Product Manager, Supply Chain

Product Manager, Supply Chain Job Opening in El Segundo, California Job#16858880

An early-stage software company building tools for advanced manufacturers is hiring a Product Manager to lead its supply chain product line. You'll own the strategy and roadmap for purchasing, inventory control, parts traceability, supplier management, and material planning, turning the day-to-day realities of production into software that operators actually rely on. Much of your time will be spent on shop floors and in meetings with procurement and materials leaders, learning where their processes break down and bringing those insights back into product decisions. You'll write detailed requirements, sketch wireframes, build working prototypes with AI-assisted tools, run your own data analysis, and sometimes contribute code alongside the engineering team. The package includes a competitive base salary and a meaningful equity stake in a growing company.
