This Product Manager will join the Opt Up team within Health & Wellness Customer Experience, focused on helping customers shop healthier through Kroger’s digital experiences.

Opt Up makes nutrition and health information easy to understand and use by surfacing product scores, Opt Up Picks, and personalized recommendations across the app and website. A core part of the experience allows customers to track their Opt Up Score over time, helping them see progress and make meaningful, realistic improvements to their shopping habits rather than focusing on one time decisions.

The Product Manager will own specific Opt Up features and experiences, partnering closely with Design, Engineering, Nutrition (Food for Health), Analytics (84.51°), and adjacent Customer and Merchandising product teams to deliver customer value and support measurable business outcomes.

Own and drive a product from vision, through design, to requirements, and finally delivery. Facilitate within a larger cross-functional team to solve business problems. Work with significant autonomy and freedom, requiring little oversight. This autonomy, however, will be within a broader strategy set by a Senior Product Manager and/or Group Product Manager. Demonstrate the company's core values of respect, honesty, integrity, diversity, inclusion, and safety.
