Shelf Engine is searching for a talented Head of Product to join our growing team. In this role, you will work with multiple teams across functions to lead the design of the Shelf Engine product offering, understand and research customer demand and food waste sources, and marry that understanding with the development of technical capabilities and product design of the Shelf Engine system.

• Lead and develop a team of product managers and designers who work on all aspects of the Shelf Engine system

• 8-10+ years of software product management experience, including 3+ years direct people management experience
• An appetite for ambiguity and complexity, and a strong desire to address the meaty problem (pun intended) of food waste
• Experience in building enterprise software, with an understanding of how complex software systems are built, how customer requirements can be gathered for these systems, and how custom sales cycles occur
• Experience working closely with software engineering teams to build software products
• Bachelor’s degree or equivalent professional experience
