About Us:

At Cuisinart, you’ll join a brand known for design leadership, quality craftsmanship, and a relentless pursuit of innovation. From category-defining icons to the next wave of smart, sustainable, and lifestyle-driven solutions – we’re passionate about creating products that bring joy, creativity, and culinary confidence into people’s homes.

We believe great design begins with curiosity — and we’re looking for bold thinkers who are excited to shape the future of how people live, cook, and connect.

• Partner with cross‑functional teams (Advanced Concepts, Design, Engineering, Sourcing, Marketing) to ensure timely and flawless execution.
• Support product testing, validation, and sustainability initiatives to ensure long‑term consumer trust and brand equity.

Go‑to‑Market & Story Amplification

• Collaborate with marketing, creative, and sales to bring the product story to life across channels — from packaging and content to retailer storytelling and digital activation.
• Ensure every touchpoint reflects the emotional benefit, usability, and value of the product.
• Lead go‑to‑market readiness, including sell‑in materials, launch plans, and training for internal and external partners.

Portfolio Stewardship & Optimization

• Champion the pursuit of 5‑star consumer satisfaction — continuously improving usability and delight.

• A positive, entrepreneurial mindset and a deep curiosity about consumers, culture, and emerging trends.
