Sr. Product Manager – Specialty Ingredients | Client Opportunity in Food & Ingredient Innovation

Our client, a science-driven organization developing novel protein and functional ingredient solutions, is seeking a Senior Product Manager to lead commercialization strategy for a next-generation ingredient platform. This is a newly created, highly visible role with direct access to executive leadership and a mandate to bridge technical innovation with market opportunity.

Role Overview

This position sits at the intersection of product strategy, technical development, and commercial execution. The individual will play a critical role in shaping how ingredient capabilities are translated into scalable, market-ready solutions across multiple application areas.

This is a build-focused role in an evolving environment—ideal for someone who can operate with autonomy, bring structure where it doesn’t yet exist, and help define a new business line from the ground up.

Key Responsibilities

  • Define product strategy and positioning for ingredient-based solutions across key categories
  • Translate technical performance and application data into clear commercial value propositions
  • Develop pricing frameworks and support go-to-market strategy for new offerings
  • Collaborate across technical, regulatory, and commercial teams to align on product direction
  • Incorporate customer insights into roadmap development and prioritization
  • Support the transition of products from pilot stage to scalable commercial launch
  • Act as a key connector between innovation and revenue generation

Qualifications

  • Experience in product, strategy, or commercialization roles within B2B ingredient or food technology environments
  • Strong understanding of ingredient functionality and how it translates to end-use applications
  • Proven ability to connect technical development with commercial outcomes
  • Experience influencing pricing, positioning, or product strategy
  • Comfortable operating in ambiguous, fast-evolving environments
  • Strong cross-functional collaboration and executive communication skills

Ideal Profile

Our client is seeking a commercially minded product leader who understands both the science and the business of ingredients. The ideal candidate has experience bringing complex products to market and thrives in environments where they can build, influence, and scale.

The Opportunity

This is a rare opportunity to help shape a new category within a forward-looking organization. The role offers high visibility, significant ownership, and the chance to directly impact how a novel ingredient platform reaches and serves the market.
