Scotch is building the next-generation operating system for beverage alcohol retailers — combining POS, payments, back office, and e-commerce into a platform purpose-built for liquor stores. We’re modernizing one of the oldest industries in the world: the $1.6T beverage alcohol market. Our platform helps retailers run more efficiently through streamlined payments, inventory management, reporting, and day-to-day operations.
Our founders came from Skupos (acquired 2023) and Drizly (acquired by Uber). Forbes has recognized Scotch as a leader in liquor retail tech. We’re looking for a Product Manager to own the in-store experience at Scotch — the Android point-of-sale terminal our merchants use to ring up every sale.
It’s the part of our product customers touch every day, and it’s where we’re most visibly right or wrong. You’ll own the terminal end-to-end: spending time in stores watching people use it, setting direction for what we build, and working with engineering to ship it. You’ll be the person who knows how the device actually behaves in a busy store on a Friday night, not just how it behaves in a demo.
You won’t be setting strategy alone — but you’ll have a real hand in shaping it, and the closest view of the customer of anyone in the room. Shape the direction for the register experience with us, turn it into a sequence of releases, and defend the tradeoffs to people who’d rather ship something else. Prioritize across merchant escalations, platform work, and the long‑horizon bets that never feel urgent.
Write requirements that describe the problem and the outcome, not the implementation.
Make sure the app holds up in a real store: the peripherals it talks to, the network it doesn’t always have,
and the pace it has to keep up with. Decide what ships and what waits, how it rolls out, and who needs to know before it lands. Serve as the product point of contact for support, onboarding, and go‑to‑market on anything happening at the register.
That includes writing the release notes that keep those teams ahead of what’s shipping, and eventually getting them in front of merchants too. That means setting a release cadence, rolling changes out to devices already in use, and deciding what to do when a version in the field is broken. Our app deploys to managed devices, not through an app store, so fleet or MDM experience matters more here than consumer app publishing.
A track record of being the only person accountable for a decision, with no one reviewing your work before it shipped. A consistent habit of direct customer contact. In this role, that happens in person at merchants’ stores, not over video calls.
Experience with hardware, peripherals, or devices deployed in the field — printers, scanners, card readers, or anything that fails in ways software alone doesn’t Products built for environments where the user is busy, interrupted, and has a customer waiting Payments experience — tender types, reconciliation, or dual pricing Individual offers are based on a variety of factors, including experience, skills, qualifications, and internal equity. Competitive equity package Comprehensive medical, dental, and vision coverage Unlimited adaptable PTO You’d be the product owner for the register, the part of Scotch merchants use every day, and your decisions would ship without layers of review. Beverage alcohol retailers have been stuck with generic or outdated POS systems.
