Who we are.

For 20 years, our mission has been to increase the presence and accessibility of natural and organic products to encourage healthier and more vibrant living. By leveraging SPINS’ industry-leading proprietary data and analytics, our technology enables deeper, more engaged relationships between Retailers, Brands and Consumers through our platform, web, and mobile products. At the core of our work lies a passion to create a culture of sustainable health & wellness.

What you will do.

The Vice President of Product is the linchpin between business, solving for customers, engineering, design, and SaaS execution. This role is responsible for leading the strategic vision and tactical delivery of company OKRs as they relate to existing and new products and services as well as their tracking and commercial success. The VP of Product understands that culture eats strategy for breakfast.

 As we transform the retail customer experience with our SaaS platform we invite you to SPINS in enabling the journey.

 Who You Are

  • You have demonstrated several years working in a product leadership role that imbues strong team development aligned to a vision, execution (GSD), while not burning the culture.
  • You have fought the good fight and know when to say no and when to say yes
  • You know how to develop and lead an eclectic group of people to perform better through your efforts (you need to be able to articulate what those efforts are)
  • You are a highly collaborative leader with the ability to build and lead a team to work effectively in a fast-paced, energetic and high growth environment
  • Effective influencer and ability to work with cross-functional teams to manage, support and solve problems
  • You have a successful track record of collaborating with engineers and designers to ensure great user experiences
  • You have excellent analytical skills
  • You are a talented storyteller and your creative thinking starts with the customer and works backwards
  • You are highly organized, have ability to complete a high volume of tasks and projects with little to no guidance and tight deadlines
  • You operate well in environments without perfect information.

Requirements of the Role

  • Have a sense for OKRs, JTBD, Outcomes not Outputs, Design Thinking, Strategy, and Lean Product Management
  • Have fought the fight more than once. Not looking to be your first rodeo
  • Know how to work across departments successfully. Must give examples.
  • Understand the principles taught as part of a top-tier MBA program
  • Have made more than a hundred mistakes in a product leadership role (don’t list them all)

Don’t apply until:

  • You have something to say about each of the bullets above
  • Been through more than one rodeo
  • You do your homework (if we have to tell you what it is, this role is not for you)
  • You’re ready to inherit the best team imaginable

The SPINS Way

  • Direct – We communicate with clarity, honesty and respect in all situations and embrace opportunities to provide solution-oriented feedback.
  • Determined – We are committed to overcoming all obstacles to achieve results. We adapt to change, seek opportunities to learn and rapidly translate that learning into action.
  • Passionate – We go above and beyond to help our partners achieve their goals. We challenge assumptions and are comfortable forging new paths.
  • Collaborative – We leave our egos at the door, believing that working together we will produce an outcome that’s greater than each individual contribution.

  • Company subsidized commuter transit program
  • Gym, bike storage and showers onsite
  • Fresh and healthy snacks daily
