How to Apply for Product Owner (PL)

at Chooose

🏢 About Chooose

Chooose is at the forefront of enabling the lower carbon fuel value chain, tackling one of the hardest challenges in climate tech: decarbonizing aviation. As a remote-first company with a mission-driven team, you'll have the opportunity to work on high-impact software that directly helps airlines and fuel producers reduce emissions.

About This Role

As a Product Owner, you'll own the vision and roadmap for a key domain within Chooose's platform, focusing on the aviation fuel market. Your work will directly shape how customers manage and report on sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) purchases, driving real-world carbon reductions. You'll work closely with a distributed team and leverage AI tools to rapidly prototype and deliver features.

💡 A Day in the Life

Your day might start with a standup with your distributed engineering team, followed by a customer call with an airline to understand their SAF reporting pain points. After lunch, you'd analyze usage data to prioritize the next sprint, then spend an hour prototyping a new dashboard feature using an AI tool like GPT-4. You'd end the day reviewing market research on upcoming regulations and updating the product roadmap.

🎯 Who Chooose Is Looking For

  • You have a technical or analytical degree and at least 4 years of enterprise product management experience, ideally in energy, sustainability, or supply chain.
  • You deeply understand the aviation fuel market—its stakeholders, regulations (e.g., CORSIA, RFS), and pain points—and can translate customer needs into product requirements.
  • You are hands-on with AI tools (e.g., LLMs, no-code prototyping) and have side projects or examples of using AI to accelerate product development.
  • You excel at balancing data-driven decisions with customer empathy, and you thrive in a fast-paced, remote startup environment.

📝 Tips for Applying to Chooose

1

Tailor your resume to highlight experience with enterprise SaaS products in regulated industries (energy, aviation, sustainability) and include specific metrics (e.g., 'Increased customer adoption by 30%').

2

In your cover letter, demonstrate your knowledge of the sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) market—mention key regulations like CORSIA or the EU's ReFuelEU Aviation.

3

Showcase your AI passion: include links to side projects, GitHub repos, or blog posts where you've built prototypes using LLMs or other AI tools.

4

Emphasize your ability to work with distributed teams—mention any experience with async communication, remote collaboration tools, or managing offshore engineers.

5

Prepare a 1-page product vision document for a feature you'd build for Chooose (e.g., a SAF certificate tracking dashboard) and attach it to your application.

✉️ What to Emphasize in Your Cover Letter

['Your passion for climate tech and specifically for decarbonizing aviation through software.', 'Your deep understanding of the aviation fuel market, including key stakeholders and regulatory drivers.', "Your hands-on experience with AI tools and how you've used them to accelerate product development.", 'Your track record of owning a product domain and driving high-velocity execution with a distributed team.']

🔍 Research Before Applying

To stand out, make sure you've researched:

  • Read Chooose's blog and case studies to understand their current product offerings and customer segments.
  • Research the sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) market: key players, regulations (CORSIA, ReFuelEU), and current challenges in book-and-claim systems.
  • Look at Chooose's recent job postings and LinkedIn to understand team structure and who you'd be working with.
  • Explore their competitors (e.g., SkyNRG, 360 Energy) to understand Chooose's unique value proposition.

💬 Prepare for These Interview Topics

Based on this role, you may be asked about:

1 Walk us through how you would define the product vision and roadmap for a domain like SAF certificate tracking.
2 Describe a time you used data to make a tough product decision, especially in a complex market like energy.
3 How would you prioritize features when you have conflicting customer needs from airlines and fuel producers?
4 Show us an AI prototype you've built. What problem did it solve and what did you learn?
5 How do you ensure effective collaboration with engineers and designers in a remote, distributed environment?

⚠️ Common Mistakes to Avoid

  • Don't submit a generic cover letter—failing to mention SAF or aviation shows lack of research.
  • Avoid downplaying your AI experience; even small side projects count—show your passion.
  • Don't focus only on features—this role is about owning a domain and strategy, not just writing user stories.
