MarginEdge Co.
Overview
MarginEdge is seeking a
Senior Product Manager
to own and evolve our Restaurant Inventory Management platform, including the SmartScale—a precision hardware product tightly integrated with our software. Together, they enable restaurant inventory to be easy, accurate and quick—minutes instead of hours and highly accurate down to the gram. All data is synced in real-time across beer, wine, liquor, and key prep items, capabilities not offered by any other solution in the restaurant industry. Our inventory platform is part of a broader SaaS solution delivered through web and mobile applications, built specifically for restaurant operators. We help restaurants eliminate manual, error-prone back-office work and replace it with reliable, real-time data they can trust. As the inventory system expands beyond counting and into the prep workflow, the SmartScale will play a central role in capturing a single source of truth for inventory. Responsibilities

Analyze usage data to identify potential efficiency gains and workflow bottlenecks.
Translate customer feedback and data insights into actionable product requirements. Represent the voice-of-customer in conversations when evaluating priority and implementation.
Work with Design to prototype and iterate on solutions for internal and external user workflows.
Create detailed product requirements for new features and enhancements.
Work closely with Engineering to understand technical capabilities and constraints and refine requirements, optimizing customer value with feasibility.
Collaborate with Product Marketing and Operations teams to launch new features and process improvements, and collect feedback to ensure they drive expected outcomes.

Work with Data Analytics to build reporting on features launched to measure whether they drive desired outcomes.
Monitor and assess the performance of the inventory system and SmartScale to inform future development.
