Job description

About Doss

DOSS is building an Operations Cloud for the real world.

A modern, AI-native platform for physical product businesses to manage the flow of goods, dollars, and data in real time, across:

• Procurement
• Inventory
• Orders
• Fulfillment
• Finance

Built to replace spreadsheet chaos and rigid, consultant-heavy ERPs. Fast time-to-value, adaptable as the business evolves.

Through our Adaptive Resource Platform (ARP) and unified operational data model, teams deploy quickly, automate workflows, and make changes without months of re-implementation.

We recently raised a $55M Series B, co-led by Madrona and Premji Invest. Participation from Intuit Ventures, Theory Ventures, General Catalyst, Contrary Capital, and Pathlight VC.

DOSS is trusted by fast-growing operators to run critical operations with speed, control, and confidence.

About the Role

The Customer Product Operations team is the core engine of DOSS and the success of our customers. This unique role sits at the intersection of product, data, operations, implementation and customer partnership. The team is responsible for the entire post-sales product operations and implementation lifecycle

• Discovery: partnering with cross functional client leadership to analyze their operational and financial workflows (flow of goods, information and money) and requirements
• Product Design: Data model, workflows and integrations
• Build/Configure on DOSS/ERP platform
• UAT and Go-live

The Customer Product Operations Lead will drive our push to upper mid-market and enterprise clients, and will have multiple responsibilities

• Own e2e ERP lifecycle process and success for 1-2 of our bigger clients
• Lead/mentor a pod of associates
• Build new product capabilities/solutions within the DOSS ERP platform

While having previous ERP or industry experience is always a plus, it is not a pre-requisite. Our current team comes from a mix of business and technical backgrounds. What we value the most are:

• Ownership/accountability mindset
• Customer obsession (including client/stakeholder management)
• Appetite for operational and technical details
• Business acumen to zoom out and discuss value drivers
• Passion for learning quickly

What You'll Do

• Own e2e post sales customer lifecycle from discovery, design, product implementation and go-live across our bigger clients - you are responsible for ensuring client achieves success and value from DOSS

• Translate process flows into product design and configuration within the DOSS platform
• Collaborate with technical teams on integrations and data migrations required for successful implementations
• Manage UAT, training, and go-live support, and build relationships with clients to drive retention and potentially upsell - turn our customers to our biggest advocates!!
• Lead initiatives to drive improvements in DOSS product and customer lifecycle processes via automation and AI - we are an AI native company and team

What We're Looking For

• 6-10 years in engineering (industrial, process, computer etc.), consulting, finance, operations, product operations or technical program management at a technology company - ERP experience not required (though if you have experience in that its a plus)
• Systems Thinker. Everything in our business is highly interconnected across people, process, and technology. In order to make progress you need to be able to traverse it, untangle it, and put it back together.
• High-Intensity. You have experience in high-pressure roles within startups, consulting, finance etc. - these are your real preferences, not your stated preferences.
• Technical from 1st Principles. You can grok hard engineering and logic problems from a place of intuition, not memorization.
• Intellectual Firepower. You cut through noise, synthesize, and get to the right answers fast.
• Strong analytical mindset; experience with SQL is a plus (but not required)

What You'll Get

• Competitive salary + meaningful equity
