This is a strategic partner role to the Founder, focusing on consumer product strategy, defining the roadmap, driving alignment, and accountability for outcomes across the customer funnel.

  • Represent the product function in senior leadership discussions, crafting compelling, data-backed narratives.
  • Act as a connector between the Founder's Office and the wider engineering and design organization.
  • Own the entire consumer mobile experience, from first app open and onboarding through to checkout, delivery tracking, and post-order engagement.
  • Define and manage the consumer mobile product roadmap, making prioritization calls and maintaining alignment with Engineering and Design.
  • Drive development of key iOS capabilities including push notifications, Apple Pay, personalized recommendations, real-time location tracking, and loyalty mechanics.
  • Establish and own KPIs across the consumer funnel - activation, engagement, retention, and revenue.
  • Stay ahead of iOS platform updates, consumer behavior trends, and best-in-class mobile UX.
  • Lead and align stakeholders across Engineering, Design, Marketing, Commercial, and Operations.
  • Own a portfolio of high-impact initiatives end-to-end.
  • Identify and resolve structural blockers and systemic inefficiencies.
  • Champion a culture of rigorous experimentation and data-led decision-making.

Requirements

  • 7+ years of experience spanning product management, strategy, or a combination, with evidence of working at or near executive level in a high-growth environment.
  • Proven track record of building and scaling consumer mobile apps with high user engagement and retention.
  • Deep understanding of the consumer product lifecycle (acquisition, activation, retention, re-engagement).
  • Strong quantitative skills and a systems-thinking mindset.
  • Executive presence and communication skills to influence senior stakeholders.
  • Experience working directly with founders or C-suite leaders.
  • Ability to work closely with mobile engineers and designers.
  • Experience with mobile analytics platforms (e.g. Mixpanel, Amplitude).
  • Strong grasp of the iOS ecosystem (Apple Human Interface Guidelines, Apple Pay, push notifications, real-time tracking, location-based services).
