🏢 About Chooose
Chooose is a mission-driven climate tech startup building software to streamline the lower carbon fuel value chain, with a sharp focus on aviation. You’ll work at the intersection of sustainability and technology, driving real-world impact in an industry undergoing rapid transformation.
About This Role
As Senior Product Manager, you’ll own the vision and execution for a core product domain, directly shaping how airlines and fuel producers adopt lower-carbon solutions. Your work will accelerate the energy transition by delivering data-driven, customer-centric products that scale.
💡 A Day in the Life
Your day starts with a standup with your distributed engineering and design team, reviewing sprint progress and unblocking issues.

Afternoons are for stakeholder alignment and drafting PRDs that balance technical feasibility with market impact.
