Product Manager

Cooler Screens was founded on the core idea that consumers deserve a far better experience than what is available today in brick-and-mortar retail. We call this concept Consumer Experience (“CX”) and it guides all that we do.  We have begun the CX journey by bringing what consumers love about shopping on-line to the frozen and refrigerated food aisle.

Cooler Screens is re-imagining the business of brick-and-mortar retail for retailers and brands.  We are transforming retail cooler surfaces into IoT enabled screens that deliver new marketing opportunities and smart merchandising for the ultimate shopper experience. Cooler Screens is building the world’s first and largest in-store digital media and edge computing platform at the retail point-of-sale.

Cooler Screens is powered by proprietary innovation and a global network of industry-leading partners.  Global technology, CPG, and retail leaders have partnered with Cooler Screens to be part of this important and rapidly growing industry initiative.   We are backed and led by some of the most prominent Silicon Valley and Chicago leaders, advisers, and investors.  

As Product Manager, you will play a critical role in managing the evolution of our core customer and partner solutions. You will be responsible for the strategic development of new products that serve to drive traffic, customer experience, revenue growth, and profitability for the Company.  You will provide direct impact in building a new digital in-store shopper experience that enables new retail merchandising and brand advertising capabilities.  We are looking for a leader who is driven and highly collaborative to help us shape the future of our digital media offering.
