About the Role
You’ll support the global business leadership of a portfolio of innovative products in the heated cooking category, helping drive growth through consumer insight, storytelling, and cross-functional collaboration.

This role is ideal for a creative, consumer-obsessed, insight-driven product professional who thrives at intersection of product development, marketing, & strategy — someone who’s passionate about understanding people and developing meaningful, trend-forward products that inspire.

- A creative, idea-driven mindset with the ability to help shape a product marketing story by identifying unique selling propositions and clear reasons to believe.
