About the role

Key responsibilities & impact

Define the launch strategy for each new partnership — messaging, activation plan, launch milestones, and success metrics
Work with marketing and brand partners on co-branded campaigns, member communications, and channel activation
Set and track launch KPIs; run post-launch reviews to identify what’s working and what to iterate on
Build partnership launch playbooks that make each new partner go-live smoother and faster than the last
Serve as CookUnity’s primary product point of contact for external partners — the person they call when something’s working and when it isn’t
Run regular partner touchpoints: product reviews, roadmap alignment sessions, and quarterly business reviews
Manage partner expectations, escalations, and change requests with clear communication and follow-through
Represent CookUnity at partner on-sites, industry events, and executive meetings
Own the product roadmap for all partner-facing surfaces: co-branded landing pages, benefit redemption flows, member eligibility verification, partner onboarding, and referral attribution
Partner closely with internal CookUnity PMs who own those surface areas to prioritize partnership work within their engineering team’s scope
Design seamless, high-converting experiences for customers who come to CookUnity through health and wellness brand partners
Run A/B tests on partner-specific acquisition and activation flows to improve conversion, time-to-first-meal, and early retention
Own the product strategy for CookUnity’s partner integration platform — APIs, SSO, referral and attribution systems, and data exchange flows
Translate partnership agreements and commercial commitments into clear product requirements and technical scopes
Work with engineering and external partner tech teams to ship clean, scalable integrations with clear SLAs and ownership
Build integration playbooks and scalable frameworks so that onboarding the next partner is faster and more predictable than the last
Define the measurement framework for partnership channel performance: partner-sourced acquisition, activation, retention, and LTV
Identify opportunities to turn integrations from one-time technical connections into compounding growth and retention levers
Surface partner learnings back into CookUnity’s core product roadmap — if health and wellness members behave differently, that insight should shape what we build

Requirements

What you’ll need

7+ years of product management experience, with meaningful exposure to partner integrations, platform products, or marketplace environments
Proven experience owning external partner relationships — you’ve been the primary point of contact for a strategic partner and know how to manage expectations, run business reviews, and resolve escalations
GTM chops: you’ve launched partnerships or products and can own the strategy from commercial agreement to live activation
Experience translating external partnership or BD agreements into product requirements and shipped product
Strong analytical instincts — comfortable defining metrics, running experiments, and using data to prioritize
Excellent cross-functional skills: you can align engineering, design, ops, and external partners around shared outcomes without having direct authority over any of them
Comfort operating in ambiguity and bringing structure to early-stage, fast-moving partnership models
Strong written and verbal communication — you’ll regularly interface with both external stakeholders and internal leadership
Ability to leverage generative AI to increase output quality and speed.
