About Wonder

Everything’s on the menu at Wonder. Except compromise.

The Wonder app is the premiere platform to feed every craving, all in one order. Our 25+ award-winning restaurant partners span every cuisine you can think of, from Greek to Thai, and come from the minds of the best chefs in the industry—Bobby Flay, José Andrés, Marcus Samuelsson, and more.

And our diners don’t have to choose just one: they can mix and match dishes from as many Made by Wonder restaurants as they’d like, or order from neighborhood gems near them. Everything is made to order at our brick-and-mortar locations across the East Coast and delivered fast and free, and more locations are opening every week.

The best in the business are coming to Wonder, working every day to make us the destination for every mealtime moment. Join a team of technology, culinary, and logistics pioneers, backed by top-tier venture capitalists, and help us make great food more accessible.

About the Role

Wonder is looking for a high-impact Senior Product Manager (Technical) to own and evolve our store planning and simulation systems.

This role sits at the intersection of forecasting, simulation, and replenishment execution. You will own a core simulation tool that translates our demand forecast into DC-to-store replenishment decisions – modeling expiry, pack-size constraints, and operational realities. The output of this system feeds our inbound DC ordering.

This is a hybrid role designed for either:

  • A highly technical Product Manager comfortable building analytical POCs, or

  • A business-facing developer / applied scientist who wants product ownership

In this role, you will define how success is measured, establish baseline performance, and guide engineering implementation. You will own key operational metrics (in-stock & waste) that materially impact Wonder’s unit economics, as we evolve our planning systems to support rapid growth and IPO-scale operations.

This role reports to the Director, Forecasting & Planning (Product).

Key Responsibilities

Wonder’s planning systems are the backbone of our supply chain – driving outbound orders to our stores, and inbound orders to our DCs (from internal production and 3P vendors). Our planning pipeline consists of:

1) Store demand forecast

2) DC-to-store replenishment simulation (+ store ordering)

3) Vendor-to-DC ordering (3A: Wonder production + 3B: External 3P procurement)

You will have accountability one or more parts of this platform, with room to grow and increase responsibility.

Performance Measurement & Accountability

  • Own performance: Own & report on key operational metrics, e.g. planning-driven in-stock & waste – at business-relevant granularities

  • Establish a baseline: Build & maintain a naïve/baseline DC-level forecast or heuristic to quantify simulation performance (“how much value are we adding”?)

  • Analyze with an owner-mindset: Deep-dive/RCA system performance across stores and SKU groups (e.g. cold-start products) to inform development areas

Shape Technical Direction

  • Own the feature development lifecycle: Set the roadmap for your planning domain, and translate POC learnings into clear product & tech requirements

  • Design and build analytical POCs: Lean on your technical capability to test new logic, heuristics, or modeling approaches before tech implementation

  • Guide Engineering/DS team: Once POC performance has been proved – partner with tech colleagues to guide scalable, production-ready solutions

Cross-Functional Leadership

  • Communicate impact & insights: Explain system behavior, trade-offs, and results to technical and non-technical stakeholders (including ops leadership)

  • Cross-functional alignment Partner closely with Supply Chain Ops & Analytics to help teams understand planning logic, and ensure business decisions are informed by data-backed reality

The Experience You Have

  • 5-8+ years in Product Management , Applied Analytics, or Supply Chain development, with meaningful exposure to planning & replenishment systems

  • Experience operating in a business-facing role with accountability for operational results

  • Strong analytical instincts – ability to work with data and models (not just requirements) within a complex, technical domain

  • Strong understanding of forecasting & ordering logic, ideally in food/perishables or other constrained supply chains

  • Fluency with analytical tools (we use BigQuery, GCP + Looker) to evaluate performance at scale (note: strong SQL is a key requirement )

  • Comfort building POC models (SQL or Python-based) to evaluate performance, explore system behavior and validate ideas

The Way You Work

  • You have an ownership mindset and are comfortable being accountable for outcomes, not just delivery

  • You enjoy operating at the intersection of technology and business – either as a tech-forward PM or a business-forward builder – and can translate fluently between technical constraints and operational reality

  • You care about building products that deliver measurable business value – not just theoretical improvement

  • You bring structure to complex, ambiguous problems and turn them into testable hypotheses and clear decisions

  • You have a strong bias toward action, rapid learning, and continuous improvement
