Senior Product Manager, Data & AI

San Francisco, California, United States

Afresh is the leading AI company in fresh food—partnering with grocers like Albertsons, Wakefern, Meijer, and Stater Bros to order billions of dollars of fresh food in over 12,000 grocery departments nationwide.

Following record-breaking 70% growth in 2025, we’ve expanded our platform to cover all fresh departments, launched our full store suite, and debuted DC Fresh Buying.

We’re on a mission to eliminate food waste and make fresh food accessible to all. In 2025 alone our software helped save 200M lbs of food waste. If you're looking for a role where your work directly translates into massive scale and social good, and you want to be part of the team that defines the future of fresh, there is no better time to join us.

About the role

We're looking for a Senior Product Manager to lead our Data & AI product initiatives—the engine that powers Afresh's competitive advantage. Data is one of our key differentiators, directly impacting the success of our applied science and customer experience

You'll lead 2-3 active customer integrations end-to-end, working hands-on with our data teams to identify bottlenecks, brainstorm solutions, and explore how AI tools can dramatically reduce integration time and improve our integration capabilities. These real-world integration experiences will directly inform your product strategy and enable you to build solutions that matter.

You'll have the opportunity to explore and build new products that further differentiate our data platform and integration ability. Specifically, you'll lead the 0 to 1 build out of two new data products that productize our data capabilities and unlock new value for customers. You'll leverage AI throughout—from AI-powered debugging tools that help customers self-resolve issues, to AI-assisted integration development that accelerates our delivery, to intelligent data quality monitoring that proactively identifies and diagnoses problems.

This role requires you to truly understand our data systems and the customer-facing needs of the integration experience. You'll conduct user research and work with design to build out user-facing data ingestion monitors, alerts, and debugging experiences. You'll be working with an incredibly hardworking team of engineers, designers, and product managers to define and own the product vision for how AI can help us move faster, work better, and solve one of the toughest product problems we have—one that is absolutely critical to unlocking accelerated growth at Afresh.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
