ezCater is the world’s largest online marketplace for catering – a $60+ billion market in the U.S. We make it superbly easy for businesspeople to find and order great food for meetings and events, and we help our catering partners grow their business. We’re backed by $320 million in venture funding and in early 2019 were valued at $1.25 billion. Our mission is to power the world’s catering, and we’ll make it happen – even more surely if you come help us.

We’re a multi-sided marketplace connecting individual B2B buyers and entire companies with restaurants and delivery partners. Each side of our marketplace feels, correctly, that it’s #1 in our hearts. As a Senior Product Manager, your focus will be on on the demand side of our business - making sure we help our customers successfully order catering anytime they need it.

This particular role will be working on one of the new initiatives surrounding our marketplace. 

What you’ll do:

  • Deeply understand the market landscape and needs of our customers
  • Operate with a bias for speed and growing quickly
  • Guide cross-functional teams in a highly iterative, rapidly evolving agile environment
  • Work with stakeholders to gather requirements, create user stories, and develop the product roadmap.
  • Own the product roadmap for your area - an exciting new initiative for ezCater
  • Manage feature development from conception through design, build, release and experimentation.
  • Collaborate with the business, design and engineering teams to assess value, usability, and feasibility of new product and feature offerings
  • Create and monitor the ongoing metrics that measure and define success
  • Maximize velocity of learning so we’ll quickly know if we’re focused on the right things

You Have:

  • 5+ years of relevant product management experience
  • An entrepreneurial mindset with demonstrated experience operating in ambiguous problem spaces. Real entrepreneurial / intrapreneurial experience a plus 
  • Substantial experience working directly with agile development teams
  • Experience in user research, bolstered by heartfelt empathy for B2B users
  • Solid understanding of UI/UX design
  • A healthy dose of creativity surrounded by guardrails of data
  • A highly collaborative approach, supported by excellent communication and organizational skills
  • A solid understanding of applicable web technologies


What you’ll get from us:

Importantly, you’ll get a tremendous amount of authority and autonomy. You’ll own your outcomes and see measurable results for your efforts. With ezCater’s radical transparency and trust, you’ll have open access to the data that drives our decisions. You'll have a coaching environment to learn and develop, and ezUniversity sessions will provide plenty of opportunities to expand your mind.

At the same time, you’ll get sane working hours and a huge amount of flexibility around work/life balance. Have people in your life – of any age – who always, often, or sometimes need your help? We make room for that. Have a bad thing or a good thing happen to you? We make room for that, too.

Oh, and here’s what else you’ll get: Market salary, stock options you’ll help make worth a lot, the usual holidays, all-you-can-eat vacation, 401K, health/dental/FSA, long-term disability insurance, subsidized T-passes, a great office in the heart of Boston, a tremendous amount of responsibility and autonomy, wicked awesome co-workers, cupcakes (and many more goodies), and knowing that you helped get this rocket ship to the moon.

ezCater is an equal opportunity employer. We embrace humans of every background, appearance, race, religion, color, national origin, gender, gender identity, sexual orientation, age, marital status, veteran status, and disability status. At the same time, we do not employ jerks, even brilliant ones.
