We are hiring a senior product manager with 5-10 years of experience. This is our first PM hire: you'll work directly with the CEO/Head of Product and be an integral part of how we build.
Solin: The largest marketplace for fitness programs & challenges from creators. We also have a consumer subscription offering (similar to Amazon Prime's subscription) that incorporates AI-personalized nutrition + platform benefits.
Our mission is to make the world a healthier place. We're growing fast, and we're looking to add a product manager to accelerate our product.
Role
Three traits are incredibly important for this role:
- High-ownership execution: You can independently take a feature from loose problem definition to polished, production-ready feature with strong specs, clear rationale, and thorough edge-case coverage. You also must incorporate feedback quickly: this includes feedback for yourself/role and feedback on our product.
- Detail-oriented: You must have attention to detail.
- Sharp product instincts grounded in data: You have strong intuition for what will move users and you back it up with data.
Project Snapshots
Recent advances in AI have expanded what's possible with our product and are a primary focus. Examples of recent projects you would have been involved with:
- AI Powered & fully featured macro tracker that fit into our consumer subscription
- Functionality for our AI nutrition agent that enables users to customize high-protein meal plans
- Integrating AI into our creator onboarding flow to decrease friction and time to launch
Product team & approach
- Our product approach is focused, fast, and opinionated. We prioritize retention and daily engagement.
- 90% of your work will be in our app; ~10% will be mobile and desktop browser
- We prefer to learn quickly through idea iteration and testing new concepts vs. excessive amounts of customer calls or data analysis, fully built-out prototypes, etc. (we do these things, but in moderation)
A bit more
- Ideally you have a passion for wellness and fitness to align with our mission (make the world a healthier place)
- Unlimited PTO (just needs to get OK’d by team) + fully covered healthcare (most companies deduct a portion of healthcare premiums from your paycheck - we don’t - we cover it all).

- 5-10 years owning product execution working with design and engineering (mobile-first preferred)
- Desire and ability to push product fast is necessary. Our pace of iteration will determine our success.
- Incredibly detail-oriented
- Experience owning features end-to-end: discovery → scoping → spec → ship → measure
- Comfortable with data: you can pull your own metrics, run cohort analysis, and design experiments
- Experience with subscription, habit-forming, or health/fitness products is a strong plus
- Willingness to work with AI is a must
We are in-office Mon-Fri 8:45a-6pm (our office is on Abbot Kinney in Venice). No exceptions.
Compensation for this role is $130k-$220k depending on your fit and experience.
The product manager we hire is going to join an incredible and growing team.

This is hard work, but it's deeply rewarding.
