The Team
The fitness and wellness industry is built on consistency and transformation, but it’s challenged by high churn due to seasonality and the ebb and flow of human motivation.
We are building the "Motivation Engine" for this industry. Our goal is to help businesses seamlessly attract new clients, convert them through high-value trials, and turn them into lifelong advocates. We are looking for a Lead Product Manager to lead the charge in evolving our current point solutions - messaging automation, AI chatbots, and sales pipeline tools - into a single, unified, world-class CRM.
The Role and Responsibilities
This is a position designed for a PM who loves the craft of product management. You will be responsible for both the high-level strategy of our growth ecosystem and the hands-on execution of our next-generation CRM.
- Product Execution (Player): Directly lead a dedicated squad to envision, build, and launch a unified CRM. You’ll take three separate solutions and weave them into a seamless experience that drives client retention.
- GTM Collaboration: Partner closely with Go-To-Market teams to package, price, and position the CRM solution for maximum market impact.
- Cross-Functional Integration: Work with other product and platform teams to ensure the CRM is deeply integrated into the broader Playlist ecosystem, creating a frictionless experience for both business owners and their clients.
Who You Are
- An Experienced Builder: 7+ years of experience as a hands-on PM, with a proven track record of shipping impactful products from 0 to 1 and scaling them.
- A Growth Expert: Deep understanding of client growth lifecycles and marketing systems. You understand the "leaky bucket" problem and have diverse examples of how you have creatively improved the funnel (or built tools/platforms to enable) within successful Consumer or B2B companies.
- A Clear Thinker and Collaborator: You can analyze complex situations, generate nuanced strategic plans, and think end-to-end—from customer opportunity to product design and architecture to distribution and revenue. You have excellent written and verbal communication, and operate collaboratively.
- AI-Forward (Plus): Hands-on experience integrating Generative AI into products to solve real-world user problems.
