Product Manager - Operational Excellence
We usually respond within a week
We are Kavall & we give you fresh groceries on-demand. Delivering groceries in 10 minutes was up until recently unimaginable, but we believe that is how it should be, giving you what you want when you need it. By offering food of the highest quality from the producers you love, we transform the grocery industry through our own local stores, one at a time.
We are quickly expanding our Product / Tech team and are now looking to recruit a Product Manager for a new team focused on Operational Excellence, to work with the most critical part of our business. To deliver a great service to our customers, we rely on many underlying capabilities and systems, and our strategy to continue moving with speed and quality is to buy by default - rather than build - and integrate several specialized 3rd party SAAS systems for things like warehouse management, scheduling, demand forecasting, purchasing and more. We also do custom feature development where needed, and your team will include developers and other roles needed to be able to execute effectively, plus you'll manage external consultants for 3rd party integrations and maintenance.

What you will do (but not exclusively).
- Work closely with stakeholders across our Operations teams, and conduct your own internal research on the ground, to figure out where things need to improve with technology, to boost quality, effectiveness and support our continued growth.
- Evaluate 3rd party systems and suppliers to find the best match for our various needs, e.g. demand forecasting, purchasing and warehouse management.
- Project manage the setup, integration and maintenance of both in-house and 3rd party solutions in our integrated eco-system, leading both our own developers and external consultants in that work.
- Work across the full software development lifecycle, including gathering requirements, planning, development, rollout, evaluation, and maintenance.
- Work close with other product manager(s) and tech team(s) on projects where collaboration and integration with other parts of our tech stack is needed.
- Together with the CPO, you will be our first pure Product Manager at a startup that is about to explode in growth, and you'll get to experience all the resulting joys and challenges.
Requirements
- 5+ years of product management experience in agile software development environments
- Experience managing the work for in-house developers as well as external consultants / suppliers
- Technical skills to be able to evaluate architectural considerations and pros/cons of e.g. custom development vs using a 3rd party product
- A relevant university degree
- Excellent written and verbal communications skills
- Effortless English
- Located preferably in Stockholm, or alternatively in another city where we have one or more active stores
Bonus (nice-to-haves):
- Experience from retail operations
- Hands-on technical skills, e.g. testing APIs through Postman or examining logs to troubleshoot issues
- Swedish language
