Job description

The simple task of buying software, services, or tools at work has become hopelessly complicated at even the most innovative companies in the world. Today, enterprises spend $120T+ per year globally (>30 times larger than annual consumer e-commerce spend) and rely on vendors more than ever before to run their businesses.

Within the last 4 years, Zip has created a new category and developed the leading solution in this $50B+ TAM space. Today, the world’s leading companies like OpenAI, Snowflake, Anthropic, Coinbase, and Prudential rely on Zip to manage billions of dollars in spend.

We have a world-class team coming from category-defining companies like Airbnb, Meta, Stripe, Salesforce, Apple, and Google. With a $2.2 billion valuation and $370 million in funding from Y Combinator, Tiger Global, BOND, DST Global, and CRV, we’re focused on developing cutting-edge technology, expanding into new global markets, and—above all–driving incredible value for our customers. Join us!

Your Role

We are looking for a Field Product Manager to bridge our product roadmap and GTM execution. This is a strategic, customer-facing product role designed for someone with strong ERP (Workday, Oracle, SAP, Netsuite, etc.) domain knowledge, a product mindset, and the ability to identify patterns across complex enterprise use cases. You will help shape Zip’s product vision for procurement-centric workflows, support strategic deals, and drive adoption of scalable, repeatable solutions aligned with our long-term roadmap.

You Will

• Act as a domain expert embedded in the Product team, owning strategy across ERP-related use cases and systems (e.g., SAP, Oracle, Workday, NetSuite, Coupa).
• Join complex and strategic enterprise sales cycles to guide product-aligned positioning and steer customers toward scalable, roadmap-aligned use cases.
• Drive discovery and pattern recognition across key verticals (e.g., FinServ, Pharma, Retail, CPG, Manufacturing) where ERP or procurement systems play a central role.
• Translate customer and prospect needs into structured product requirements and collaborate closely with Product Managers to shape roadmap decisions.
• Codify field insights into strategy memos, use case frameworks, and product direction.
• Contribute to GTM enablement materials, competitive positioning, and internal training on ERP-related capabilities and integration patterns.

Qualifications

• 10+ years of experience in solutions consulting, pre-sales, product strategy, or strategy consulting, particularly in ERP, P2P, or procurement domains
• 2+ years of experience in product management or a field-facing product role
• Strong communication skills, with the ability to synthesize field feedback and influence product strategy across cross-functional teams
• Comfortable engaging with both technical audiences (e.g., enterprise architects, integration engineers) and business stakeholders (e.g., procurement or finance leaders)
• Not necessarily deeply technical, but confident discussing integration architecture, ERP constructs, and basic API concepts

Nice to have

• Exposure to integration platforms or middleware tools (e.g., Boomi, MuleSoft, Workato)
• Knowledge of industry-specific procurement challenges in verticals such as life sciences, financial services, or manufacturing
