Product Manager - Verification Platform

At Running Tide, we build technologies that allow us to harness the power of the ocean to build a climate positive future. Oceans represent two-thirds of the Earth’s surface and have an understated role to play in the future of our life on Earth. Once abundant marine ecosystems and thriving coastal communities are now suffering due to pollution, ocean acidification and declining water quality. At Running Tide, we have experienced this firsthand, and we know the problem won't solve itself. That’s why we are building technologies to accelerate, scale and optimize the naturally restorative benefits of shellfish and kelp in the ocean. 

Our technologies enable us to rebuild food systems that are zero carbon and provide positive ecosystem services. Our shellfish production is mostly automated, entirely data-driven, and takes up a only a fraction of the space as traditional shellfish operations. Shellfish are the optimal protein for a growing population because they are delicious, healthy, and climate positive.

We are also building the most efficient carbon removal system in the world. Kelp is a macroalgae that absorbs CO2 from the water as it grows. Using ocean currents and gravity we sink the kelp and its embodied carbon to the deep ocean where it remains for thousands of years. Our technologies enable us to reduce the cost, predict outcomes, and massively scale carbon removal. 

Using our technologies and production capabilities of our shellfish and kelp hatcheries, we also restore Blue Carbon habitats in coastal ecosystems. Our coastal shellfish reefs, kelp forests and seagrass meadows are engines for biodiversity and job creation, however these ecosystems are severely degraded all over the world. These ecosystems drive direct economic value to coastal communities and protect our coasts from storms and erosion. Only active restoration efforts will bring these systems back into balance, giving future generations the opportunity to benefit from the ocean's bounty.

The ocean is critical to human and planetary health —but ocean health is in rapid and accelerating decline. We believe that we have the responsibility —and ability —to act.

Running Tide is a global ocean health company. Our fast-growing, multidisciplinary teams of world-class scientists, engineers, and maritime operators, design and implement interventions that rebalance Earth’s carbon cycle, decarbonize global supply chains, restore marine ecosystems, and revitalize coastal communities. Our corporate operations, business development, communications, and policy teams support Running Tide’s front-line workers in scaling our interventions to tackle humanity’s most urgent challenges: restoring ocean health and combating climate change.

As the first Product Manager at Running Tide, you will own the end-to-end lifecycle of the product from conceptualization, validation with partners and customers, defining and managing the API, UX, and UI based features for our Verification Platform, and ultimately overseeing its launch in partnership with our commercial and R&D teams. 

The Verification Platform allows our customers and partners to access our verification approach - and the associated models and records - behind each intervention. In this role, you will be responsible for working across our software, ocean modeling, substrate development, macroalgae, and hardware teams to develop these methodologies and demonstrate the work driving each credit, receiving and providing inputs as needed during various stages of the product development lifecycle. You will focus on delivering scalable, reliable, and efficient user experiences that provide assurance of the net positive impact of our interventions. You will play a key role in building credibility around carbon removal and ecosystem restoration.

You will be part of the Product team which sits at the core of our organization and is tasked with building the infrastructure behind Running Tide’s interventions, credit quantification, and credit delivery. This role reports to the VP of Product and is a remote-first role with travel to Running Tide’s offices and customer locations.
