Kettle designs digital products with soul, for some of the most ambitious consumer brands in the world. Our work lives at the intersection of product thinking and brand storytelling; products that are just as considered in feeling as they are in function.
We are looking for a Senior Product Manager to join our Product team. In this role, you'll work across the full product lifecycle, from vision setting and establishing a roadmap through product execution; partnering closely with creative and development teams to define, design, and ship great work. You'll bring a human-centered point of view to everything you touch, and a bias toward clarity that helps teams move well together.
Candidates in the San Francisco Bay area preferred due to client location.
Candidates should have:
- Experience in product management, strategy, or a related discipline, with a track record of contributing across the full product lifecycle in an agency or product environment
- The ability to gather and prioritize requirements, translate stakeholder needs into clear product definitions (user stories, JTBD, acceptance criteria), and keep the team oriented to what matters
- Experience contributing to product roadmaps and partnering with production on sprint planning and execution
- Comfort working with analytics, user research, and qualitative inputs to evaluate product performance and inform iteration
- Experience working across both B2B and B2C product contexts, with the ability to adapt to different categories, business models, and user types
- Strong communication skills. You can represent the product strategy clearly to internal teams and client partners, present work with confidence, and incorporate feedback to sharpen the outcome
- Fluency with AI tools as part of your product practice. You use them to move faster, think more broadly, and bring sharper inputs to the work.
- You’re actively curious about how AI is changing product experiences and what it means to design for AI-enabled features and surfaces
- Experience contributing to primary research (interviews, usability testing, ethnography) in partnership with UX or strategy leads
We’d like to know that you can:
- Manage the backlog, feature prioritization, and iterative release planning in a way that keeps the team focused and moving
- Be a reliable, proactive presence on a cross-functional team, a clear communicator who helps resolve ambiguity and keeps work on track
- Build a working understanding of client business goals and user needs, and use that understanding to filter and inform decisions throughout a project
- Partner with design and engineering to translate strategy into features that ship, on time, on brief, and at a high standard of quality
- Adapt across different working styles and engagement types, from focused delivery sprints to early-stage definition and exploration
The target range of base compensation for this role is $120,000–$150,000. Actual compensation is influenced by a wide array of factors including but not limited to skill set, level of experience, and location.
