What are the responsibilities and job description for the Senior Manager, Product Management position at Leapfrog Brands?
Who We Are
As one of the fastest-growing on-the-go drinkware companies in America, we’ve got a reputation for doing great things. Our vision is simple - bring delight to eating and drinking. Delight is different to everyone. Whether it’s the perfect cup of coffee, or a water bottle that helps you crush your workout, our mission is to make it look great, function perfectly and cost less than you’d expect.
Our Swig Life brand started as a woman owned and operated lifestyle brand. Swig Life designs and produces premium insulated drinkware and coolers with women in mind. We believe that your water bottle, travel tumbler and insulated cooler are a reflection of your personal style, and this inspires us to design products that women love, whether for themselves or for a gift.
Together, we navigate each day with optimism, curiosity, a healthy sense of humor and a strong allergy to the word “no.” This desire for better, coupled with a deep understanding of consumers’ daily lives, gets us to meaningful delight.
