Who We Are:

Our story began in 2011 when a group of office workers at a major logistics company in Chicago had a lunch problem. Nearby options were limited, and the team was spending too much time and money traveling to their favorite restaurants. They had an idea: bring Chicago’s local restaurant culture inside the office to sell food. It was an immediate hit. When they discovered people from other companies sneaking into their office, they knew they were on to something.

Fooda pioneered the concept of rotating popup restaurants inside offices. Today, we operate in 45 cities with over 100 million meals served and continue to grow rapidly.

Powered by technology and a network of 1500+ restaurants, we feed hungry people at work through a platform of unique food programs located within companies, office buildings, hospitals, schools, distribution centers, and more. At Fooda, we believe a workplace food program should be something employees love and look forward to every day.

The Vice President of Product & Consumer Experience, reporting to the Chief Technology Officer is a builder-operator owning Product Management and Consumer(B2C) Marketing end-to-end (strategy, budget, team and execution), alongside championing AI-driven innovation to drive product growth, consumer and partner engagement. This role partners with the existing B2B Marketing and Data Science functions while building out the B2C/consumer-marketing muscle.

Product Strategy & Execution:

• Define and manage the product roadmap covering core features and AI-embedded/AI-powered capabilities with clear metrics such as revenue growth and user engagement.

• Build the consumer-marketing function: hire, mentor, and scale a data-driven team (growth, lifecycle, creative) that works hand-in-glove with Product.
• Run a test-and-learn engine, designing experiments, analyzing results, and iterating rapidly, using modern analytics and Data Science models to personalize outreach and offers.

Data Science and Consumer Insights:

• Work with the leader of Data Science to embed DS models (pricing, personalization, forecasting) into product features while keeping DS an independent “truth‑teller” for enterprise KPIs.
• Improve segmentation, pricing, and targeting to enhance consumer insights and outcomes.

Cross Functional Collaboration:

• Collaborate with Sales, and Operations to drive product-led growth and innovation.
• Work with other senior leaders to establish decision-making frameworks and clear accountability for strategic initiatives.
• Represent consumer needs to inform executive-level strategic decisions.

What You Should Already Have:

• 10+ years in product leadership, including scaling a marketplace from <$100 M to $1B+ revenue, or steering an already $1B+ business.

• Ability to align product development with marketing efforts to achieve measurable growth outcomes.
• Demonstrated success running build‑vs‑buy playbooks and post‑merger/acquisition product integration.
• Expert in ROI modeling and first‑principles thinking; comfortable defending investments in board settings.
• Track record of hiring product talent including AI and consumer‑marketing into lean teams, then scaling responsibly.
• Hands-on experience guiding PCI, SOC 2, SOX, or comparable audits through product releases.
• Proven experience in building, operating and scaling marketplaces, consumer platforms, or digital businesses is required.
• Strong communication, collaboration, and leadership skills with the ability to operate effectively at the executive level.
