About Us
TakeUp, LLC is revolutionizing revenue optimization for hospitality with a daring approach to pricing. Using AI and machine learning, TakeUp empowers independent operators to unlock maximum revenue potential through pricing courageously—day in, day out. Seamlessly integrated with top Property Management Systems, our platform replaces traditional rate-setting constraints with data-driven confidence, delivering an impressive 10-15x ROI.
The Opportunity
We’re extending our impact beyond pricing to help independent operators capture more revenue across the guest journey. As the first Product Manager focused on this expansion, you’ll turn rough customer pains into real-world experiments, ship fast-and-scrappy solutions, and guide successful bets toward full-fledged products. You’ll join a profitable company at the moment new ideas move from sketchpad to market test.
What You'll Do
- Lead discovery through conversations with innkeepers - extract insights, frame problems, and validate hypotheses quickly.
- Be the voice of the customer and the market opportunity - marrying insight with intuition to prioritize what matters most.
- Own a 0→1 initiative with executive visibility, directly shaping one of the most strategic bets for the company.
- Design lean experiments including landing pages, concierge pilots, no-code hacks, and launch them to gauge demand before heavy build cycles.
- Translate early traction into a clear product vision and phased roadmap, collaborating closely with design, engineering, and go-to-market.
- Define success metrics, set up lightweight tracking, and iterate based on real usage and revenue impact.
- Balance scrappiness and quality: know when to push an MVP live and when to invest in polish and scalability.
- Evangelize learnings and customer perspectives across the company, shaping strategy as we grow the platform.
Who You Are
- 7+ years of product management in B2B SaaS, including leading at least one zero-to-one or v1 launch.
- Proven track record running rapid experiments to test demand and inform build/no-build decisions.
- Experience with revenue-generation or marketing-adjacent products (hospitality or small-business tech a plus).
- Skilled at user research, hypothesis-driven development, and data-informed prioritization, without needing a big-company analytics stack.
- Clear, concise communicator who can rally cross-functional teams and external stakeholders around a scrappy plan.
- Start-up mindset: bias for action, comfort with ambiguity, and willingness to wear multiple hats.
- Nice-to-have: exposure to AI/ML-enabled products or hospitality integrations.

What We Do
Big challenges. Passionate people. Smart solutions. This is what you’ll find at 1848 Ventures. We help business owners manage uncertainty and discover opportunity in risk. We’re not aiming for incremental improvement – we’re breaking new ground. And when we see opportunity for innovation, we have the freedom, resources, and culture to make it happen.
We’re champions of business owners everywhere. After all, it’s this startup ethos and entrepreneurial spirit that 1848 Ventures – and our parent company, Westfield – was founded on. Westfield, a leading provider of commercial insurance, established 1848 Ventures in 2018 to expand beyond conventional property and casualty insurance products and address the broader risks small business owners face every day. We meet our customers where they are, partnering together to deliver digital solutions that improve their bottom line.
We know that in order to succeed, we need the right people to make it happen. We start by building a team with a diverse set of voices, backgrounds, and experiences. We’re looking for the innovators. The pioneers. The change agents. The people who aren’t afraid to ask, “What if…?” and try it anyway. This is the place for self-starters, go-getters, and anyone who wants to see a good idea become a great reality.
At 1848 Ventures, we help people build careers. Based in Northeast Ohio near Cleveland, our team members grow their creative and commercial skill sets, applying their talents to a wide range of portfolio concepts. And who we are drives what we do – our values empower a thriving culture that allows for true innovation, learning, and growth.
