Product Manager - Drinkware

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. Organized by product category rather than brand, this role defines what products exist, how they are designed, and how they are managed throughout their lifecycle.

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. Your specific responsibilities as part of the Product team will include:

• Own the 1 to 3-year product roadmap by product category
• Define category-level product strategy in partnership with Brand and Executive leadership, translating brand and consumer direction into product roadmaps and portfolio plans.
• Lead product definition development in collaboration with Brand Managers and technical teams
• Act as the category expert, monitoring trends, white space, and competitive dynamics

• Participate in semi-annual portfolio and roadmap reviews
• Maintain competitive, trend, and share landscapes to inform decision-making
