at Chooose

🏢 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. You’ll then dive into customer calls or analyze usage data to refine the roadmap, followed by rapid prototyping of a new feature using AI tools. Afternoons are for stakeholder alignment and drafting PRDs that balance technical feasibility with market impact.

🎯 Who Chooose Is Looking For

  • A product leader with 4+ years in enterprise SaaS who thrives on customer empathy and design thinking, especially in complex B2B markets.
  • A builder at heart—you prototype with AI tools like Cursor and stay current on LLM concepts (prompt engineering, RAG, etc.).
  • Deeply analytical (CS, Engineering, Math, Physics background) yet comfortable with ambiguity and rapid iteration.
  • Passionate about climate tech and the aviation fuel market, with a bias toward action and distributed team collaboration.

📝 Tips for Applying to Chooose

1

Showcase a side project or prototype where you used AI/LLMs to solve a real problem—link to it in your resume or cover letter.

2

Tailor your resume to highlight enterprise product experience, especially in energy, logistics, or regulated industries.

3

Quantify your impact: e.g., 'Led roadmap that increased customer adoption by 30%' or 'Reduced time-to-market by 20% via rapid prototyping.'

4

Demonstrate domain knowledge: mention specific challenges in sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) or carbon markets.

5

Emphasize remote collaboration: provide examples of leading distributed engineering and design teams effectively.

✉️ What to Emphasize in Your Cover Letter
