Full Job Description
About the Role

We are looking for a Senior Product Manager to own a defined set of modules within the LINQ School Nutrition platform, sharing ownership of the broader product with another Senior Product Manager. You report to the Sr. Director of Nutrition and are accountable for your module area end to end - strategy, roadmap, customer engagement, and delivery. LINQ School Nutrition is a complex, compliance-heavy product used by K-12 districts across the country to manage nutrition programs, and the work you do directly affects how districts serve students every day.
What You'll Be Doing
  • Own the end-to-end product lifecycle for a complex product area, including strategy, discovery, delivery, and post-launch measurement.
  • Develop and maintain a product roadmap that balances near-term customer needs with longer-term platform investments and business goals.
  • Lead customer engagement - advisory boards, user research, interviews - and translate insights into strategic direction.
  • Assess product capabilities, backlog health, and competitive positioning to set priorities across competing demand.
  • Partner with engineering leadership on technical architecture decisions, platform investments, and technical debt tradeoffs.
  • Build and communicate business cases for significant investments, with clear framing of alternatives and tradeoffs.
  • Identify and champion cross-team dependencies, surfacing risks before they become blockers.
  • Operate as the recognized subject-matter expert for your domain, internally and with customers.
  • Mentor PMs and APMs, raising the quality of product work across the team.
  • Contribute to broader product strategy discussions, bringing data-driven perspectives and a clear point of view.
What We're Looking For
  • 5 or more years of product management experience on SaaS products.
  • Demonstrated experience owning a complex product area with multiple stakeholders, competing priorities, and real tradeoffs.
  • Direct experience partnering with engineering teams at the architecture level - not just execution.
  • Strong client-facing experience, including regular customer engagement to understand needs, challenges, and outcomes.
  • Experience building and communicating product roadmaps and business cases to senior stakeholders.
  • Strong strategic thinking - you can zoom out, see the market, and connect product decisions to business outcomes.
  • Sound judgment on what to build and what not to build, with the ability to defend those calls clearly.
  • Technically fluent - comfortable with API-based integrations, data architecture, and infrastructure tradeoffs.
  • Comfortable making decisions and owning outcomes in ambiguous, high-stakes environments.
  • Collaborative but direct - you surface disagreements and drive to resolution rather than avoiding conflict.
  • Experience in K-12 nutrition, school nutrition programs, or adjacent domains (EdTech, compliance-heavy SaaS, public sector software) strongly preferred.
  • Actively uses AI tools to accelerate work including research, synthesis, writing, analysis, and rapid prototyping, and brings curiosity about how AI can help the team validate ideas faster, internally and with customers.
