Job description

Hungryroot is using AI to build the most consumer‑centric food and wellness company to ever exist. We act as your personal assistant for healthy living—getting to know your goals, lifestyle, and budget, and recommending and delivering healthy groceries, easy recipes, and essential supplements for you and your family.

It’s the easiest way to eat healthy, achieve your goals, save time, and discover new foods. We believe food is the foundation of health, convenience should not mean compromise, and that everyone is unique in how they eat and live. That’s why we’re building a future in which healthy living is both easy and enjoyable.

Hungryroot is a distributed team of top talent across 28+ U.S. states. While we have a headquarters in New York City, our remote‑first culture emphasizes collaboration, team‑building, and flexibility. Expect regular virtual team events, strong ownership and accountability, and an annual company retreat.

About the role

We are looking for a Senior Product Manager to join our growing Product team. You will be responsible for owning the systems that power how recipes are created, structured, and scaled across the Hungryroot platform. This includes recipe creation workflows, recipe coverage & performance analysis, taxonomy and tagging frameworks, dynamic recipe generation, and the internal tools that enable our culinary team to efficiently produce high‑quality recipes.

This role will join Hungryroot’s Product team and you will report directly to our Senior Director of Product Management. In this role, you will partner closely with Culinary, Engineering, Data Science, and Product Analytics to leverage Gen AI tools to translate culinary expertise and customer insights into scalable product systems. You will drive improvements that expand recipe coverage, improve content performance, and enable more personalized and dynamic recipe experiences for our customers.

We are looking for a highly analytical, systems‑oriented product manager who enjoys structuring complex content ecosystems and building platforms that scale creative work. If you are excited about shaping how recipes power the Hungryroot experience, helping people discover meals they love and driving contributions via Gen AI tools, we encourage you to apply.

Responsibilities

• Own the product strategy and roadmap for recipe systems that power assortment coverage, recipe creation, taxonomy, tagging, and dynamic recipe generation.
• Oversee the development and evolution of internal tooling that enables the culinary team to efficiently create, manage, and scale high‑quality recipes.
• Leverage key performance indicators to assess the success of the recipe performance.
• Partner closely with Culinary, Engineering, Data Science, and Product Analytics to translate culinary expertise and customer insights into scalable product systems. Define requirements, drive prioritization, and deliver platform improvements that expand assortment coverage, improve recipe performance, and streamline the recipe creation lifecycle.
• Lead the development of coverage analysis frameworks that identify assortment gaps, guide recipe creation priorities, and ensure balanced coverage across customer segments, dietary needs, and operational constraints.
• Establish and evolve the recipe taxonomy, tagging standards, and data structures that power discovery, personalization, and operational execution across the platform.
• Identify structural inefficiencies in recipe workflows, tooling, and data pipelines, and lead cross‑functional efforts to address root causes that limit scalability, quality, or speed of recipe development.
• Facilitate alignment and decision‑making when tradeoffs arise between culinary creativity, operational feasibility, and system scalability.
• Publish structured updates and maintain clear documentation to ensure transparency around roadmap priorities, recipe system changes, and taxonomy standards.
• Continuously integrate AI‑driven capabilities into recipe development, tagging, and dynamic recipe generation to accelerate content creation, improve coverage analysis, and enhance personalization at scale.

Qualifications

• 4+ years of Product Management experience, preferably in content platforms, data systems, marketplace products, or operations‑driven environments.
• 3+ years of hands‑On SQL experience
• Strong systems thinking with the ability to structure complex content, taxonomy, and metadata frameworks that scale across multiple use cases.
• Experience partnering closely with Engineering, Data Science, Culinary and Analytics teams to build internal platforms, tooling, or data‑driven product capabilities.
• Demonstrated ability to use data and analysis to guide prioritization, identify gaps in coverage or performance, and translate insights into product improvements.
• Strong product judgment with the ability to balance quality, scalability, and operational constraints when building systems that support content creation or editorial workflows.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills with a structured, clear approach to problem‑solving and cross‑functional alignment.
• Comfort operating in ambiguous environments and driving clarity across stakeholders including culinary, analytics, engineering, and product teams.
• Experience with taxonomy design, content management systems, personalization systems, or AI‑assisted content generation is a plus.
• Remote‑first: work from home, work from our NYC office, work from anywhere in the U.S. - you decide!

• Unlimited vacation policy
• Universal paid parental leave
• Comprehensive health, vision, dental, and life insurance
• 401k with Company Match
