Our technology uses the sophistication of online retail-profit measurement, attribution, and incrementality-to provide users with more value on their everyday purchases and brick-and-mortar businesses with new, profitable customers. We’ve helped millions of users earn 2 to 3 times more cashback than any other product, and hundreds of thousands of brick-and-mortar businesses earn measurable profit. Billions of dollars in commerce run through the Upside platform every year, and that value goes directly back to our retailer partners, the consumers they serve, and important sustainability initiatives.\nThe Impact You'll Make\nUpside has established itself in fuel and scaled into grocery. Restaurant is the vertical with the most headroom and the least built - and this role owns it. As the Product Manager for the restaurant vertical, you'll operate like an entrepreneur inside a company that already has distribution, data, and a proven measurement engine: you decide which restaurant segments to win, what the wedge product is, and how the economics have to work for a restaurant operator to see real, provable profit. That means adapting Upside's core incrementality system to restaurant behavior, shaping the offer optimization models that price every promotion, and building the merchant-facing product that turns measured profit into a partner who renews and expands. Few PM roles come with this much ownership over a real business.\nWhat You'll Do\nOwn the strategy and roadmap for Upside's restaurant vertical on the merchant side - segment prioritization, feature requirements, and the path to scale.\n\nAdapt Upside's core incrementality and measurement system to restaurant economics, where visit cadence, ticket size, margin structure, and promotion sensitivity all behave differently than fuel or grocery.\n\nPartner with data science on restaurant offer optimization - pressure-testing model assumptions, surfacing limitations, and translating model behavior into terms a restaurant operator understands and trusts.\n\nDrive transaction and profit growth for restaurant partners, and own the metrics that prove it.\n\nBuild the merchant-facing product experience that demonstrates value: measurement, reporting, onboarding, and the tools account teams use to make the case.\n\nPartner with sales and account management to drive adoption and retention within restaurants, and act as the voice of the restaurant vertical in company-level forums.\n\nMake build-vs-buy-vs-integrate calls on the POS, payments, and data integrations the vertical depends on.\n\nSet and drive OKRs for the vertical, and lead cross-functionally - engineering, data science, design, sales, accounts, and marketing - without direct authority.\n\nCompetencies You'll Need\n6+ years of product management experience, including B2B or merchant-facing products in retail, restaurant technology, payments, or ecommerce.\n\nDemonstrated 0-to-1 ownership: has built a product line or business area from early stage rather than optimizing a mature one.\n\nStrong command of unit economics and measurement - incrementality, attribution, margin math - and the ability to defend a methodology to a skeptical partner.\n\nHands-on experience working with data science or ML teams on models that drive pricing, offer, or targeting decisions.\n\nAble to synthesize granular technical and quantitative detail into clear narratives for very different audiences, from an ML engineer to an independent restaurant owner.\n\nExceptional influencing skills; builds deep trust with sales and account teams whose buy-in the vertical depends on.\n\nStrong user empathy for small and mid-sized business operators, and the judgment to know which of their requests to build and which to decline.\n\nThrives in ambiguity with a metrics-and-experimentation-driven approach to decisions.\n\nLocation:\nThis hybrid role is based in our Austin, Chicago, DC, or NYC office. In-office attendance is required on Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday, and may increase based on project-based needs and changes to Upside’s in-office policy over time.\nCompensation:\nThe U.S. base salary range for this full-time position varies by work location:\nTier 1: NYC $193,000 - $220,000\n\nTier 2: Austin, Chicago, Washington, DC $175,000 - $200,000\n\nIn addition to base salary, this position is also eligible for equity and benefits.\nThe final starting pay will be determined based on job-related skills, experience, qualifications, work location, and market conditions. Your recruiter can share more about the specific salary range for your location during the hiring process.\n#LI-Hybrid\n#LI-KF1\nBenefits:\nMedical, dental, and vision coverage starting on Day 1\n\nEquity (ISOs)\n\n401(k) program\n\nFamily planning programs + paid parental leave\n\nPhysical fitness and wellness memberships\n\nEmotional and mental health support programs\n\nUnlimited PTO + 10 paid federal holidays + our annual, week-long Winter Break\n\nFlexible work environment\n\nLunch reimbursement for in-office employees\n\nEmployee Resource Groups\n\nLearning and Development stipend\n\nTransparent culture\n\nAmazing mission!\n\nDiversity and Inclusion:\nDiversity drives innovation, and our differences make us stronger.
