Tovala • Chicago, IL

69d • Hybrid

About The Position

We’re looking for a Digital Experience Product Manager to help shape and deliver a high-quality digital experience across Tovala’s mobile app and web platforms. In this role, you’ll focus on understanding our customers’ needs, and translating those needs into intuitive, impactful digital experiences that make ordering, cooking, and connecting with Tovala effortless and joyful. You’ll work side by side with UX designers and engineers to build and refine the experiences that solve real customer problems and drive business impact. From exploring early concepts and prototypes to launching and improving live features, you’ll ensure every interaction makes it easier and more enjoyable for customers to eat well at home. The right person for this role loves collaborating across disciplines, learning through experimentation, and taking pride in delivering products that work beautifully for real people.

Requirements

• Product Management Experience: You bring 7+ years of experience in a mix of technical and product management roles and have ideally owned a digital product or app experience end-to-end—from discovery through delivery.
• Strong Technical Acumen: You started out as an engineer (or similarly technical role), and ideally spent time as a tech lead or engineering manager before realizing that your true calling was in product. You understand what it takes to build great products and you’re passionate about understanding customer problems and finding solutions that are both delightful and practical.
• Excellent Communicator: You have a proven ability to communicate complex technical concepts clearly to non-technical partners as well as a proven ability to translate complex ideas into clear product stories and priorities, ensuring the team stays aligned and focused.
• Cross Functional Collaborator: You thrive when working closely with a mix of designers, engineers, and stakeholders to define and deliver a solution.
• Customer First Contributor: You’re curious, humble, and driven by the impact your work has on real people’s experiences. You care deeply about solving the problems that are most relevant to them and learning fast about the right potential solution through prototyping, experimentation, and direct customer feedback.
• Startup Mindset: You’re comfortable working in a fast-paced environment where priorities evolve and change.
• Data Driven: You leverage data and insights to guide your decision making process.

Responsibilities

• Serve as the voice of the customer for our mobile app and web experiences for current customers, ensuring every interaction reflects our goal to make eating well at home easy.
• Work with UX designers, engineers, and cross functional partners and company leadership to define and deliver high-quality digital experiences across mobile and web that bring the magic of Tovala to life.
• Drive product discovery and partner with design and engineering to creatively build low cost prototypes that prove customer value and business impact.
• Collaborate with tech leads to turn customer insights and business goals into clear, actionable product plans that teams can confidently build.
• Measure whether projects are actually delivering the results we expect—by setting clear success criteria upfront and tracking the right metrics along the way.
• Partner closely with engineering to make smart technical trade-offs, prioritize work, and continuously improve our discovery and delivery process.
• Continuously refine and improve our digital user experience based on feedback, performance data, and emerging best practices in product design and development.

• Tovala uses market data, geography, and placement of internal employees to determine salary. Additionally, we offer all employees real ownership in the company in the form of a competitive equity package.
