Director of Product - Beverages
Job Description
Bevi is on a mission to transform the beverage industry by eliminating single-use bottles and replacing them with smart, on-demand machines that deliver customizable still, sparkling, and functional drinks. As the market leader in IoT-enabled beverage technology, we’ve raised over $160M in venture capital and continue to scale rapidly while investing heavily in innovation and sustainability.
Now, we’re doubling down on a beverage-first future—one where unforgettable flavors, functional ingredients, and user joy take center stage. We’re looking for a visionary, commercially-minded leader to shape the next era of Bevi’s beverage platform. You’ll own the beverage business from strategy to shelf (or spout), bringing bold new ideas to life and scaling them across markets. If you thrive at the intersection of product, brand, and business—and love building what’s next—this is your opportunity to define the future of how people drink water.
As the Director of Product - Beverages at Bevi, you will serve as the business and product owner for our beverage platform, driving cross-functional strategy, execution, and innovation. You will own the full beverage portfolio and lifecycle, from white-space identification through launch, scale, and optimization. This is a highly visible, entrepreneurial role requiring strong strategic thinking, cross-functional leadership, and commercial acumen
