  • Generate actionable insights and recommendations by integrating sensory data, product knowledge, technical understanding, and business context.
  • Influence product design, optimization, and troubleshooting decisions by helping teams understand the sensory and experiential drivers of product performance and preference.
  • Communicate findings clearly and persuasively to technical and non-technical stakeholders, tailoring recommendations to drive alignment and action.
  • Partner closely with the Pet Technology Team to ensure holistic product guidance from both pet and pet parent perspectives.
  • Build foundational knowledge of key pet feeding and treating product spaces, including relevant product forms, formats, textures, aromas, palatability-related cues, and usage occasions.
  • Build and strengthen external partnerships to strengthen foundational knowledge in pet feeding and treating.
  • Champion the product and pet parent voice to ensure products deliver on the intended experience, functionality, and preference.
  • Prioritize projects against available resources and business needs, ensuring the highest-value work is resourced and executed with excellence.
  • Identify capability gaps and bring forward new tools, methods, and ways of working to improve the speed, quality, and impact of PGI learning.
  • Contribute to a strong team culture by modeling collaboration, curiosity, technical rigor, and a continuous learning mindset.

MINIMUM QUALIFICATIONS:

  • 7+ years of relevant pet experience in sensory science, consumer product research, product guidance, or related technical roles.
  • Experience applying sensory science to product development, optimization, quality, and pet parent guidance within complex product systems.
  • Experience developing and executing robust learning plans with appropriate rigor to risk in partnership with cross-functional business and technical teams.
  • Strong understanding of experimental design, statistical analysis, and interpretation of sensory and consumer data.
  • Proven ability to connect technical product knowledge with consumer or user experience to inform product design decisions.
  • Strong interpersonal, communication, collaboration, and influence skills.
    Ability to manage multiple priorities and work effectively in a matrixed organization.
