You will leverage expertise in process optimization and data-driven project management to turn operational efficiencies into a superior product experience that fuels long-term customer retention and growth. Reporting to the Senior Manager of Data Analytics, you will act as the strategic glue between Product Strategy & Innovation, Supply & Demand Planning, and Ingredient Sourcing Teams. In this role, you navigate the tension between business ambitions and real-world constraints, ensuring every menu release is both commercially viable and a delight for our customers. Lettuce share what this role will be responsible for Air Traffic Control: Own the end-to-end menu lifecycle, facilitating weekly reviews & leadership sign-offs, and ensuring the menu is released on time while meeting all stakeholder needs. Operational Governance: Review algorithmic outputs against real-world supply chain constraints and make trade-offs between cost-to-serve and value for the customer. Systemic Optimization: Improve tooling, systems, and workflows to reduce friction and eliminate unnecessary overhead in day-to-day menu planning work. Data Reporting & Analysis: Drive weekly menu performance reporting and business review meeting preparation, including narrative, insights, and executive-ready materials.

Here's what we're looking for Experience: 3-6 years in Product Operations, Commercial Planning, or Strategic Operations role with demonstrated ability to influence senior leadership (Tech/CPG environment preferred). Systems Thinking: You see the menu not as a list of recipes but as a multi-dimensional engine, balancing hard operational inputs (i.e. COGS, Labour, Supply) against the needs of the customer (Value, Variety, Quality) to deliver a product that feels personalized at scale. Team Player: Demonstrated ability to collaborate cross-functionally, manage multiple priorities, and drive alignment across teams. Sturdy Leadership: Comfortable adapting to changing circumstances and operating in fast-moving, ambiguous environments while building structure and driving clarity. Solutions Mindset: Structured thinker who can translate undefined problems into clear problem statements and execution plans. Project Management: Proven background in managing complex timelines and directing communications across multiple business teams. Data-Literacy: Advanced proficiency in Google Sheets/Excel modelling (required) and a demonstrated ability to structure findings for cross-functional stakeholders. (SQL is nice to have).
