About the role
- This is a high-visibility role on a nascent product.
- You will work at the intersection of supply chain planning, procurement, and real-time logistics data - with your contributions directly shaping the foundational decisions of this offering.
Responsibilities
- Own sprint-level backlog grooming in collaboration with the engineering manager, ensuring tickets are well-defined and prioritized before each cycle.
- Conduct structured discovery sessions independently with supply chain planners, procurement leads, and operations teams.
- Own integration requirement specifications - defining how data from ERP systems (SAP, Oracle), warehouse management systems, and demand planning tools flows into FourKites via flat-file SFTP, API, and EDI.
- Work with Solutions Engineering to validate integration feasibility, data freshness requirements, and schema mapping during pre-sales and onboarding.
- Partner closely with engineering, design, and Solutions Engineering throughout the feature lifecycle - from discovery through general availability.
- Support pre-sales activities by providing product clarity on capabilities, integration requirements, and roadmap direction.
- Join a team of curious problem solvers that celebrates differences, leads with empathy and values inclusivity.
Requirements
- 3+ years of professional experience in product management, supply chain operations, procurement, or demand planning.
- Ability to write clear, structured product specifications and acceptance criteria that engineering teams can execute without ambiguity.
- Comfort owning integration requirement discussions - understanding data flow, feed latency tradeoffs, and schema mapping without needing to write code.
- Experience working with B2B SaaS product tooling: Jira, Confluence, or equivalent.
- Strong written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to synthesize complex customer conversations into concise product requirements.
Nice to have
- Prior experience at a supply chain software company, a shipper/manufacturer, or a supply chain consulting practice.
- Familiarity with ERP and WMS ecosystems (SAP, Oracle, Manhattan, HighJump) and how they integrate with third-party visibility or planning tools.
- Exposure to AI/ML-assisted recommendations in an operational supply chain context - such as automated reorder suggestions, stockout prediction, or inventory rebalancing.
- Background as a demand planner, procurement analyst, or supply chain operations professional who has transitioned into a product or technical role.
- Experience with supply chain visibility platforms or similar real-time logistics and inventory products.
- Familiarity with KPIs such as OTIF, inventory turnover, case fill rate, and days of supply.
- We encourage you to apply if you think you may be a fit and give us both a chance to find out!
