Role Summary

The Senior Product Manager, Portfolio Strategy owns the strategic and consumer-grounded decisions about the portfolio itself: what gets prioritized, what gets rationalized, and what the annual calendar should look like.

The Senior Product Manager will work closely with the Program Management team (Program Managers organized by state cluster) and will be the primary cross-functional lead for Ops, R&D, Compliance, and Commercial on all active portfolio programs.


Responsibilities

• Own the annual product calendar: refreshes, LTOs, and seasonal programs across all active markets
• LTO ideation and brief writing: leading concept development, validating the consumer case, and handing off a complete PRD before development begins. LTO briefs require the same rigor as any other product launch.

• Program prioritization: assessing in-flight programs against business impact and making clear recommendations on what moves, what waits, and what gets cut
• Stage gate progression for portfolio programs, in partnership with the Program Management team
• Creative brief ownership: writing the brief for Creative and Packaging, reviewing execution against it, and flagging when direction drifts. Accountable for the brief, not the final artwork.
• Product perspective in pricing and promotional conversations; brings the consumer and portfolio lens into those workstreams without owning them.
• The Senior Product Manager owns the why and what of each program. The Program Management team owns the how and when.

QUALIFICATIONS

• Ability to prioritize across a high-volume program mix based on business impact
• Must be at least 21 years of age and able to pass a comprehensive background check.
