You won’t just launch products — you’ll redefine how people experience health, joy, and indulgence. As our Senior Product & Commercialization Manager, you’ll transform functional chocolate from a niche curiosity into a movement that reshapes grocery aisles and lives.
This is your chance to feel the rush of seeing your vision claim shelf space, spark loyalty, and turn moments of indulgence into acts of wellness. Every decision you make — from flavors to packs to the systems behind them — will ripple outward, building trust, excitement, and repeat joy at scale.
You’ll look back and know you set a new standard for what functional snacking can be. That you gave people the gift of choosing delight and health in the same bite. That you took a category once overlooked and made it a household name. Years from now, you’ll see shelves full of your work and know you sparked a movement.
