Digital Product Manager

We’re Tovala, a food-tech company reinventing home cooking to save consumers time. Through an innovative combination of hardware, software, and fresh food delivery, we make it incredibly simple for anyone to prepare and enjoy delicious, home-cooked meals without sacrificing time to do whatever matters to them. Through our superior technology, product experience and food quality, we have separated Tovala from the busy pack of other meal delivery businesses. In the process, we’ve amassed a loyal, rapidly growing following and our retention, product engagement and customer NPS are all best-in-class. We’ve raised over $100mm from great investors like Left Lane Capital, Origin Ventures, Y Combinator and Comcast Ventures and have invested strongly in building a unique culture that fosters growth, personal development and camaraderie.

We’re looking for a Digital Product Manager to help shape and deliver a high-quality digital experience across Tovala’s mobile app and web platforms. In this role, you’ll focus on understanding our customers’ needs, and translating those needs into intuitive, impactful digital experiences that make ordering, cooking, and connecting with Tovala effortless and joyful.

You’ll work side by side with UX designers and engineers to build and refine the experiences that solve real customer problems and drive business impact. From exploring early concepts and prototypes to launching and improving live features, you’ll ensure every interaction makes it easier and more enjoyable for customers to eat well at home. The right person for this role loves collaborating across disciplines, learning through experimentation, and taking pride in delivering products that work beautifully for real people. 

This role comes with broad ownership and real influence across our digital experience. While there are no direct reports, you’ll lead complex initiatives, use strong technical judgment, and collaborate closely with design, engineering, and senior leaders to move work forward. It’s a great fit for director-ready product leaders or former engineering managers who want high impact, strategic scope, and hands-on product work—without people management.

Location: Chicago, IL (Hybrid) - open to U.S.-based candidates who can travel to Chicago HQ monthly or quarterly.

> Put the Team First: We put what is best for the broader team ahead of what is best for ourselves or our immediate department.

> Get S#!t Done (Well): We celebrate people at all levels for delivering high impact work that expands the bounds of what we’re able to do.

> Connect the Dots: We engage with curiosity to learn how our work impacts others so that we can problem-solve holistically and work collaboratively.

> Be Direct: We share our perspective openly and directly, even when it feels difficult to do so.

> Embrace the Obstacles: We rise to meet challenges with a sense of urgency, resolve, and optimism.

> Champion the Customer: We consider and prioritize our customer in all of our decisions
