About iTradeNetwork

At iTradeNetwork, we provide advanced supply chain software and insights tailored to the food & beverage industry. Our mission is clear and ambitious: To feed the world. From the start, we’ve been dedicated to tackling the most pressing challenges within food and beverage supply chains, delivering innovative solutions and expert support that make a measurable impact.

Our cutting-edge technology helps businesses streamline complex procurement and fulfillment processes, minimize food waste, optimize inventory, manage compliance risk, and scale profitably. We’re proud to serve an elite customer base, including 13 of the top 25 North American grocers, 8 of the top 10 foodservice distributors, and 8 of the top 10 global food and beverage manufacturers.

Today, we’re building an AI-first company — meaning AI isn’t a feature we bolt on, it’s the foundation for how we design products, make decisions, and ship software. Cerena is proof of that in action: powered by the most connected supply chain network in food and beverage, iTradeNetwork’s Solution Suite replaces error-prone manual workflows with faster, smarter tools — driving real results for our customers, and ultimately, for the consumers who depend on them.

iTradeNetwork’s Leadership Principles

iTradeNetwork’s purpose is to feed the world — and everything we do is guided by the principles below. Every team member is expected to embody and champion these principles across the organization.

Bias for Action

We value speed and avoid analysis paralysis. We develop conviction, make informed decisions quickly, and take calculated risks to maintain momentum — knowing that swift progress is essential for innovation and growth.

Customer Obsession

We work relentlessly to delight our customers. We work backward from their needs to solve pain points and create solutions that surprise and earn their loyalty. We obsess over customers, not competitors.

Data & Metrics Driven

We operate with facts, not opinions. We dive deep into data and use metrics to measure progress, ground every decision in rigorous analysis, and push for clarity and measurable outcomes.

Raise the Bar

We continuously push for improvement — in ourselves, our teams, and the company. We hire and develop exceptional talent, setting ever-higher standards that elevate performance and drive excellence.

Operational Excellence Through Process

We build lasting processes that optimize for efficiency. By developing, testing, and documenting each process, we create consistency and scale through automation, enabling continuous improvement across the business.

Ownership Mindset

We take responsibility for our work and aim for long-term success. We use resources wisely, stay accountable, and roll up our sleeves to get things done — no task is beneath us.

Earn Trust

We build trust through integrity, transparency, and mutual respect. We communicate openly, own our mistakes, listen actively, and remain open to feedback as an opportunity for growth.

JOB SUMMARY

We are seeking a Product Owner to join the iTradeNetwork Product team, responsible for defining, planning, and managing key products across our software suite. In this role, you will collaborate closely with engineering, design, sales, and cross-functional partners to translate customer requirements into impactful solutions, own product roadmaps, and drive execution across the full product lifecycle to deliver scalable value for the food and beverage supply chain.

Key Responsibilities:

• Execution & Shipping: Take full ownership of the product lifecycle for AI-driven features, with a goal of shipping at least three major enhancements or new modules in your first year that drive internal efficiency or revenue.
• Pragmatic AI Strategy: Identify opportunities to apply predictive AI and deterministic ML to solve "real-world" supply chain gaps—focusing on certainty of output and customer trust.
• Cross-Functional Leadership: Act as the bridge between technical engineering teams and business stakeholders (Finance, CS, Ops) to ensure AI initiatives are aligned with P&L goals.
• Data Analysis & Modeling: Use SQL and large-scale data analysis to validate hypotheses, monitor model performance, and identify the "signal" within iTradeNetwork’s massive datasets.
• Roadmap Contribution: Assist in defining the AI/ML Platform roadmap, ensuring that platform enhancements are scalable, robust, and seamlessly integrated into the broader iTradeNetwork ecosystem.
• Quality Advocacy: Lean on your past experience with data quality to ensure our models are built on a foundation of clean, reliable data, collaborating with data engineering to optimize our "data-to-feature" pipeline.

What you’ll need:

• 2-4 years of professional Product Ownership/Management experience, ideally within a platform, data-heavy, or B2B SaaS environment.
• A formal education in a technical field (Computer Science, Data Science, AI etc.) OR a professional background as a Business Analyst, Data Analyst, or Supply Chain Analyst prior to moving into Product.
• Strong proficiency in SQL and large-scale data analysis. You should be comfortable using Excel for modeling and leveraging modern tools (like LLMs or IDEs like Cursor, Claude) to accelerate your technical workflows.
• You have "lived and breathed" the challenges of data validation and cleaning; you know how to spot "garbage in" before it ruins a model’s output.
• A proven ability to translate complex technical capabilities into clear business value. You care more about "moving the needle" than using the flashiest new tech.
• Excellent verbal and written skills, with the ability to hold your own in a technical deep-dive with engineers while clearly explaining the "why" to a Finance or Ops leader.
• A self-starter who thrives with autonomy but knows when to seek guidance from leadership to ensure alignment with the broader company vision.

Base Compensation: $90,000 - $109,000

Why you will love working here:

• Competitive salary packages
• Comprehensive medical, dental, vision, and life insurance benefits for you and your family
