Senior Manager - Global DTC Product Innovation

Ze Company (ZeCo) is ABI’s Direct-To-Consumer leading organization that has developed over 30 digital products and services that generate over $1B across 10 markets. With a mandate to develop and scale digital products with a mission to make the purchase of beverages for consumers frictionless and more convenience, we have built a high-performing product management team with significant fast growing startups experience that today oversees 30+ digital products used by millions of consumers across 12 countries. We are in an incredible moment of accelerated growth and, therefore, it is important that you can explain clearly and objectively how you can help the product organization run more smoothly.

You’ll know everything about our digital products, how they work, and their capabilities while you will constantly monitor digital products of leading On-Demand delivery startups (such as Rappi, Uber Eat, iFood, Jokr). With that knowledge you will identify product gaps as well as product led growth opportunities. You feel comfortable being in deep technical conversations because you have a strong software development background. You feel comfortable understanding the business reason, consumer needs, and KPIs of a feature because you have experience launching and scaling digital products. You are comfortable rolling up the sleeves and guide the product teams through the discovery and delivery of product opportunities you sourced. You will constantly scan the market and identify new internal and external product growth opportunities that can be prioritized in our roadmaps.
