Senior Product Manager - Maternity Leave Cover

📣 A bit about the role.

We’re growing fast. It’s exciting. We’re eager to feed more dogs and help them live healthier, happier lives. Delivering more value to our customers—both digitally and physically—is key to making that happen. That’s where you come in.

We’re looking for maternity cover for a Senior Product Manager to join one of our Growth Tools team. This team builds tools and experiences used by internal users and external customers to really maximise our marketing efforts. At Butternut Box, Senior Product Managers own and drive the vision, roadmap, and execution of their teams, as well as the broader pods they sit within. In this role, you’ll lead an autonomous, cross-functional Product team, working closely with Product Design, Engineering, and Insight teams. You’ll also collaborate with Marketing, Brand, Proposition, Operations, and Customer Love to ensure we continue delivering a best-in-class experience.

In this role, you will:

• Drive major change in our digital product proposition, increasing value for both our customers and the business.
• Influence our digital product strategy, owning the roadmap and vision for your pod.
• Set clear goals and success metrics for your product and key features, and be accountable for delivering them.
• Prioritise your team’s work, balancing impact, cost, and risk to drive the most valuable opportunities forward.
• Keep everyone aligned by ensuring clarity on progress, priorities, and future plans.
• Generate quantitative insights—defining metrics, running analyses, leading A/B tests, and collaborating with analysts to answer complex questions.
• Gather qualitative insights—speaking to users regularly to understand what’s working, what’s not, and shaping our approach.
• Lead your team’s process, optimising for clarity, efficiency, and sustainable impact.
• Define the scope of projects, ensuring a shared understanding of requirements and expected outcomes.
• Help evolve our product development processes, ensuring we have the right tools and approaches to maximise efficiency.
• Work cross-functionally with stakeholders across the business to solve problems, share insights, and collaborate on impactful initiatives.
  
  

👋 A bit about you.

• Loves dogs. Naturally.
• Passionate about start-ups and Product Management.
• A self-starter who thrives in ambiguity and doesn’t wait for direction to make things happen.
• 4+ years of Product Management experience, ideally in physical product or e-commerce.
• Proven ability to build deep customer empathy and experience working on customer retention initiatives.
• Strong analytical skills—comfortable talking cohorts, segments, funnels, and flywheels.
• Solid project management skills—able to ensure projects are delivered on time when needed.
• A keen eye for great design—not necessarily a designer, but able to articulate and guide strong design decisions.
• Excellent communicator—capable of rallying support for ideas and influencing at exec level.
• Ability to think strategically, seeing the bigger picture of customer engagement and company growth.
• Decisive and confident—able to make tough calls quickly and get them right most of the time.
