Afresh, the AI platform for grocery, began by tackling the most complex problem in the industry: fresh, and has evolved into the core AI platform for grocers.
By leveraging proprietary AI designed for high-volatility environments, we empower partners like Albertsons, Meijer, and Wakefern to drive smarter decisions across their entire enterprise.
Following record-breaking 70% revenue growth in 2025, we have scaled to 6 enterprise-grade solutions, with solutions live in over 10% of the U.S. grocery market. Our platform now orchestrates billions of decisions from the store floor to the distribution center and prevented over 200 million pounds of food waste last year alone.
If you're looking for a role where your work directly translates into massive scale and social good, and you want to be part of the team that defines how the world eats, there is no better time to join us.
As the Product Manager for Store Operations, you’ll own our next generation store-level solution. You'll own user and market research for this area, and you'll work with beta customers, early adopters, sales and marketing to take this product area to market. You'll work closely with product design, machine learning engineers, and mobile and full-stack engineers to create a holistic experience that works end to end. Your ownership, attention to detail, and your obsession with outcomes will lead to both short and long term rewards: every incremental bit of performance you deliver will directly result in less food waste.
