About this role

What we're looking for

We need someone with 3–10 years of experience at the intersection of manufacturing, supply chain, and product management who can own our supply chain vertical end-to-end. You should be comfortable on factory floors, talking to procurement leads and supply chain directors, and translating complex operational workflows into elegant software solutions. Bonus points if you have a software engineering background and can build prototypes with AI tools.

What you'll do:

Own the supply chain product roadmap — define and drive strategy for procurement, inventory management, traceability, vendor management, and BOM/MRP modules within the ION Factory OS platform

Go boots-on-the-ground with customers — visit factory floors, sit with supply chain directors and procurement leads, and deeply understand their operational pain points to inform product decisions

Bridge domain expertise and technical delivery — translate complex hardware supply chain logic into clear specs, wireframes, and functional prototypes, working hand-in-hand with engineering to ship fast

Build with your own hands — leverage AI-assisted tools to rapidly prototype solutions, run data queries, navigate APIs, and occasionally push code alongside the engineering team

Drive cross-functional alignment — collaborate with engineering, design, customer success, and sales to ensure supply chain features deliver measurable ROI and seamless customer onboarding

Champion data-driven iteration — analyze inventory flow metrics, user behavior, and customer feedback to validate hypotheses, measure feature impact, and continuously improve outcomes
