Your work will not only impact the company, it will impact the lives of millions of people around the world. When you step up to a career at Trove, you step up to cutting-edge excellence. You sign up for bold action and invigorating synergy. You agree to face—and break through—new challenges every single day. **Job Responsibilities** When you step into a Product Manager role at Trove Brands, you step into ownership. You sign up for defining what products should exist, how they are built, and how they evolve. You agree to face new challenges every day and turn ambiguity into clear, actionable product direction. The Product Manager is responsible for owning product strategy and execution for one or more product categories.

The Product Manager partners closely with Brand Managers, Product Developers, Design, Legal, Supply Chain, and Commercial teams to ensure products are user-centered, technically sound, on brand, and commercially successful. This role acts as the category and user expert, translating insights into clear product definitions that guide development from concept through end of life. At Trove Brands, Product Management and Brand Management work as close peers; Product Managers own *category* roadmaps, product definition, and cross-functional execution within Product Development. The Product Manager receives product ideas from across the organization, ensures they are properly vetted, and partners with Brand to champion the right products through development and into market. Together, the two roles ensure the right products reach consumers quickly and successfully. **How You’ll Make an Impact** Every role at Trove Brands is critical to our success as a whole.
