Sr. Product Manager (Technical) | Forecasting & Planning
About The Position
Wonder is looking for a high-impact Senior Product Manager (Technical) to own and evolve our store planning and simulation systems. This role sits at the intersection of forecasting, simulation, and replenishment execution. You will own a core simulation tool that translates our demand forecast into DC-to-store replenishment decisions – modeling expiry, pack-size constraints, and operational realities. The output of this system feeds our inbound DC ordering. This is a hybrid role designed for either: A highly technical Product Manager comfortable building analytical POCs, or A business-facing developer / applied scientist who wants product ownership. In this role, you will define how success is measured, establish baseline performance, and guide engineering implementation. You will own key operational metrics (in-stock & waste) that materially impact Wonder’s unit economics, as we evolve our planning systems to support rapid growth and IPO-scale operations. This role reports to the Director, Forecasting & Planning (Product).
Requirements
- 5-8+ years in Product Management, Applied Analytics, or Supply Chain development, with meaningful exposure to planning & replenishment systems
- Experience operating in a business-facing role with accountability for operational results
- Strong analytical instincts – ability to work with data and models (not just requirements) within a complex, technical domain
- Strong understanding of forecasting & ordering logic, ideally in food/perishables or other constrained supply chains
- Fluency with analytical tools (we use BigQuery, GCP + Looker) to evaluate performance at scale (note: strong SQL is a key requirement)
- Comfort building POC models (SQL or Python-based) to evaluate performance, explore system behavior and validate ideas
- You have an ownership mindset and are comfortable being accountable for outcomes, not just delivery
- You enjoy operating at the intersection of technology and business – either as a tech-forward PM or a business-forward builder – and can translate fluently between technical constraints and operational reality
- You care about building products that deliver measurable business value – not just theoretical improvement
- You bring structure to complex, ambiguous problems and turn them into testable hypotheses and clear decisions
- You have a strong bias toward action, rapid learning, and continuous improvement
Responsibilities
- Own & report on key operational metrics, e.g. planning-driven in-stock & waste – at business-relevant granularities
- Build & maintain a naïve/baseline DC-level forecast or heuristic to quantify simulation performance (“how much value are we adding”?)
- Deep-dive/RCA system performance across stores and SKU groups (e.g. cold-start products) to inform development areas
- Set the roadmap for your planning domain, and translate POC learnings into clear product & tech requirements
- Lean on your technical capability to test new logic, heuristics, or modeling approaches before tech implementation
- Once POC performance has been proved – partner with tech colleagues to guide scalable, production-ready solutions
- Explain system behavior, trade-offs, and results to technical and non-technical stakeholders (including ops leadership)
- Partner closely with Supply Chain Ops & Analytics to help teams understand planning logic, and ensure business decisions are informed by data-backed reality
Benefits
- Competitive salary package including equity
- 401K
- Multiple medical, dental, and vision plans
- Many benefits and perks that are not listed
