About Storage Scholars

We’re the nation’s premier student storage and shipping service, helping thousands of college students move in and out of their dorms — without lifting a finger. After landing a deal on Shark Tank with Mark Cuban and scaling to 180+ campuses, we're building the logistics engine behind the student experience. Oh and we’re growing fast…the company has doubled it’s revenue every year since we started in 2017.

Our team runs lean, moves fast, and obsesses over making student life easier through technology. If you’re excited by tech-powered logistics, rapid product development, and shaping the next phase of a high-growth business — you might be exactly who we’re looking for.

The Role: Technical Product Manager

We’re looking for a strategic builder to own our product roadmap, optimize user workflows, and partner with our international dev team to ship faster and smarter.

You’ll report directly to the co-founder/COO (that’s me) — and immediately take over the day-to-day product decisions and developer coordination that I’ve been handling myself for years.

This role is equal parts UX architect, systems thinker, and AI-powered execution machine. If you love designing elegant, efficient flows that drive real-world operations — let’s talk.

What You’ll Do

• Translate operational and customer needs into clear product requirements, user flows, and prototypes
• Define logic, page structure, form flows, and edge cases for both front-end and backend features
• Manage and prioritize the engineering backlog with our team of international developers
• QA all new features in staging (you’ll be the first to “try and break it”) and lead bug triage
• Communicate across teams (sales, ops, customer service) to turn problems into clean product specs
• Leverage AI tools (ChatGPT, GitHub Copilot, etc.) to accelerate documentation, testing, debugging, and spec writing
• Own delivery — from brainstorm → scoped MVP → test → live rollout
• Constantly ask: How can we make this simpler, faster, or smarter — for our users and our team?

️ Tools We Use

• Notion (for product specs, docs)
• Slack + Loom (async comms)
• Stripe (payments)
• Twilio/Mailgun (SMS/email automation)
• Zapier (workflow automation)
• Custom-built Angular 2+ / PHP portal & logistics backend
• ChatGPT / GitHub Copilot / AI tools — heavily encouraged

You Might Be a Fit If You:

• Have 3–6 years of product management experience working with dev teams
• Have strong UX instincts and can wireframe user flows (you don’t need to be a designer, just a systems thinker)
• Have worked on internal tools or logistics-facing platforms
• Speak dev — you know what an API call or JSON response looks like, and can debug a user issue with logs or steps
• Use AI tools daily to speed up your work (and want to be on a team that embraces that)
• Are proactive, clear, and have a high ownership mindset — you get things over the finish line without constant nudging
• Are excited about building tech that powers real-world people, not just screens

Bonus Points

• You’ve worked at a fast-growing startup
• You’ve shipped features used by non-technical end users (e.g., warehouse staff, part-time movers, etc.)
• You’ve managed offshore teams or worked async-first
• You’ve built lightweight automation (e.g., using Zapier, Make, or Airtable scripts)

️ Why This Role Rocks

• You’ll get massive ownership — no corporate BS
• You’ll work directly with the founders to shape product strategy
• You’ll move fast and see your work in the real world — on campuses across the country
• You’ll have the opportunity to grow into a Head of Product role as we scale
