About The Position
CookUnity is seeking a Senior Product Manager, Discovery Experience to lead the consumer-facing surfaces that connect users with meals. This role is critical as it encompasses the most trafficked areas of the product, from app opening to order completion, including the home screen, search, menu, collections, product detail pages, and cart. The Product Manager will be responsible for the product vision, roadmap, and execution for these areas, collaborating closely with Design, Engineering, Data Science, and Merchandising to create an effortless, personal, and exciting discovery experience. The company's mission is to empower chefs to nourish the world, and this role is key to connecting users with the chefs' creations.
Requirements
- 8+ years of product management experience, including meaningful ownership of consumer-facing mobile and/or web surfaces at scale.
- Demonstrated experience with discovery, browsing, search, or shopping experiences, ideally in a marketplace or catalog-heavy product.
- Strong UX instincts and a proven track record of close collaboration with design teams.
- Comfortable with frontend product systems (component libraries, server-driven UI, feature flags) and able to partner effectively with frontend engineers.
- Experience running A/B experiments, defining metrics, and making data-informed decisions in ambiguous situations.
- Excellent cross-functional communication; able to influence design, engineering, and business stakeholders across a complex organization.
- Proven ability to manage a large roadmap across multiple surfaces simultaneously.
- A senior, frontend-first product thinker with deep instincts for consumer UX and a track record of owning high-traffic discovery or browsing surfaces.
- Comfortable holding a wide, complex surface area — able to zoom out to set coherent strategy across many screens while staying close enough to the details to make good product decisions.
- A strong design partner who can elevate the quality of an experience, not just spec it.
- Technically grounded enough to work fluently with frontend engineers, understand component architecture, and reason about how system-level decisions affect the user experience.
- Genuinely excited by the challenge of making a large, dynamic food catalog feel simple and delightful to browse.
- Collaborative and low-ego at the seam between your work and adjacent PM domains; know how to maintain shared ownership without losing accountability.
- Rigorous about experimentation and metrics without being paralyzed by them.
Responsibilities
- Own the Discovery Surface End-to-End, including setting and driving the product vision and roadmap across Home Screen, Search, Menu, Swimlanes, Collections, Product Tile & Detail, Cart & Checkout, and Core UI Components.
- Define a coherent discovery experience across web and mobile that scales with catalog complexity and evolving user needs.
- Manage a large, diverse surface area with competing priorities without losing coherence or momentum.
- Ship High-Impact Consumer Features by partnering with Engineering and Design to build, iterate, and launch features that improve how eaters find and choose meals.
- Own the product layer of CookUnity's server-driven UI (SDUI) system, considering how component architecture enables flexibility for merchandisers while maintaining a great eater experience.
- Drive experimentation across discovery surfaces with rigorous metric frameworks.
- Elevate the UX by partnering tightly with Design to create discovery experiences that reduce friction, build confidence, and feel intuitive across every entry point.
- Own the quality and consistency of core UI components (loading states, error screens, coachmarks, modals) as a shared foundation across the product.
- Maintain a high bar for mobile and web parity, while allowing for platform-native patterns where they matter.
- Navigate the Frontend/Intelligence Seam by working as a close counterpart to the Sr. PM, Personalization & AI, jointly owning decisions at the intersection of surface design and intelligence.
- Translate personalization and AI system capabilities into frontend experiences that make intelligence visible and useful to eaters.
- Bring a clear point of view to surface-level decisions even when upstream inputs are probabilistic, evolving, or contested.
- Drive Measurable Business Impact by improving conversion across browse surfaces (home, search, swimlanes, collections, full menu), reducing checkout abandonment and cart-to-order friction, and lifting overall funnel CVR and contribution to weekly order frequency and reduction of subscriber churn.
