How to Apply for Junior Product Manager - FAI Insite and Application

at FAI Farms

🏢 About FAI Farms

FAI Farms stands out as a mission-driven consultancy focused on transforming animal-based food systems through practical solutions. Unlike generic tech companies, they combine agricultural expertise with software development to create tools that directly improve animal welfare and supply chain sustainability. Working here offers the chance to contribute to meaningful environmental and ethical impact while developing technology solutions.

About This Role

This Junior Product Manager role specifically supports FAI's Insite software applications, which are assessment, reporting, and data collection tools used by food companies globally. You'll be translating real-world agricultural needs into software specifications and working directly with developers to implement solutions that help clients improve animal health and welfare. Your work will directly contribute to making livestock and aquaculture supply chains more transparent and sustainable.

💡 A Day in the Life

A typical day might involve reviewing user feedback from Insite tool users (farmers or supply chain managers), creating wireframes for new assessment features, and meeting with developers to clarify requirements for upcoming sprints. You could spend time documenting user workflows for animal welfare data collection or preparing training materials for clients implementing FAI's reporting tools across their operations.
