Director, Product Management - Head of Cal AI

At MyFitnessPal, we believe good health starts with what you eat. We provide tools, resources and support to enable users to reach their health goals.

As Head of Cal AI, you will be responsible for an important growth area. You will operate as the owner of the business – defining strategy, roadmap, and outcomes. Reporting to our Chief Product Officer, you will take a product with strong traction and scale it to meaningful, durable growth.

The Opportunity

MyFitnessPal is expanding beyond its flagship app into a portfolio of complementary products. This Director will lead one of those bets — an app with early traction and strong signal — and own the strategy, team, and roadmap to grow it from initial traction to meaningful scale, reaching millions of users who want to improve their health through better food choices. This role is an individual contributor today, with the expectation that it may grow into a people leadership role in the future.

What you’ll be doing:

Own and evolve the product strategy and roadmap for Cal AI, an early-stage app within the MyFitnessPal portfolio, aligning squad-level work to company objectives and customer outcomes

Champion a culture of continuous discovery — using qualitative and quantitative methods to ensure squads are building the right things, not just building things right

Drive alignment across product, engineering, design, data science, and go-to-market functions, unblocking decisions and creating clarity when data conflicts or stakeholders disagree

Set the bar for how strategy, goals, and priorities are communicated — to your squads, to the broader product development organization, and to senior leadership

Be accountable for the performance of the Cal AI business, holding yourself and your teams to measurable outcomes

Contribute to the evolution of MyFitnessPal’s product operating model — sharing what works, identifying risks, and continuously raising the bar for how the org discovers and delivers

Qualifications to be successful in this role:  

10+ years in product leadership, with demonstrated success leading high-velocity teams that have measurable impact on customers and the business

Demonstrated success leading multiple squads or a product area with measurable impact on customers and the business

Track record scaling an early-stage product – maximizing market penetration and revenue after initial product-market fit

Operator's mindset: decisive with incomplete information, a ruthless prioritizer with a strong bias to action, a consistent record of shipping successful products, ability to balance short-term momentum with long-term vision

Founder mentality: you treat the business as your own and connect user problems to business outcomes

Proven ability to set and communicate strategy in a way that motivates teams and creates alignment, even in ambiguous or contested situations

Strong bias to action: you make decisions quickly using a variety of inputs and know how to balance short-term momentum with long-term vision

Experience with A/B testing, experimentation frameworks, and data-informed iteration at scale

Experience leading consumer-facing product development for native iOS and Android apps

Excellent written, verbal, and visual communication skills — you can tailor your message for a squad standup or a board slide

Values you’ll model

Be Kind and Care — build with empathy; assume positive intent; support teammates and members.

Live Good Health — champion healthy habits and balance in how we work and what we ship.

Be Data-Inspired — ground decisions in research and data; measure what matters.

Champion Change — lean into ambiguity; iterate, learn, and improve continuously.

Leave it Better than You Found It — raise quality, clarify systems, and document as you go.

Make It Happen — bias to action; deliver impact with craft and accountability.
