At Aquablu we’re disrupting the marketplace with a revolutionary (flavored) water system. Brought to life in 2018, our founders Marnix and Marc promised a healthy but tasty alternative to soft drinks. Today, our water is tapped in almost 16 countries. And we continue to make waves by teaming up with industry leaders like Heineken, Adyen and Marriott Hotels. Join us in our mission to save one billion plastic bottles by 2030! “That might sound really ambitious, but our team is part of an inspiring movement in an industry that’s thirsty for change.” - Marc, Co-founder of Aquablu
Our team in Amsterdam is hiring a Product Manager (Flavour & Formulations)👇
About the role
The flavour and formulation portfolio is the heart of what Aquablu puts in people's hands. We're building an adaptive hydration brand that sits at the intersection of food science, functional wellness, and consumer taste, and we need someone to own that fully: the strategy, the science, the suppliers, and ultimately the launches.
You'll define what goes in our products, why it goes in, and how we bring it to market. You'll work with world-class formulators, ingredient innovators, and clinical experts and you'll be the person in the room who makes the final call. One day you're deep in dosing strategy with a nutrition scientist; the next you're tasting fifteen iterations of a new boost and deciding which one ships.
If you're passionate about the future of functional beverages and want real creative and commercial ownership: this is the role for you.
This role reports into the Head of Physical Product and is part of Aquablu's Physical Product team.
