About the team You'll join ZOE's Product team, which sets product direction across the company. This is not a feature-delivery role - PMs at ZOE are expected to think strategically, make decisions, and own outcomes. You'll define problems, make trade-offs, and work closely with partners across Engineering, Design, Data Science, and Nutrition Science. Reporting directly to the Chief Product Officer, you'll work with Product leadership to build and scale an app designed to improve the health of millions. As part of the centralised Product team, you'll help drive a consistent experience across the ZOE ecosystem and ship products grounded in science and real user impact. About the role & impact As the Product Manager for our E-commerce Platform, you will own the technical foundation that powers how people discover, evaluate, and purchase ZOE. This role is about building the right platform for growth: scalable, reliable, and designed for rapid experimentation. You'll ensure teams can move fast, test ideas, and learn what truly helps users get started on their health journey. You are the gateway into ZOE. The choices you make determine how easily people can access our science and begin improving their health. You'll work closely with Engineering, Design, Data, and Science partners to translate complex health and microbiome concepts into a clear, trustworthy experience, without compromising scientific integrity. You'll define platform capabilities, set standards for experimentation and measurement, and make trade-offs that balance speed, quality, and long term scalability. When you succeed, more people reach the science and health they deserve, and ZOE has a platform built to grow with them. What you will do Lead the strategy for our web storefront and checkout flows, turning complex biological testing concepts into a frictionless, high converting experience. Collaborate with our world class scientists to translate Gut Microbiome, Blood Sugar, and Blood Fat insights into a compelling commercial narrative. Optimise the transition from a one time kit purchase to a long term health membership, balancing immediate revenue with Life Time Value (LTV). Use data (e.g. Mixpanel) to identify friction. You don't just report data; you provide the "so what" that changes our trajectory. You will lead by example in discovery, documentation (PRDs), and data led decision making. Serve as a strategic partner to Engineering, Branding and Commercial ensuring the e commerce roadmap is aligned with broader company milestones. Who you are 5+ years in Product Management, ideally within E commerce or Growth. Familiarity with modern commerce stacks (Shopify, Headless CMS, or custom built checkout engines). You don't wait for a roadmap; you build it. You thrive in fast paced environments where you need to manage multiple high stakes stakeholders simultaneously. You can explain a complex technical trade off to a non technical founder just as easily as you can discuss API architecture with an engineer. You have a track record of mentoring others. You take pride in seeing your mentees succeed and are skilled at giving constructive, high tension feedback. Our Hiring Process We value your time and aim for a transparent, efficient experience. Our process is designed to evaluate your strategic thinking, technical commerce expertise, and alignment with our mission to improve global health. Talent Acquisition Screen (30 min). We'll dive into your background, your career motivations, and your initial "why" for joining ZOE. Hiring Manager Deep Dive (30 min). This is a high level technical and strategic conversation covering your experience scaling e commerce platforms and your approach to product ownership. The Remote Loop. We don't do back to back marathon interviews. Instead, we schedule these three sessions over a window of 10 working days to give you space to be at your best. Case Study & Deep Dive (60 min): You will receive a brief e commerce challenge (intended to take 4 hours) focusing on a ZOE specific product problem. You'll present your strategy followed by a technical and UX deep dive with a panel of interviewers. Cross Functional Partnership (45 min): You'll meet your future partners. We'll explore how you translate complex biological data into a commercial narrative and how you manage high stakes stakeholder trade offs. Leadership & Values (45 min): A final session with our CPO and CEO. This is about "Founder Mentality", discussing long term vision, ethical health tech dilemmas, and your track record of mentoring and elevating those around you. Ready to thrive? We want to hear from you The experience, skills, and attributes we've outlined are what we believe will help someone truly thrive in this role. However, we understand that talent comes in many forms. If you are genuinely excited about ZOE's mission and this opportunity, please don't hesitate to apply-even if you don't meet every single requirement listed. We fundamentally value potential and commitment above all else. We are dedicated to fostering growth and providing opportunities for you to learn and develop alongside us.

We're growing fast on our mission to be the employer of choice in hospitality, everywhere we operate - so this an exciting time to hop on board. We Believe in Growing Good Things Growth is at the heart of everything we do. From the freshly hand made food we create every day, to supporting our teams, we help our people grow in confidence, skills and to pursue their unique paths. Pret is where passionate, hardworking, wonderful people (like you!) find what they need to shine. And the proof is in the pudding - over 80% of our Managers started on the shop floor! So did 20% of our Support Centre teams, including our CEO, Pano. What we're looking for We're looking for passionate team players to bring joy to our customers every day-starting with the teams that serve them. As Senior HR BP, reporting to the UK & International People Director, you'll be a key voice on the UK and International People Senior Leadership Team, shaping how we drive operational excellence through our people. Your mission? To make sure every Operations team has the right people, in the right roles, at the right time-with clear succession plans, strong bench strength, and "aces in places." You'll align our HR strategy with operational goals, helping our shops deliver exceptional results while building a culture grounded in well-being, equity, and consistent, high-integrity employee relations. You'll lead and coach two Business Partners, each responsible for ER, People Policies, DEB, and Well being across multiple regions. Together, you'll embed best in class people practices, strengthen leadership capability, and ensure our workforce is engaged, supported, and set up to thrive. Key Responsibilities Drive Operational performance through a People lens Partner with Operations Directors and Managers to optimise succession in our shops-maintaining a clear, simple view of "ready now/ready soon" talent from Leader AM GM, including cross training needs and development actions.

Implement a coaching first performance framework, setting clear standards, enabling regular check ins, and building feedback and recognition into daily routines. Run practical, high impact manager training focused on coaching, feedback, ER fundamentals, and inclusive leadership-delivered in bite sized, on the job formats.

Monitor, analyse, and report on key people KPIs (turnover, absenteeism, performance, engagement, etc.), identifying trends and driving root cause solutions. Design and embed people interventions-from training and recognition to feedback loops-that enhance operational efficiency, service quality, and customer satisfaction. Lead and develop your team (2 People Business Partners) Set priorities, coach, and develop both PBPs; ensure regional coverage is aligned to trading patterns and risk. Create a joined up playbook where ER/Policy and DEB/Wellbeing reinforce each other (e.g., inclusive scheduling reduces ER risk). Build future bench (succession) for People Partner roles; champion psychological safety and continuous learning. ER & Policy (oversight and escalation) Ensure policies are clear, accessible, inclusive, and compliant with UK employment law and the ACAS Code. Oversee complex cases (grievance, discipline, capability, discrimination, whistleblowing); coach managers to resolve early and fairly. Maintain consistent practice on right to work, National Minimum/Living Wage, holiday pay, Working Time Regulations, under 18 protections, data privacy (GDPR), and safe scheduling. Lead policy updates for legislation or operational change (e.g., acquisitions/TUPE, restructures). DEB & Wellbeing (strategy to shop floor) Deliver a DEB roadmap focused on practical behaviours: inclusive leadership, fair access to hours & development, etc. Expand wellbeing: MHFA network, manager confidence in conversations, signposting, crisis support; measure usage and impact.

Strategic & Continuous Improvement Forecast people related risks & opportunities in operations and help shape strategic planning accordingly.
