About the role

Traba is the AI operating layer for the industrial supply chain.
That foundation gave us proprietary data from millions of shifts and deep enterprise relationships.

Cross-Functional Force Multiplier: Proven ability to operate across functions - sales, customer ops, worker ops, finance, product - and drive outcomes through teams you don't directly own.
Startup Spirit: Ambitious, action-oriented, and willing to go all in alongside the team as a player-coach.

Competitive base salary commensurate with experience, with a highly competitive equity package.
Full benefits including health, dental, and vision coverage, commuter benefit, flexible PTO, and dinner provided for NY employees.
We create and communicate a bold direction that inspires a life-changing vision.

We started in workforce-temp staffing, the biggest operational pain point for the manufacturing and logistics customers we serve-and used it to embed ourselves inside their daily operations and create a far better customer experience through technology.
Now those same customers are pulling us beyond staffing into the broader operational workflows that run their facilities.
by connecting to the systems running across every facility and activating the workers already on our platform to execute against them, we are building applied AI that drives real productivity gains and transforms how the global supply chain operates at scale.
We are backed by Founders Fund, Khosla Ventures, and General Catalyst.
You are always thinking 6-12 months ahead, proactively identifying risks and opportunities before they arrive.
You keep the company on the offense, surfacing challenges, stress-testing assumptions, and ensuring that Traba stays ahead of market shifts and operational bottlenecks.
Dream Big - We are on a path to change the world for the better.
