oritain’s zero trust policy on the authenticity of packaging information spans across the food, fibre, and pharmaceutical industries. The potent methods used were born out of criminal forensics, exemplifying the level of granular detail that Oritain holds itself to.
Ideally, companies like Oritain shouldn’t have to exist, and arguments could be raised about a company’s efficacy if it can’t track its resources itself, as well as the redundancy of health and safety bodies that Oritain offers a second layer to. Regardless, Oritain’s services provide peace of mind and can weed out rotten apples within a business’s supply chain, especially important for start-ups that are finding their feet.
Oritain is currently used by a wide range of companies, including Lacoste and Manuka Health, whilst it also offers its services to governments and industry bodies. The latter partnerships are especially important moving forward, as more companies ramp up their net-zero and sustainability efforts.
