KINETIC CREATIVE is hiring - Product Manager, starting ASAP, Emeryville

They say timing is everything, and the time is now. We have a rare opportunity for a Product Manager looking to make a brilliant career-move.

We’re specifically seeking Product Manager savants with a passion and flair for the food & beverage industry. Who doesn’t like food and beverages?

This wildly fun, nationally-recognized local company (headquartered in Emeryville) is seeking a unique player to join their team, with emphasis on the coolness factor and an exquisitely relaxed company culture.

If that made you smile and nod your head, keep reading. This Product Manager MUST have extensive online merchandising and be an expert in forecasting products. So far, so good?

The intention is to bring someone on board directly, but this will start out as an open-ended contract, then see how it plays out. They need you to start fairly soon, but can be flexible if need be.

Ok, now for the rest of the details, from our client:

“The biggest thing we need is experience with online merchandising. Someone who knows how to forecast products, bring them to market for e-commerce, monitor them, and then pull them down. This person will have to work with several different teams (Merchandising, Accounting, IT, Creative Services) across the company so they also need to have strong relationship building skills. This person would also be managing the Webmaster, so some managing experience is required. Photoshop and Magento experience a big plus, but not a deal breaker”
