Job description

Position Overview

This Full time on site position offers great opportunities for career growth. Note: Partly is headquartered in Austin, TX with offices in London, UK, Christchurch, NZ and Auckland, NZ. Wherever you're based, we'll connect you with your nearest office for onboarding, and fly you to join the full team for our quarterly "Season Openers" (we cover travel and accommodation). If you're relocating to join us, we can also assist with relocation costs. Our Story Partly is building the infrastructure for anyone to repair anything. We believe everything built should be repairable, and we're building frontier AI to put repair knowledge to work, starting with the $2tn automotive market. Our model, Interpreter, is the first AI purpose-built to understand repair. Trained on 1M+ car models and 1B+ parts, it reads a repair job the way an estimator does, resolves damage into the exact purchasable part, and shows its reasoning with a confidence score. On real production jobs, an estimator working with Interpreter reaches 98.8% parts-list accuracy, against 92.1% with today's tools. It powers PartlyRepair, used by collision shops, workshops and suppliers to take the admin off the job; PartlyLabs, the agentic infrastructure enterprises use to deploy Interpreter across their own workflows; and a developer API. Founded by ex-Rocket Lab engineers, we've raised a $50m Series B led by DST Global (Anthropic, Airbnb, Meta, TikTok, Spotify), with Blackbird Ventures, WNDR, Activant Capital, Icehouse Ventures, Square Peg, Airtree and Ecliptic Venture Capital. Hear it from the team: Why Partly exists and AI at Partly.

Role Profile

As Partly’s Network Manager, NZ Supply and Solutions, you’ll be the hands‑on operator behind our New Zealand supply network. You’ll be the single point of accountability for selection, live inventory, and supplier performance across the platform. Your mission: make sure repairers can find the part they need, see accurate availability, and trust the supplier on the other side. More than this, we want to maximise choice across supplier channels and cost. You’ll do that by getting deep in the data, building tight feedback loops with suppliers, and partnering with Product and Engineering to turn insight into action. This isn’t a back‑office supply chain role, and it isn’t purely strategy. It’s a commercial, analytical and operational role for someone energised by the detail: running the numbers, pulling the levers, and being the person who knows the network better than anyone else in the building.

Key Responsibilities

• Drive selection, availability and supplier performance
• Own the day‑to‑day health of the supply network: selection breadth, live inventory accuracy, and fulfilment reliability.
• Use Partly’s supplier performance features and data to identify where each supplier is under‑performing, and build the playbook to address it.
• Set the priorities: where to add coverage, where to expand integrations, where to push for better pricing and which suppliers to recruit.
• Lead with data, hands‑on Live in the dashboards. Build new ones where they don’t exist. Produce the insights that inform supplier conversations, internal trade‑offs, and roadmap prioritisation, both internal (for leadership and Product) and external (for suppliers themselves).
• Turn signals into action: spot a coverage gap, an availability dip, or a slipping supplier, and drive the response.
• Be the supplier advocate Synthesise supplier needs, pain points, and feedback into a clear point of view that lands internally.
• Represent suppliers in product, engineering, and operational decisions, making sure their reality shapes what we build and how we operate.
• Build trust through consistency: be the person suppliers know, call, and rely on.
• Partner cross‑functionally Work closely with Sales (to prioritise new supplier acquisition), Solutions Engineering (to scope live inventory integrations), Customer Success (to drive supplier engagement on the Partly experience), and Account Management (for repairer‑side signal).
• Visit suppliers onsite when it matters. Real relationships still get built in workshops and yards.

Candidate Profile

• Analytical and commercial: You think in numbers and trade‑offs. You can build a model, defend a recommendation, and translate data into a commercial outcome.
• Hands‑on operator: Comfortable in the weeds. You pull the data yourself, write the SQL or the pivot, run the supplier review, and fix the issue. You don’t wait for someone else to produce the dashboard.
• Strong communicator and influencer: You can sit with a supplier, a Product Manager, and a senior leader in the same week and earn credibility with each. Calm, clear, well‑prepared.
• Customer empathy, supply‑side: You take the time to understand suppliers’ businesses (how they make money, what frustrates them, what they need from us) and translate that into clear internal advocacy.
• Ownership mindset: Proactive, decisive, and comfortable operating with autonomy in a fast‑paced, high‑growth environment. You don’t wait to be told.
• Tech‑savvy: Fluent with the tools that move the work (BI/analytics, CRMs, integration concepts). You can hold a credible conversation with engineering when you need to.
• Bonus: Exposure to marketplaces, supplier networks, automotive parts, or B2B SaaS where the supply side matters. Not required; sharp generalists welcome.

Many folks, especially those from underrepresented or marginalised groups, often count themselves out. Please allow us to learn more about you and why you're exceptional!
