About Us

Hungryroot is using AI to build the most consumer-centric food and wellness company to ever exist. We act as your personal assistant for healthy living—getting to know your goals, lifestyle, and budget, and recommending and delivering healthy groceries, easy recipes, and essential supplements for you and your family.

It’s the easiest way to eat healthy, achieve your goals, save time, and discover new foods. We believe food is the foundation of health, convenience should not mean compromise, and that everyone is unique in how they eat and live. That’s why we’re building a future in which healthy living is both easy and enjoyable.

Hungryroot is a distributed team of top talent across 28+ U.S. states. While we have a headquarters in New York City, our remote-first culture emphasizes collaboration, team-building, and flexibility. Expect regular virtual team events, strong ownership and accountability, and an annual company retreat.

About the Role

We are looking for a Lead Product Manager, Inventory & Fulfillment Systems to be a part of our growing Product team. You will be responsible for owning the logic, workflows, and prioritization of our inventory and fulfillment-related systems — ensuring they operate reliably, scale effectively, and balance technical, operational, and customer experience tradeoffs.

This role will join Hungryroot’s Product team and you will report directly to our Senior Director of Product Management. In this critical role you will drive clarity and alignment across Engineering, Data Science, and Operations to optimize core system behaviors such as inventory logic, shuffle rules, overmax thresholds, and alerting frameworks. We are looking for a highly analytical, systems-oriented product leader who thrives in complex, cross-functional environments. If you want to help us change how people grocery shop and eat for the better, we encourage you to apply!

Responsibilities

  • Own the product strategy and roadmap for systems that power inventory allocation, order release workflows, and fulfillment and delivery logic, including automatic order content adjustments, allocation rules, and over-max or oversell protections. Oversee the evolution of internal tooling that enables these capabilities.
  • Partner closely with Engineering, Data Science, and Operations to translate complex operational rules into scalable product solutions. Define requirements, drive prioritization, and deliver system improvements that increase reliability, automation, and operational efficiency across the fulfillment lifecycle.
  • Identify structural system risks and inefficiencies, and lead cross-functional efforts to resolve root causes — not just symptoms.
  • Establish clear monitoring, alerting, and visibility frameworks to proactively manage inventory health, demand overage, and customer risk.
  • Facilitate alignment and decision-making when tradeoffs arise between technical feasibility, operational complexity, and business impact.
  • Publish structured updates and maintain clear documentation to ensure transparency around priorities, risks, and system changes.
  • Continually integrate AI processes into your workflow and into system wide solutions for Operations and Fulfillment

Qualifications

  • 6+ years of Product Management experience, preferably in platform, systems, operations, or supply chain environments.
  • Strong systems thinking and ability to understand and reason through complex logic flows and technical tradeoffs.
  • Experience partnering closely with Engineering and Data Science teams to ship backend or platform improvements.
  • Demonstrated ability to prioritize across competing initiatives with clear business judgment and risk awareness.
  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills with a structured, clear approach to problem-solving.
  • Comfort operating in ambiguity and driving alignment across cross-functional stakeholders.
  • Experience with inventory, fulfillment, marketplace, subscription, or logistics-driven businesses is a plus

  • Remote-first: work from home, work from our NYC office, work from anywhere in the U.S. - you decide!
  • Equity
  • Unlimited vacation policy
  • Universal paid parental leave
  • Monthly Hungryroot credit for delicious, healthy groceries
  • Comprehensive health, vision, dental, and life insurance

Hungryroot is an AI-powered online grocery service designed to make healthy eating easy, personal, and sustainable for its customers. Many people face the challenge of wanting to eat healthier but lack the time for extensive meal planning, grocery shopping, and cooking. Hungryroot addresses this by getting to know each customer's unique preferences, lifestyle, budget, and health objectives. Through a detailed quiz covering tastes and daily routines, the platform gathers over 100 explicit data points per customer, enabling its AI to curate a personalized grocery plan. This plan includes recommended groceries, simple recipes, and even essential supplements, aiming to help customers feel their best. The service inverts the traditional shopping experience; instead of starting with an empty cart, customers begin with a full cart of healthy groceries and recipes that they can then edit. This approach significantly reduces the time and stress associated with meal preparation, helps users achieve their health goals, discover new foods, and save money by reducing food waste and reliance on takeout.

The company was founded in 2015 with the belief that food is the foundation of health and that convenience shouldn't mean compromising on quality or personal needs. Initially, Hungryroot operated as a packaged food company offering a small line of healthy products. However, responding to customer demand for a more comprehensive solution, it pivoted in 2019 to become an AI-driven online grocery delivery service. Today, Hungryroot offers over 600 groceries that meet a high-quality 'Root Standard' – free of artificial sweeteners, colors, preservatives, partially hydrogenated oils, and high-fructose corn syrup – and over 6,000 chef-crafted recipes. These recipes are designed to be nutritious, easy to follow, and typically take 10 minutes or less to prepare. Hungryroot supports over 25 dietary restrictions and preferences, more than many competitors in the industry, catering to needs such as vegan, vegetarian, gluten-free, and high-protein diets. By leveraging AI, Hungryroot not only personalizes the customer experience but also optimizes its operations to minimize food waste, contributing to a more sustainable and economical way of grocery shopping.
