Consumer Goods Product Manager

About Us:

Be Fit Balance is the consumer health and nutrition brand under Be Fit For Life, a fast-growing nutraceuticals and fitness group headquartered in Bangkok, Thailand. Our flagship product, Plant X — a triple plant-protein blend designed — is sold D2C through online and offline platform, powered by the Be Fit with Jess influencer brand. We are now scaling from supplement powder into a full consumer goods range: protein bars, RTD drinks, functional snacks, and high-protein convenience foods.

This is a ground-floor opportunity to build a product line from scratch in one of Southeast Asia's fastest-growing nutrition markets.

We are looking for an experienced Consumer Goods Product Manager to own the development, launch, and commercial success of Be Fit Balance's expanding high-protein product range. You will work directly under Head of Business Unit and sit at the intersection of product development, marketing, and retail distribution. You will be the person who takes our ideas from a spreadsheet to a shelf — and from a shelf to a TikTok trend.
