About the Role

We are looking for a Director, Product Management to own strategy for our Nutrition product line and

lead the team responsible for delivering it. You will set direction for Nutrition, partner at a peer level

with engineering directors and GTM leaders, and develop your direct reports into strong product leaders

and how the team operates at scale. This role reports to the VP of Product.

What You’ll Be Doing

• Own Nutrition product strategy, ensuring decisions ladder up to company direction.

• Shape strategy across product boundaries — understand how decisions in Nutrition create

dependencies or opportunities elsewhere in the portfolio and coordinate accordingly.

• Anticipate market shifts and competitive moves; adjust direction proactively.

• Connect product strategy to business outcomes — revenue, retention, and market position.

• Build executive-ready business cases for Nutrition investments; partner with finance on planning

and forecasting.

• Coordinate execution across Nutrition and adjacent product areas with interdependencies;

resolve cross-area conflicts in priority and resourcing.

• Anticipate and mitigate delivery risks before they impact outcomes.

• Own P&L or business performance metrics for Nutrition.

• Partner with engineering leadership on platform investments, technical debt strategy, and data

strategy for Nutrition.

• Partner at a peer level with engineering directors, sales leadership, and customer success — co-

owning outcomes.

• Represent Nutrition clearly to executive leadership, with well-framed tradeoffs and investment

rationale.

• Engage directly with food service directors and other customer stakeholders to understand their

operational challenges; represent LINQ externally in the K–12 nutrition and food service space,

including at industry conferences.

• Lead and develop your direct reports through regular 1:1s, structured feedback, individual

development planning, and clear performance expectations.

• Build and retain a high-performing product team within Nutrition.

• Identify high-potential talent and create conditions for accelerated growth.

• Resolve complex performance situations in partnership with HR.

What We’re Looking For

• 7 or more years in product management, with at least 2–3 years managing a team with direct

reports.

• Demonstrated experience owning a multi-product portfolio or product line, including products

at different lifecycle stages.

• Track record of driving cross-functional alignment at a peer level with engineering, sales, and

customer success.

• Experience building investment business cases and communicating product strategy to

executive leadership.

• Demonstrated ability to develop direct reports into strong performers.

• Experience in K–12 nutrition, school food service, or public sector SaaS preferred; background in

quick-serve restaurant or hospitality technology (e.g., Toast, OpenTable) is a strong plus.

• Strong customer sensibility, with the credibility to hold substantive conversations with food

service directors and other operational stakeholders; comfortable representing LINQ publicly,

including speaking at industry conferences.
