Product Manager Senior - Shelfstable Food

  • NPD
  • Full time
  • Brno / Praha / London / London

We are Vilgain 🚀, a fast‑growing food & e‑commerce brand changing the market of nutrition, home care, and lifestyle products. We are looking for a Category Manager with strong product sense, a commercial mindset, and the ability to build long‑term supplier relationships.

What you’ll own

  • Full ownership of assigned shelf‑stable food categories.

  • Managing the process from taking over the brief to launching the product on the market.

  • Sourcing and selecting the right suppliers, manufacturers, ingredients, and packaging, including purchasing and supplier relationship management.

  • Monitoring trends and identifying new opportunities.

  • Working closely with production, quality, and purchasing teams to ensure a smooth production process — including availability, quality, lead times, and supplier capacity.

  • Collaborating with marketing on product launches.

Who we’re looking for

  • You have strong experience in category management, product management, or private label product development within food/FMCG.

  • You understand shelf‑stable food, the supplier market, and how a product is built from brief to launch.

  • You can manage a category strategically, but you are not afraid to go into detail.

  • You have a commercial mindset — you think about margin, pricing, volume, differentiation, forecast, and real product performance.

  • You know how to prioritise — more products do not automatically mean a better portfolio.

  • You have high ownership, strong drive for results, and can handle a fast‑paced environment.

  • You want to create products with the potential to succeed not only in Czechia, but also across international markets.

What we offer

  • A fast‑growing e‑commerce brand where your work has real and visible impact.

  • A team that sticks together, works hard, and still knows how to have fun.

  • 5 weeks of holiday and a Multisport card.

  • Internal education, product credits, and other benefits.
