About the Role
We are looking for a sharp, hands-on Fractional Product Manager to work directly alongside our Head of Product and cross-functional teams to execute against our product roadmap. This is a tactical execution role — you will translate strategy and vision into well-defined, well-sequenced work that ships. You will serve as the connective tissue between the Head of Product and our Behavioral Science, UX, Engineering, and Data Analytics teams — keeping delivery moving, removing blockers, and ensuring the right things get built the right way.
Key Responsibilities
Roadmap Execution Partner with the Head of Product to translate product vision and strategy into a clear, prioritized roadmap. Break down roadmap initiatives into well-scoped epics, stories, and tasks in Linear. Own sprint planning, backlog grooming, and sprint review ceremonies in coordination with Engineering.

Cross-functional Collaboration Work closely with Behavioral Science to ensure product decisions are grounded in Fresh Tri's neuroscience methodology and Iterative Mindset Method. Partner with UX to move designs from concept to implementation-ready, maintaining high standards of usability and user empathy. Collaborate with Engineering on technical scoping, sprint execution, and QA sign-off. Engage Data Analytics to define success metrics, monitor feature performance, and surface insights that feed back into prioritization. Product Quality & Process Write clear, thorough product requirements and acceptance criteria. Maintain Linear as the source of truth for all in-flight and upcoming work. Coordinate cross-team communication via Slack, keeping async workflows efficient and transparent. Facilitate reviews of Figma designs with engineering to ensure feasibility and alignment before development begins. Requirements 4+ years of product management or product ownership experience, ideally in health tech, wellness, or consumer digital products. Proven ability to operate independently and drive execution without heavy oversight. Strong command of agile delivery — sprint planning, story writing, backlog management, and release coordination. Excellent written communication and async collaboration skills; you default to clarity. Hands-on experience with Linear, Figma, and Slack. Comfortable working cross-functionally with design, engineering, data, and science stakeholders simultaneously. Detail-oriented and organized, with a track record of shipping high-quality product on time.
