You will operate with urgency, commercial rigor, and a challenger mindset in this hyper‑competitive category. Experience scaling a brand in the creatine space or similar category is a must.

This is not a passive coordination role. We are looking for a builder who can manage complexity, create clarity, and push products from concept to shelf with speed and precision.

What You’ll Do

Strategy, Insight & Innovation

• Translate category strategy into a focused, long‑term product roadmap that prioritizes growth, margin, and consumer relevance.
• Define clear target consumer segments and use cases for innovation, grounding new product development in unmet needs, performance benefits, and commercial opportunity.
• Help lead product ideation and concept generation, translating consumer insight, brand strategy, and business objectives into viable innovation pipelines.
• Actively monitor market trends, competitive launches, and consumer behavior to identify whitespace opportunities, portfolio gaps, and emerging marketing shifts.

Product Storytelling & Go‑to‑Market

• Build sharp, consumer‑facing product stories that clearly articulate functional benefits and product benefits to cut through crowded creatine shelves.
• Partner with the GM to design and execute go‑to‑market strategies for new product launches, ensuring speed, alignment, and commercial readiness.
• Evaluate and size business opportunities to prioritize innovation and renovation launches based on revenue potential, margin accretion, and strategic fit.
• Set channel priorities by consumer segment, ensuring the right flavors, pack configurations, ingredient mix, pricing, and messaging are deployed across channels to maximize velocity and profitability.
• Continuously track and report on portfolio performance using market and internal data, flagging issues early and translating insight into corrective action.
• Help build promotional calendars and develop channel‑specific plans that balance brand impact, velocity, and margin.
• Work cross‑functionally with Innovation, Finance, Ops, Commercial and Supply Chain to improve CM1, and drive contribution margin growth.
• Actively manage portfolio complexity by identifying underperforming or redundant SKUs and leading rationalization efforts to improve focus, efficiency, and profitability.
• Improve category and product line margins by shaping assortments toward margin‑accretive SKUs and disciplined pricing, trade, and mix decisions.
