Job description

Our client is a software startup looking for a Product Manager to own its supply chain vertical, end to end. You'll sit at the intersection of manufacturing, supply chain, and product management: someone who is as comfortable walking a factory floor and talking shop with procurement leads as they are writing a spec or prototyping a workflow. You'll turn complex operational realities into software that people on the floor and in the supply chain office actually want to use.

Responsibilities:

• Own the supply chain roadmap. Define and drive strategy for procurement, inventory management, traceability, vendor management, and BOM/MRP modules within the platform.
• Get close to customers. Visit factory floors and sit down with supply chain directors and procurement leads to understand their real pain points and let those insights shape product decisions.
• Bridge domain and engineering. Translate complex hardware supply chain logic into clear specs, wireframes, and functional prototypes, and work closely with engineering to ship quickly.
• Build it yourself. Use AI-assisted tools to prototype rapidly, run data queries, work with APIs, and occasionally push code alongside the engineering team.
• Align the organization. Partner with engineering, design, customer success, and sales so that supply chain features deliver measurable ROI and smooth customer onboarding.
• Iterate with data. Analyze inventory flow metrics, user behavior, and customer feedback to validate hypotheses, measure feature impact, and keep improving outcomes.

Experience:

• Background in manufacturing or supply chain operations (factory floor, procurement, inventory, or logistics)
• Prior software engineering or hands-on coding experience, before or alongside PM work
• Product management experience shipping features end to end, from research through launch

Skills:

• Deep knowledge of procurement workflows, BOM/MRP, inventory allocation, and traceability
• Logistics
• Ability to work on-site in Los Angeles at least 3 days per week

Baseline Qualifications:

Experience: 3-10 years in product management, supply chain operations, or industrial/manufacturing engineering

Education:

Bachelor's degree in engineering, computer science, supply chain, or a related technical field

Technical skills:

Able to build functional prototypes and write technical specs from complex domain logic

Soft skills:

Strong cross-functional influence, with a track record of aligning engineering, design, sales, and customers

Nice-to-Have:

Experience in advanced hardware sectors such as aerospace, defense, energy, robotics, or automotive
