Summary Generated by Built In

We are looking for a Product Manager – Less-Processed Food who will take ownership of developing new products in food and functional nutrition, with a strong focus on cleaner, less-processed ingredients. This is not a role where you simply manage an existing assortment. You will be involved from the very first idea, through recipe development, ingredient sourcing, supplier selection and product economics, all the way to launch and post-launch performance.

What will be your mission?
  • Developing new products in the food and functional nutrition category with a focus on minimally processed foods—from identifying opportunities, developing recipes, and sourcing ingredients to bringing the product to market

  • Preparing product specifications for product development and manufacturing, actively monitoring the market, and conducting market research

  • Searching for and selecting suitable manufacturers and suppliers

  • Actively tracking trends in functional nutrition and identifying new product opportunities

  • Negotiating prices and terms of cooperation with suppliers

  • Collaborating with the B2B department to identify opportunities and develop products for the B2B segment

  • Collaborating with the QA, Regulatory, and Supply Chain departments in the development of new products

  • Collaborating with marketing on product positioning, USP, communicating benefits, and creating marketing materials

  • Monitoring product performance post-launch (revenue, margins, turnover, ratings) and implementing adjustments

  • Participating in exhibitions, trade shows, and meetings with suppliers to identify and develop new products 

Who do we look for?
  • Experience in product management, category management, product development in that category. 

  • You should understand how a food product is built from idea to market, not just how to manage it once it already exists.

  • You have a strong sense for food quality, clean ingredients and functional nutrition trends. 

  • You can think about taste, composition, pricing, margin, sourcing, supply chain and customer needs at the same time.

  • This role will suit you if you enjoy ownership, are comfortable negotiating with suppliers, like working with data and understand that a great product is not just a nice idea - it has to be high-quality, scalable, commercially healthy and relevant for the customer.

Why Join Vilgain?
  • Join our dynamic, fast‑paced team where ideas come to life and boredom doesn’t stand a chance - just like our 100%+ yearly growth.

  • 5 weeks of vacation, flexible hours, and remote work options, get monthly shopping credits.

  • Stay connected through team events, breakfasts, and group workouts.
