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!
We're looking for a Product Development Manager to join the Ü Snacks product team. In this role, you will own product development execution across many launches (line extensions, retail launches, limited time offers and new innovation) - from idea through cross-functional development to final packaging approval. You'll manage external vendors and suppliers, drive cross-functional alignment, and make sure launches land on time and at the quality bar we hold ourselves to. If you are ambitious, highly organized, comfortable operating in ambiguity, and thrive in a fast-moving environment where ownership is real and expectations are high, this is the role for you. This role is part of our remote HQ! We have a fully remote, high-trust work environment - and also come together on a bi-annual basis for amazing off-sites where we can connect IRL. In this role, you will: Own packaging execution end to end — concept, manuscript, artwork, proofs, and sample cycles across every initiative you own. You lead cross-functional feedback loops and approvals and partner closely with the design team. Drive launch execution at volume — manage the full lifecycle of limited-time offers, collabs, and retail launches including timelines, vendor coordination, R&D partnership, gummy mold development, sample testing, and cross-functional alignment. Multiple launches run simultaneously and move fast. Own your product lines — be the go-to expert on the brands and SKUs you own. Partner with cross-functional teams to grow and support those lines over time. Manage vendor and supplier relationships — own the day-to-day with external partners to keep timelines and quality standards intact. When things go sideways, you're the one who figures it out. Support post-launch optimization — work with GTM and R&D to identify opportunities for formula improvements, packaging refinements, and claims updates that improve retention and customer experience. Act as the connective tissue — across Operations, Brand, Performance, and external partners. You manage communication, flag blockers early, and drive toward decisions. We're looking for someone who: Has 5+ years of product development experience at a D2C or growth-stage CPG company Has owned packaging from concept to approval to launch, and can point to specific projects where they were the primary accountable person if something went wrong Has managed a high volume of simultaneous launches, not just a handful. Experience with beauty, personal care, food, or wellness CPG is welcome. If it lives on a Whole Foods shelf, the skills translate. Has a track record of managing external vendors and suppliers through full project cycles Brings strong cross-functional project management skills and is comfortable driving alignment across teams they don't control Is proficient in Asana or a comparable project management tool Approach to the role: Taking ownership - not just of tasks, but of outcomes. You don't wait to be told something is off. You catch it, you fix it, you close the loop. Operating in ambiguity without losing momentum. We don't have a process for everything and we never will. That's not a problem for you - it's where you do your best work. Moving fast without cutting corners. You know the difference between speed that builds and speed that breaks, and you manage accordingly. Building real relationships - with vendors, with cross-functional partners, with your team. People trust you to follow through because you always do. Bringing energy. You raise the level of the people around you. You're engaged, curious, and genuinely invested in what we're building. Compensation & Benefits: At Grüns, we're committed to providing a competitive total compensation package — grounded in market data that considers our size, stage, industry, and location. For this role, the base salary range is $100,000-$120,000 plus bonus depending on experience, paired with a comprehensive benefits package designed to support the well-being and growth of our team. 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. What we care about... Be the Best: We hold ourselves, our teams, and our partners to an incredibly high standard - and we raise the bar constantly. "We've never done this before" isn't an excuse here. It's an invitation. Own It: We act like our name is on the door. That means taking complete ownership of outcomes, collaborating deeply, working through roadblocks - not around them - and never waiting for someone else to solve the problem. Great owners are great partners. Drive Impact, Urgently: We measure impact, not effort. We work smart and hard, move fast, and use every tool at our disposal - including AI - to focus our energy where it matters most. Compensation & Perks: For every role, we aim to have highly competitive compensation and opportunity for impact and career growth. Everyone at Grüns works hard, but we believe in wellness and balance too. We have super strong benefits coverage -- for you and your family, generous PTO, free Grüns subscriptions, and a few more perks centered around health and well-being that we can't wait to tell you about!
